Prognosis following surgical bypass compared with laparotomy alone in unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Related Articles Prognosis following surgical bypass compared with laparotomy alone in unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Br J Surg. 2016 Aug;103(9):1200-8 Authors: Insulander J, Sanjeevi S, Haghighi M, Ivanics T, Analatos A, Lundell L, Del Chiaro M, Andrén-Sandberg Å, Ansorge C Abstract BACKGROUND: Resection with curative intent has been shown to prolong survival of patients with locoregional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Feasibility of radiotherapy in nonagenarian patients: a retrospective study.

Related Articles Feasibility of radiotherapy in nonagenarian patients: a retrospective study. Strahlenther Onkol. 2019 Jan;195(1):62-68 Authors: Kocik L, Geinitz H, Track C, Geier M, Nieder C Abstract PURPOSE: Specific information about radiation therapy in nonagenarians is limited. In order to shed more light on the feasibility of radiotherapy in this challenging subgroup, a retrospective study was performed. METHODS: The data of 93 consecutive patients receiving irradiation treatment at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern between June 2005 and December 2016 were analyzed. Patient- and treatment-related factors were extracted from the patient records. Overall survival (OS) was defined as time from irradiation…
