Is focal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity within acute diffusion-weighted imaging lesions associated with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis?
The presence of focal fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensity within acute infarcts may increase the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis.
This is the first series we are aware of that compares the outcomes of patients who received treatment after recurrence of pancreatic cancer with the outcomes of those who received no treatment. In this series, it seems that patients who were well enough to tolerate additional therapy had a longer survival than those who received supportive care only. This may be important in the analysis of adjuvant therapy trials of pancreatic cancer with survival as an end point.
