We thus perform a literature review to identify countries with evidence of changes in reporting modality for tuberculosis cases, for example changes in case definitions or introduction of electronic or Internet-based technologies, over the time period of our analysis.
EMR has been accepted as a treatment modality for selected cases of early gastric cancer (EGC) in Japan.
Cine phase-contrast imaging is an important imaging modality for these cases; pulsatile flow through the stoma is used postoperatively to verify patency [ 181, 182].
It will be crucial to choose an appropriate modality for each case with careful consideration.
Accurate assessment of the number, size and site of metastases is mandatory to identify those patients elegible for surgical treatment, or to forecast prognosis in the event of other treatment modalities for unresectable cases.
Once broadly available and sufficiently robust, it will likely become a modality of choice for cases in which exposure to ionising radiation should be strictly avoided.
The majority of patients in this study were in an early stage of disease at presentation, possibly due to ongoing sensitization programmes and an increase in the number of hospitals that provide free cancer treatment in the Lake zone regions in recent years, compared to the past treatment modalities for NHL cases [ 2, 9- 11].
Including adjuvant radiotherapy following surgery, which is used in approximately ⅓ of patients with stage IB disease, radiotherapy is the most commonly used treatment modality for >60% of cases of cervical cancer (Chung et al, 2005).
Third, the observers were asked to recommend one of three treatment modalities for each case: non-operative treatment, locking plate osteosynthesis, or hemiarthroplasty.
Subsequently, the observers were asked to recommend one of three treatment modalities for each case: non-operative treatment, locking plate osteosynthesis, or hemiarthroplasty.
