Is consolidation paclitaxel more cost-effective than bevacizumab following upfront treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer?
In this model, B consolidation for advanced EOC was associated with a modest improvement in effectiveness that is less than that with P consolidation and more costly. A statistically significant improvement in survival may improve the value of B consolidation.
A recurrence rate of 35.7% for inguinal herniorraphy with the Bassini technique in a General Surgery University Clinic was surprising and obliged us to interrupt the trial. Our observations point to a prohibitive high failure rate when dealing with the Bassini technique, which was, over a century, the most popular treatment of inguinal hernia all over the world. Shouldice and McVay techniques, even though more complex, should be preferred whenever one makes the choice for "conventional" hernia treatment.
