| | Therapy of Colorectal Cancer - October 2001: 710036 |
| | Given the morbidity associated with these standard treatments and the frequent need for postoperative adjuvant therapy, the use of a more conservative approach, such as local excision with adjuvant therapy as primary therapy for selected cases of rectal cancer is appealing. | | | Local recurrences after local excision can be surgically salvaged (84 of 114 patients in 15 studies), with a disease-free survival rates between 40 and 100 percent at a follow-up of 0.1 to 13.5 years. | | | AB - PURPOSE: Although local excision of rectal cancers is a less morbid alternative to radical resection, its role as a curative procedure is unclear. |

| | The goal of this study was to describe postpartum morbidity among HIV-infected women in North America enrolled in the Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS)-an ongoing, multi-center cohort study of HIV-infected women and their children sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies. | | | In a lengthy discussion section, the authors point to changes in therapy over the period of the study and to the great improvements in surgical and obstetrical care, especially post- operative care and the use of antimicrobial treatments. | | | The study covered women whose deliveries resulted in a singleton, live birth before March 1, 1998, with analyses performed to assess trends in the delivery of antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy. |
