Comparison of transabdominal ultrasound and electromagnetic transponders for prostate localization. [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this study is to compare two methodologies of prostate localization in a large cohort of patients. Daily prostate localization using B-mode ultrasound has been performed at the Nebraska Medical Center since 2000.

A call for the aggressive treatment of oligometastatic and oligo-recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]

, 2012
Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carries a dismal prognosis. Clinical evidence suggests the existence of an intermediate, or oligometastatic, state when metastases are limited in number and/or location.
