Current indications for post-mastectomy radiation
It has been long established that post-mastectomy radiotherapy reduces the risk of locoregional failure. A survival advantage, however, has only recently been demonstrated. We here provide a review of the literature as regards to the current indications for post-mastectomy radiotherapy.
متن کاملPost-operative therapy for metacarpophalangeal arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroplasty with implants, which is the replacement of painful knuckle joints with artificial knuckle joints, has been performed for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) since the 1960s. The surgery is done because RA can cause damage of the knuckle joints making them unable to straighten out (flexion deformity) and causing them to lean over toward the sma...
متن کاملOptimising treatment for post-operative lung cancer recurrence.
Surgical treatment offers the best chances for long-term survival in patients with primary nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, long-term survival after surgery remains less than 50%, mostly due to a 30–77% rate of tumour recurrence. Unlike the distant type of recurrence that is treated nonsurgically in the vast majority of patients, local or loco-regional recurrence, which occurs in 4.6...
متن کاملPeri-operative radiotherapy for the prevention of post-operative fibrosis on rats
Background: Post-operative fibrosis related pains and functional anomalies can be serious problems for patients. Radiotherapy (RT) could inhibit fibrosis which may occurs post- operation especially following laminectomy. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effect of peri-operative RT on the prevention of post-operative fibrosis and scar formation on rats. Materials and Method...
متن کاملThe Rationale for Post-Operative Radiation in Localized Bladder Cancer
Local-regional recurrence for patients with ≥pT3 disease after radical cystectomy is a significant problem. Chemotherapy has not been shown to reduce the risk of local-regional recurrences in randomized prospective trials, and salvage therapies for local-regional failure are rarely successful. There is promising evidence, particularly from a recent Egyptian NCI trial, that radiation therapy plu...
