Limb conservation in primary bone tumours by resection, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation.
En-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation and re-implantation of the irradiated bone have been used to treat 15 patients suffering from primary malignant tumours of bone or cartilage and two with benign lesions. This treatment is an alternative to replacement by prosthesis or allograft bridging techniques. After a mean follow-up of over five years results are encouraging, despite some compl...
متن کاملRole of extracorporeal irradiation in malignant bone tumors.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal irradiation (ECI) is relatively a rare method used in the management of malignant bone tumors (MBT). It consists of en-bloc removal of the tumor bearing bone segment, removal of the tumor from the bone, irradiation, and re-implantation back in the body. We report our preliminary experience of using ECI for management of MBT. MATERIALS AND METHODS From year 2...

متن کاملEn-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation, and re-implantation in limb salvage for bony malignancies.
We treated 50 patients with bony malignancy by en-bloc resection, extracorporeal irradiation with 50 Gy and re-implantation of the bone segment. The mean survivor follow-up was 38 months (12 to 92) when 42 patients were alive and without disease. There were four recurrences. The functional results were good according to the Mankin score (17 excellent, 13 good, nine fair, three failures), the Mu...
متن کاملIs Good Enough?
Hadoop is currently the large-scale data analysis ‘‘hammer’’ of choice, but there exist classes of algorithms that aren’t ‘‘nails’’ in the sense that they are not particularly amenable to the MapReduce programming model. To address this, researchers have proposed MapReduce extensions or alternative programming models in which these algorithms can be elegantly expressed. This article espouses a ...
