Maximal Resection of Glioblastomas May Up Survival
Maximal resection of contrast-enhanced tumor linked to increased overall survival across all subgroups.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Nurse-Led Program Conducts Follow-up After Resection for Early-Stage Lung Cancer
A program in which a nurse specialist coordinates CT imaging and follow-up for patients who underwent surgical resection for early-stage lung cancer was described in a presentation at the 2019 World Conference on Lung Cancer.
Ultra-late Recurrence of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Over 10 Years After Curative Resection
[Cancer Management and Research] Researchers analyzed data to determine the features of ultra-late recurrence of NSCLC, defined as recurrent disease more than 10 years after curative resection.
Advanced Endoscopy Techniques May Be Safe Alternative to Surgery for Most Difficult-to-Remove or Large Polyps
Most patients with large or difficult-to-remove colorectal polyps have a lower incidence of cancer than previously thought; therefore, more advanced endoscopic techniques that spare the colon may be a better and safer alternative to a traditional operation in some cases.
Prophylactic Gynecologic Resections Increase Risk for Aggressive Uterine Cancer in BRCA Gene Mutation Carriers
Women who carry the BRCA1 mutation are at increased risk for serous/serous-like endometrial carcinoma after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. Yet uncertainty exists over the need to perform a full hysterectomy in these women.
Photodynamic Cancer Therapy Holds Promise as an Noninvasive Option for Tumor Resection
A single dose and a beam of light can kill up to 95% of cancer cells in 2 hours, according to preclinical research on a novel approach to tumor resection. Photodynamic cancer therapy may be a treatment option for people whose tumors are inoperable or hard-to-reach.
Imaging and Fluorescence Technique Guides Surgical Removal of Otherwise Undetectable Ovarian Tumors
A newly created tumor-specific fluorescent molecule combined with an imaging system guided surgeons to removing additional tumors not palpable or visible without fluorescence in patients with ovarian cancer.
Gene Expression Pattern in Surrounding Normal Tissue Linked to Breast Cancer Prognosis
A gene expression pattern in the noncancerous tissues surrounding estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer is associated with lower 10-year survival rates.
Early Trial Results Show Novel Injectable Enables Complete Visualization for Resection of Tumors
A new injectable agent causes cancer cells in a tumor to fluoresce, potentially enabling surgeons to locate and remove all of a cancerous tumor on the first attempt.
Incidence of Undetected Cancer in Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery for a Benign Condition Higher Than Estimated
Researchers in Massachusetts sought to determine how frequently cancer is diagnosed in women after undergoing gynecologic surgery for a problem believed to be benign.
