3.	Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 01/01/2004 - "Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy did not provide a significant survival advantage, although adjuvant chemotherapy improved the 5-year overall survival in patients with pathologically proven lymph node metastasis" 02/01/2008 - "Treatment-related variables such as repeat resections in the event of liver recurrence (P < .01) or lung metastases (P < .05), as well as adjuvant chemotherapy (P < .01), differed significantly between 3-year survivors and nonsurvivors, as did the differences in number of metastases, maximum size of metastases, concomitant extrahepatic metastases at the time of initial hepatectomy, and disease-free interval preceding initial recurrence" 12/01/1998 - "CONCLUSIONS: Adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved survival and disease-free survival after hepatic resection for colorectal metastases" 12/01/1998 - "The multivariate analysis for disease-free survival selected adjuvant chemotherapy, lymph node metastasis, and disease-free interval as significant factors" 07/01/1994 - "Adjuvant chemotherapy however reduces significantly the risk of distant metastases and--although there is no influence on the risk for locoregional relapse--increases significantly the chance for total disease-free and overall survival" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

5.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 07/01/2008 - "S-1, a most effective DPD-inhibitory fluoropyrimidine, used as neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy has recently been shown to improve clinical outcome in patients with stage II and III advanced stage gastric carcinoma" 12/01/1987 - "Because the follow-up of these patients suggests a marked improvement in outcome compared with similar patients treated traditionally with mastectomy or radiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, we advocate more widespread use of combination chemotherapy before definitive treatment for stage III carcinomas of the breast." 08/15/1986 - "A retrospective analysis comparing those patients who received full-neck irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy with those who received full-neck irradiation alone showed a significantly improved survival (P less than 0.02) and disease-free survival (P less than 0.05) for those patients with undifferentiated carcinomas, including lymphoepitheliomas, who received adjuvant chemotherapy." 02/01/1995 - "Thus, we believe that the main therapy for subglottic carcinoma, except T1, should be surgery to obtain a better outcome, and that adjuvant chemotherapy after irradiation or neck (paratracheal) dissection with total laryngectomy should be performed in advanced cases." 07/01/1981 - "The data on adjuvant chemotherapy for mammary carcinoma obtained from animal models suggest that (a) systemic chemotherapy combined with tumour excision provides more long-term cures than either method alone, (b) systemic treatment may be effective in eradicating occult micrometastases and (c) the effect of systemic chemotherapy decreases with advancing tumour stage preoperatively, with increasing time lag between operation and chemotherapy, and as the drug dosage decreases" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
