In the last 5 years, there have been several studies [25, 26, 27] that have suggested that DWI may have an adjunctive role in the assessment of disease activity in affected bowel.
In short, serum HSP70 may have an adjunctive clinical value in monitoring tumor progression and evaluating prognosis in NPC patients, though its clinical application as a major tumor marker is limited.
Chelation may have an adjunctive role in the medical management of highly exposed adults with symptomatic lead intoxication but is not recommended for asymptomatic individuals with low blood lead concentrations.
The lack of statistical significance for clinical cure in the study by Kofteridis et al. as well as our study may be due to several factors, including relatively small sample sizes and selection bias (i.e., patients may have received adjunctive aerosolized colistin due to a higher severity of illness).
Behavioural interventions, such as speech pathology training [ 35] and vocal hygiene may have an adjunctive role in the management of cough in lung cancer, but as many related techniques are based in cough suppression they may not be all appropriate for lung cancer patients.
HLA typing may have an adjunctive role to identifying individuals who are not genetically at risk of CD and in whom further evaluation for CD is not necessary, saving a large number of repeated tests for CD in patients who would otherwise have to undergo testing because they have symptoms and a first-degree relative with CD. 94 HLA typing should be used to rule out CD.
Finally, the lack of formal exclusion criteria means that patients may have been using adjunctive treatments which contributed to the magnitude of treatment effects.
Radiotherapy may have a place as adjunctive therapy in local recurrence and incomplete surgical removal [32].
Some, but not all, prior investigations suggest armodafinil may have utility as an adjunctive treatment in bipolar I depression.
Therefore, bevacizumab may have potential as an adjunctive treatment to vitreoretinal surgery for the management of Eales' disease with tractional retinal detachment.
