.” Approximately half of patients with metastatic melanoma harbor an activating mutation of BRAF, a signaling kinase. These patients tend to show dramatic responses to vemurafenib. Other updates include expanded recommendations on adjuvant therapy and radiation

imaging specialists, and pulmonologists. “Radiation is recommended as an adjuvant therapy to improve local control after surgery, and it is also an effective palliative treatment for relief of chest pain that is often associated with mesothelioma,” said

34%, 1 , 3 a favorable outcome that has been attributed to the combination of increased screening mammography and improved adjuvant therapy. 4 However, despite the steady increase in DCIS detection and treatment in the 1990s, the subsequent

-free and overall survival. 7 The effectiveness of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer led to a number of trials incorporating them into the adjuvant therapy of postmenopausal women with early-stage hormone receptor

adjuvant therapy data (n=3). A total of 29 patients received postoperative RT and were excluded from the analysis of factors associated with omission of preoperative RT. The minimum follow-up time was 120 days for all patients. Variables Analyzed

considered at high risk for recurrence after adjuvant therapy, interferon-alfa appears to confer a small benefit. The value of high-dose interferon was first established in 1996 by Kirkwood et al. 5 for patients with T4 lesions or evidence of regional

neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. One retrospective study focused on 49 patients with adenocarcinoma (90%) or squamous (10%) cancer of the esophagus who were staged as T2,N0,M0 and received neoadjuvant chemoradiation. 14 The study found that the 5-year rates
