The complications of tracheostomy in children are substantial. Surveillance and prompt interventions are necessary to overcome life-threatening sequelae. A multidisciplinary (medical-surgical) approach provides better care for these highly vulnerable children. A consensus on pediatric tracheostomy care is needed.
Pathological complete response in the primary tumour failed to predict a response in the perirectal lymph nodes (p=0.08). The degree of response predicted a lymph node response (p=0.02). The detection of ypCR identified patients with a low rate of pelvic recurrence. This may in the future allow selection of patients for whom local excision can be performed without a higher risk of local relapse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
