Adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer

BMJ, 2008
Changes in delivery must be driven by evidence from ongoing clinical trials The incidence of breast cancer is rising worldwide, particularly in women over 50—it increased by 30-40% between 1973 and 1997.1 In the United States it has decreased by around 10% in line with the reduced use of hormone replacement therapy, but globally the problem is growing.

The role of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cholangiocarcinoma

Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2015
Cholangiocarcinomas are rare cancers arising from the epithelia of the biliary tract. The only prospect of curative therapy is with surgery. However, relapse rates are high with five-year survival rates typically around 20-30%. Involved resection margins and spread to local lymph nodes are associated with a higher risk of relapse.

Melatonin as an adjuvant in radiotherapy for radioprotection and radiosensitization

Clinical and Translational Oncology, 2018
It is estimated that more than half of cancer patients undergo radiotherapy during the course of their treatment. Despite its beneficial therapeutic effects on tumor cells, exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation (IR) is associated with several side effects.

Chemotherapy as an Adjuvant to Radiotherapy

1967
The rationale of combining a chemotherapeutic agent with radiation therapy can be on one of two hypotheses: 1. Agents like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BUdR) have been shown to be radiation sensitizers (Bagshaw, 1961; Berry and Andrews, 1962; Bosch et al., 1958; Djordjevic and Szybalski, 1960, Kaplan et al., 1961, 1962 ...

The Potential for Adjuvant Radiotherapy in Choroidal Melanoma

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1982
Controversy exists regarding the efficacy of enucleation in the management of choroidal melanoma. The effect of any form of ocular therapy on the prevalence of choroidal melanoma metastases is unknown. In a number of other systemic tumors, preoperative irradiation may lessen the occurrence of widespread disease.

INDICATIONS FOR ADJUVANT RADIOTHERAPY IN ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1999
This article examines the impact of prognostic factors, adjuvant therapy, and randomized trials on the overall survival of patients with endometrial cancer. The potential role of radiation therapy as an adjuvant therapy, as well as the role of lymph node dissection, in the treatment of endometrial carcinomas is reviewed.
