resectable การใช้

• However, patients with resectable metastases have survived for several years following diagnosis.
• In general, only 10 % of patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer are resectable.
• Adjuvant chemotherapy for localised resectable soft tissue sarcoma of adults : A meta-analysis of individual patient data.
• Survival of patients with metastatic lesions is better when the metastases are surgically resectable, as chemotherapy has been shown to have little to no benefit.
• The resected size and shape can be controlled, en bloc resection is possible even in a large neoplasm, and neoplasms with submucosal fibrosis are also resectable.
• The goal of surgical cytoreduction is to remove all gross disease including tumors that are in resectable areas of the lung or other structures and any large pleural nodules.
• Radiotherapy may form part of treatment to attempt to shrink a tumor to a resectable state, but its use on unresectable tumors remains controversial as there are conflicting results from clinical trials.
• Early results showed that blood plasma samples collected from patients with early, resectable ( Stage II ) colorectal cancer could be distinguished from those of sex-and age-matched healthy volunteers.
• Painful jaundice is present in approximately one-half of patients with locally unresectable disease, while painless jaundice is present in approximately one-half of patients with a potentially resectable and curable lesion.
• To help decide treatment, the tumors are also divided into three broader categories based on whether surgical removal seems possible : in this way, tumors are judged to be " resectable ", " borderline resectable ", or " unresectable ".
• To help decide treatment, the tumors are also divided into three broader categories based on whether surgical removal seems possible : in this way, tumors are judged to be " resectable ", " borderline resectable ", or " unresectable ".
• According to American Cancer Society statistics in 2006, over 20 % of people with colorectal cancer come to medical attention when the disease is already advanced ( stage IV ), and up to 25 % of this group will have isolated liver metastasis that is potentially resectable.
• The AJCC-UICC staging system allows distinction between stage III tumors that are judged to be " borderline resectable " ( where surgery is technically feasible because the celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery are still free ) and those that are " unresectable " ( due to more locally advanced disease ); in terms of the more detailed TNM classification, these two groups correspond to T3 and T4 respectively.
• A randomized, multicenter, phase III study of active specific immunotherapy with Racotumomab plus best support treatment, versus best support treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC who have achieved an objective response ( partial or complete ) or stable disease with standard first-line treatment is underway in Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Uruguay . 1, 082 patients with NSCLC in stages IIIA ( non-resectable ), IIIB or IV will be evaluated in the study.
