| pubmed-article:15293116 | pubmed:abstractText | SUBJECT MATTER: Following clinical diagnosis of a recurrent tumor, curative treatment is seldom available. Depending on the size of the recurrent tumor and the patient's general health condition, extensive surgical resections and reconstructions are avoided in favor of nonsurgical treatment modalities with palliative intent. According to the literature, location of the tumor, tumor size and R-1 and R-2 resection rates are the most frequent reasons for the development of recurrent tumors. | lld:pubmed |
