Purpose: The objective of the study is to evaluate the possible association between history of subfertility, fertility treatments, BRCA mutations and the risk of ovarian cancer.
Methods: This Israeli National Case-Control study included 1269 consecutive ovarian cancer cases and 2111 individually matched healthy controls. All participants were interviewed and molecular analysis of BRCA mutations were performed to 896 cases.
Aims And Background: To analyze the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant chemotherapy followed by whole abdominal irradiation in the treatment of resectable gastric cancer with positive lymph nodes.
Methods And Study Design: Between 1996 and 1999, 10 patients with node-positive gastric cancer underwent complete gross resection and were treated by postoperative chemoradiotherapy. The chemotherapy regimen consisted of 5-fluorouracil, 1000 mg/m2/day as a 96-hr continuous infusion on day 1, and cisplatin, 100 mg/m2 on day 2, every 21 days.
Objective: To determine whether the use of adjuvant radiation in the treatment of invasive thymic tumors affects survival and to identify prognostic factors.
Methods: The files of 47 patients with thymic tumors treated by adjuvant radiation in our institute from 1984 to 2003 were reviewed for data on prognosis and survival. All patients underwent thoracotomy followed by either total macroscopic resection (n = 42) or biopsy (n = 5).
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation with continuous infusion (CI) of 5-fluorouracil (5FU) is widely used in rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of oral tegafur-uracil (UFT) and leucovorin (LV) instead of CI 5FU.
Patients And Methods: Patients had resectable T3-4 or low T2 rectal adenocarcinoma.
