Regular follow-up after curative resection of nonsmall cell lung cancer: a real benefit for patients?
Even though complete resection is regarded as the only curative treatment for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), >50% of resected patients die from a recurrence or a second primary tumour of the lung within 5 yrs. It remains unclear, whether follow-up in these patients is cost-effective and whether it can improve the outcome due to early detection of recurrent tumour. The benefit of regular fol...
متن کاملSurvival Prediction Model Using Clinico-Pathologic Characteristics for Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer Patients After Curative Resection
The current TNM staging system did not provide disease relapse information. The aim of study was try to establish a predictive survival model for disease and overall survival in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients who presented as resectable disease and to develop a reference for follow-up imaging tool selection.From January 2005 to December 2011, 442 patients who initially presented as resectab...
متن کاملFollow-up after curative resection for colorectal cancer.
About one in three patients who have curative surgery for Colorectal Cancer will die as a result of recurrent disease. Follow up is performed to improve on this outcome by detecting recurrence at an earlier and potentially curable stage. In general, this will mean detecting recurrence in an asymptomatic person with resectable suture-line recurrence, or resectable liver and lung metastases. Ther...
متن کاملRelevance of an extensive follow-up after surgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
There are no international guidelines for an appropriate and cost-effective follow-up for resected nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of NSCLC patients after curative surgery. Follow-up included physical examination and chest radiography every 3 months, and chest computed tomography (CT) scan, bronchoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, brain CT scan and bone sca...
متن کاملFollow-up after lung cancer resection: is intensified also justified?
In patients who undergo complete resection of a nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) post-operative followup to detect locoregional and distant recurrences is indicated in order to find potentially treatable lesions at an early stage. There is also an increased risk of developing a second primary lung cancer, unrelated to the previous tumour. Thus, secondary screening may also be worthwhile in thi...
