Because these endpoints were mainly described in the context of chemotherapies that are not generally curative, they may not adequately capture outcomes of new therapeutic modalities with potential for long-term survival.
While US is less sensitive than CT for detecting renal masses, it is a convenient imaging modality with many potential benefits for the inicial ED workup of flank pain and hematuria.
Although bioluminescence imaging is a non-invasive modality with considerable potential for visualisation in deeper tissues and is widely used in the field of preclinical animal research, those studies have been limited by difficulties in non-invasively monitoring early disease progression in real time with high spatial resolution [11].
Optical breast imaging could be the modality with this potential, because of its molecular imaging capability.
Cell therapy with hMSCs is a promising and safe modality with the potential for vascular regeneration in the treatment of several diseases, especially critical limb ischemia.
Since allo-HSCT has been introduced as a modality with curative potential during study period, we also evaluated the correlation of the annual number of allo-HSCT and the trend of the mortality of ATLL.
Since allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been introduced as a modality with curative potential during study period, we also evaluated the association of the annual number of allo-HSCT and the trend of the mortality of ATLL.
This is likely to be of growing importance as SCT is at present the only modality with curative potential in MDS, and, with the advent of reduced intensity conditioning, is being used for patients with MDS who are older or have a higher co-morbid burden.
Determining precise aetiology in M fatalities is complex, given victim exposure to multiple modalities with injurious potential.
13 In order to overcome the actual or perceived barriers associated with traditional exercise, new modalities with the potential to impact body weight and composition must be investigated.
