bacteria and of bacterial DNA in bladders of asymptomatic adult women, the viability of these bacteria remains unclear. Unfortunately, both methods would be insufficient to differentiate between two distinct previously hypothesized scenarios: (1) that diverse populations of bacteria can colonize the adult female bladder and influence urinary tract health (Maskell; Fairley: Others) and (2) that ...

Radiation Therapy

Consensus Statement on postmastectomy radiation therapy.

1. Reduction in the recurrence rate of clinically detectable local-regional disease by PMRT is evident. 2. The most recent randomized controlled trials, including two well-designed trials using modern radiation techniques, have shown a moderate and statistically significant improvement in survival. 3.

IN TRAOPERATIVE RADIATION THERAPY FOR GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA

Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a multidisciplinary approach in which residual tumors or tumor beds are directly irradiated during a surgical procedure. To evaluate its efficacy, from 1985, we conducted a prospective study including non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery, IORT (15 Grays) and postoperative external beam radiotherapy (44 Grays). Up to 1993, 51 ca...
