Resale price maintenance might also serve to secure margins for small-volume retailers who, without some such guarantee, would be disinclined to devote space to the product.
Tumor endoprostheses have broader variation in site, patient age, tumor malignancy, extent of tumor invasion, need for secure margins, patient immune condition, defect size, soft-tissue condition, and prosthesis type than conventional prostheses for total knee or hip arthroplasty.
In case of tumor infiltration of the surgical margin, a follow-up resection was performed prior to plastic reconstruction to secure safe margins.
For complete resection with a secure margin, lobectomy was the minimal requirement due to CT findings of vascular invasion.
For these cases, we determined tumor borders by using conventional contrast-enhanced MRI, and resection was planned to secure surgical margins between 3 and 5 cm from tumor borders determined by contrast-enhanced MRI.
"You make the land grab in the early phases, and what you're securing is margins and revenues for the future," says Ms Rice-Jones.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Paul Jefferson rumbled in from 8 yards out to stretch Penn State's lead to a seemingly secure 27-9 margin with eight minutes remaining.
Alasdair Smith, the national secretary of the Anti Academies Alliance, which campaigns against free schools in England, said: "If you start trading schools as profitable units to be bought and sold in the market, inevitably you see the shift in focus from teaching and learning to securing profit margins.
VAL-MAP is useful not only in wedge resection to identify small hardly palpable lung tumors with adequate resection margin but also in segmentectomy to determine resection lines with securing adequate margins.
Regarding the surgical procedure, SR of cancer can be proven only in the excised specimens; thus, we suggest that it is necessary to resect the primary cancer with secured enough margins, and the dissection of lymph nodes should correspond to preoperative staging, even if there is SR of colon cancer.
Complete resection was achieved with left lower lobectomy in combination with sub-lobar resections (wedge resection for a lesion in the left upper lobe, segmentectomy for a lesion in the right upper lobe, and complex segmentectomy for lesions in the right lower lobe) in which resection lines with securing adequate margins were determined with VAL-MAP navigation.
