Do multiple independent primary cancers adversely affect survival of the lung cancer patient?
The risk of developing a second independent cancer was strongly associated with tobacco smoking. Cancer multiplicity was not associated with a worse prognosis. As a consequence, when a first primary tobacco-related cancer is treated with curative intention, patients should be closely followed up for an early diagnosis of a possible new independent cancer; and if diagnosed, treatment to cure should be considered as the first option.
ApoEdp 1% has efficacy for the topical treatment of TK-positive and TK-negative ocular herpes in the rabbit eye model. Thus, apoEdp has the potential to be used for treatment of keratitis caused by TK mutants.
