Aggressive secondary surgery for local recurrence of pancreatic cancer

Local recurrence after breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer.

Local recurrence following breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer is a significant failure of local treatment. This article reviews the mechanisms, risk factors and overall significance of such local recurrence. The presence of disease at excision margins, an extensive intraduct component, lymphatic vessel invasion, tumour grade and tumour size are currently the best predictors of risk for...

Local-regional Recurrence (lrr) and Salvage Surgery—breast Cancer

Introduction For most of the recent decades, the major focus of radiation oncology in the management of breast cancer has been on performing both randomized and nonrandomized trials comparing breast-conserving therapy (BCT) using surgery and radiation with the more traditional modified radical mastectomy (MRM). With data confirming equivalent survival with these 2 local-regional therapies in th...

Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Characteristics of a Local Aggressive Canine Hemangiopericytoma (CHP) After Surgery

Perivascular wall tumors (PWTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms in the group of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) and are defined as neoplasms deriving from mural cells of blood vessels, excluding the endothelial lining. In the present paper, we describe the gross morphology, histopathology and immunoreactivity of a hemangiopericytoma (HP) as a PWT in a dog with recurrence after surgical excision. The mass...

Combined chemoradiotherapy for isolated local recurrence after primary resection of pancreatic cancer.

CONTEXT Primary resectability is expected in up to 20% of pancreatic cancer patients. While most patients relapse with distant metastases, approximately 30% of patients show isolated local recurrence without evidence of distant metastases. OBJECTIVE The present analysis investigates the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy in this particular patient group. DESIGN Retrospective study. PATIENTS Ei...
