Re: Ulike retningslinjer for behandling av prostatakreft

“…Det finnes en randomisert studie som sammenligner brachyterapi og prostatektomi (Buron et al, 2007).

The transitions from states of no disease progression to states of hormone-responsive and hormone-nonresponsive disease progression were biochemical determinations.…”
