Fay A. Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 This is great news if the numbers hold up. It could mean that more people would be considered surgical candidates, and ulimately more long term survivors of later stage disease.

cindi o'h Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I agree Fay. The preliminary study looks very optimistic. The results of the observations, albeit small, appear staistically significant. In the concluding paragraph, I am not sure what was meant by "sterilization of the mediastinal lymph nodes"....I am guessing that it means that they were disease-free...?(that is a new term to me) Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
