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.

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 ...

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.

Long-Term Costs of Adjuvant Radiotherapy

1982
Before discussing long-term costs it is worthwhile to define adjuvant radiotherapy. We cannot surely define as adjuvant the irradiation that follows a nonradical operation, because such treatment is compulsory and long-term costs are the price of recovery. We cannot talk about adjuvant treatment also after radical but limited surgery, such as a partial

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.

Retinoblastoma: The case for radiotherapy and for adjuvant chemotherapy

Cancer, 1980

Postoperative Adjuvant Radiotherapy – Standard of Care?

2008
Within 5 years following radical prostatectomy, between 15 and 60% of patients with pT3 prostate carcinomas show an increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level as a sign of local and/or systemic tumor progression. Apart from a large number of retrospective investigations, results are available from 3 randomized studies.For pT3 prostate carcinomas,

Overview of Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

1988
Two papers by Cuzick et al. (1987 a, b) have recently been published in which mortality results from all available mature randomized trials of adjuvant radiotherapy are updated and analyzed collectively. Briefly, these overviews, which were based on individual patient data for over 10000 patients with more than 6000 deaths, showed conclusively that ...
