This explorative investigation of a large and mature database provides evidence that the bimodal DM dynamics, previously observed in patients undergoing mastectomy for early breast cancer, is also present in patients undergoing more conservative resections with or without RT.
Nevertheless, it is possible that the surgeon was more conservative during resection because an iMRI was available.
However, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is not subjected to radical cystectomy but to the more conservative transurethral resection and intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been shown to correlate with improved disease free survival and overall survival in STS patients [ 6, 7], and preoperative radiation has been shown to reduce tumor burden before resection, allowing more conservative or function-sparing surgeries [ 8].
More conservative surgical interventions, such as pancreatic head resection and suprapapillary segmental resection of the duodenum, have been reported [ 27, 60] as case reports.
Therefore, despite a high success rate for the resection of UA, more conservative treatments have been recently favored [6, 12, 13, 20, 22, 23].
In future work, it would be valuable to compare these transcriptomic data with those generated from VF mucosal wounds of varying severity (Imaizumi et al., 2014; Mau et al., 2014), including in humans (Hirano et al., 2009), as many clinical patients undergo mucosal resections that are more conservative than the stripping procedure used in this study.
Conservative judges get more conservative.
Peritoneal lavage is a more conservative and bowel-preserving approach compared to resection in purulent diverticulitis.
