MRI has no role in evaluating stage IA cervical cancer, because microscopic disease cannot be reliably detected [20].
Contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrates an enhanced anterior mediastinal mass (arrow) with infiltration of surrounding fat (open arrow) Open image in new window Fig. 19 CT is the imaging modality of choice for evaluating staging thymoma.
Such program aimed at evaluating staging accuracy in macroscopically intrapelvic disease and survival in FIGO stage III disease (Bendetti Panici et al, 2005).
Such programme aimed at evaluating staging accuracy and survival in macroscopic disease confined to the pelvis Maggioni et al (2006) or in optimally debulked (previously defined as <1 cm) advanced stage (Benedetti-Panici et al, 2005).
This will be reviewed and finalised with people with MS, family members, health professionals and MS Society staff (Stage 2), before being uploaded to the Internet and evaluated (Stages 3 and 4).
The BBC/ITV plan, which multiple sources have described as at a very early "explore and evaluate" stage, fits into director general Tony Hall's "open BBC" pledge as part of a reshaping of the corporation for the digital age in the next charter renewal period.
A biomarker panel like this one might also allow clinical trials to evaluate stage-specific responses to treatment, which may differ.
We chose to evaluate stage, grade and ER status, as these variables are well-established breast cancer prognosticators.
Finally, we evaluated stage completeness for SCLC and NSCLC, allowing for the inclusion of missing TNM components as described above.
Next, we used individual PSG signal processing to evaluate stage-specific breathing abnormalities (i.e., OSA during rapid-eye-movement [REM] sleep stage) as previously described.
