The following data were collected from their medical records: sex; age of the patients at presentation; stage at diagnosis (AJCC, 2002 ); histological types; histological grades; treatment modality given to the patient, for example, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonotherapy.

Two word association judgment tasks, one in visual modality and the other in auditory modality, were given to all the subjects.
For each of these modalities, reference stimuli were given to the dorsal site of one hand, after which testing was carried out on the sites described before, while individuals kept their eyes closed.
During migraine episodes, normal levels of stimulation in all the sensory modalities give rise to extreme discomfort or pain (photophobia, phonophobia, allodynia, osmophobia), percepts normally elicited only at the highest amplitudes of stimulation.
With both treatment modalities, emphasis has always been given to the simplicity and effectiveness of the treatment, time required for each visit, cost and minimum requirement of the inventory.
If the sustainable development objectives of the CDM and the Kyoto Protocol must be attained in the poorest countries, further consideration should be given to CDM modalities in the ongoing post-2012 forestry negotiations.
Previous studies have shown that when perceptual judgments are based on cues from different sensory modalities, the greatest weight is given to those cues that provide the most reliable information [ 30, 31].
This is important because most studies have relied on tasks with a predominant visual component and less attention has been given to non-visual modalities when presenting problems.
