Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: These tumors are best managed in multidisciplinary clinics, and the mainstay of treatment is wide local excision and planned postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy." 10/01/1984 - "In any case, it would still appear that the best treatment for this kind of tumor is radical surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and/or multichemotherapy." 01/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND: Adjuvant Radiotherapy (RT) after surgical removal of tumors proved beneficial in long-term tumor control and treatment planning" 04/01/2007 - "The observed total improvement in the survival rate of the second time period is followed by an increase in conservative surgery in stage TIA1, a reduction in the use of adjuvant radiotherapy among operable stages Tlbl, Tlb2 and T2A, while the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer did not differ significantly." 10/01/2005 - "Patients with high-grade tumors and/or positive margins have improved local control if adjuvant radiotherapy is used" Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Rectal Neoplasms (Rectal Cancer) 08/01/2002 - "High quality surgery is of paramount importance in achieving good outcomes, particularly in rectal cancer, but adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy have important parts to play" 09/01/1997 - "An important question is the role of adjuvant radiotherapy together with "more optimized surgery." It is likely that the local recurrence rate will decrease with the same magnitude, indicating that local recurrent rectal cancer in patients with mobile rectal cancer can be more or less eradicated if optimized surgery is combined with preoperative radiotherapy" 01/01/2000 - "Neo-adjuvant radiotherapy of operable rectal cancer in five fractions of high single doses within one week has revealed a statistical significant improvement of survival if compared to surgery alone in the Swedish rectal cancer trial, but is not standard in Germany yet" 04/01/2006 - "BACKGROUND: Although adjuvant radiotherapy was proved to be effective for local control of rectal cancer even after standardized mesorectal excision, the role of adjuvant chemotherapy after such standardized surgery remains to be clarified" 09/01/1997 - "PURPOSE: It is unclear whether adjuvant radiotherapy before or after surgery is effective for locally advanced, resectable lower rectal cancer" Order ALL the reference details at left...

Neoplasm Metastasis (Metastasis) 06/01/2000 - "Surgical removal followed by external adjuvant radiotherapy is considered the best treatment in patients with single brain metastases and systemic disease under control or absent" 10/01/2006 - "Adjuvant radiotherapy also showed a significant reduction in recurrence rates in both pN0 and pN+. Undissected necks have higher incidence of neck recurrence than dissected neck irrespective of pathological status of neck metastasis." 04/01/2002 - "Adjuvant radiotherapy significantly improved ipsilateral regional control (P=0.012) in patients with occult cervical metastases but not in patients with negative neck disease" 04/01/1999 - "Among patients without pelvic lymph node metastases but at high risk of recurrence, those who received adjuvant radiotherapy had significantly better RFS (P = 0.015) and marginally improved OS (P = 0.087) compared with those who received no adjuvant therapy" 04/01/2004 - "For patients with pathologically positive inguinal LN metastasis, adjuvant radiotherapy can increase inguinal control in this study" Order ALL the reference details at left...
