## Background: Management of unresectable colorectal liver metastases (clm) can be by regional (hepatic arterial infusion [hai]) or systemic chemotherapy, or by symptom control alone. in this study the costs of each type of management were related to clinical outcome in 134 patients with clm. ## M
## BACKGROUND. The liver is the site of distant failure in ΟΎ 33% of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Liver resection is the only potentially curative option in these patients. Patients with incompletely resected liver lesions (due to the proximity to critical vascular structures) are at hi
## BACKGROUND. Chest computed tomography (CT) often is used to rule out lung metastases in patients with potentially resectable liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma. In the current study the authors evaluated whether CT of the chest was necessary in patients with a negative chest radiograph.
The prognosis of patients with irresectable liver metastases derived from colorectal cancer is invariably poor; unfortunately, these tumours show only minor responses to conventional anticancer agents. The best responses have been obtained by fluoropyrimidines delivered as continuous infusion into t
## Background and objective: The size (0.5-1.0 cm) of early nonpalpable breast tumors currently detected by mammography and confirmed by stereotactic core biopsy is of the order of the penetration depth of near infrared photons in breast tissue. in principle, stereotactically biopsied tumors, there
