Differences in outcome for cervical cancer patients treated with or without brachytherapy.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of cervical cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy with and without the addition of brachytherapy.

Methods And Materials: In all, 220 patients with cervical cancer stage I-IV treated between 1993 and 2009 were included. Three or five 6.

Remote sensing of aerosols in the Arctic for an evaluation of global climate model simulations.

Unlabelled: In this study Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua retrievals of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 555 nm are compared to Sun photometer measurements from Svalbard for a period of 9 years. For the 642 daily coincident measurements that were obtained, MODIS AOT generally varies within the predicted uncertainty of the retrieval over ocean (ΔAOT = ±0.03 ± 0.
