Prediction model for estimating the survival benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy for gallbladder cancer.
PURPOSE The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for gallbladder cancer remains controversial because most published data are from small, single-institution studies. The purpose of this study was to construct a survival prediction model to enable individualized predictions of the net survival benefit of adjuvant RT for gallbladder cancer patients based on specific tumor and patient characteris...
متن کاملSurvival benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy in stage III and IV bladder cancer: results of 170 patients
BACKGROUND Radical cystectomy (RC) with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancers. However, the locoregional recurrence rate is still significantly higher for locally advanced cases post-RC. The underuse of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in such cases after RC is related mainly to a lack of proven survival benefit. Here we are reporting...
متن کاملOverall survival benefit associated with adjuvant radiotherapy in WHO grade II meningioma.
Background Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) after surgical resection of World Health Organization (WHO) grade II meningioma, also known as atypical meningioma (AM), is a topic of controversy. The purpose of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) with or without adjuvant RT after subtotal resection (STR) or gross total resection (GTR) in AM patients diagnosed according to the 2007 WHO classifi...
متن کاملAdjuvant radiotherapy for DCIS.
Sir—The investigators of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) (Feb 12, p 528) on breast-conserving surgery with or without radiation for treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) point out that if their finding that there is an increased rate of cancers in the contralateral breast in the surgery plus radiation group was truly radiation induced, it might well...
متن کاملAn oral cavity carcinoma nomogram to predict benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy.
IMPORTANCE After surgical resection for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, adjuvant radiotherapy may be recommended for patients at higher risk for locoregional recurrence, but it can be difficult to predict whether a particular patient will benefit. OBJECTIVE To construct a model to predict which patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma would benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy. ...
