words only definitions & notes
  1. ablate
    wear away through erosion or vaporization
    A mean of 15 + 9 LM per patient were surgically removed and a mean of 12 + 8 (median of 10) LM per patient were RF ablated.
  2. ablation
    the erosive process that reduces the size of glaciers
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  3. resection
    surgical removal of part of a structure or organ
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  4. median
    relating to or situated in or extending toward the middle
    Patients were selected based on a low natural tumor burden slope, and the technical feasibility of treating all the detectable LM.
    Results: From January 2002 to May 2007, 16 patients with a median of 23 LM per patient (mean number: 25.7 + 12; range16-89) underwent this procedure.
  5. metastasis
    the spreading of a disease to another part of the body
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  6. carcinoma
    any malignant tumor derived from epithelial tissue
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  7. surgically
    in a surgical manner; by means of surgery
    A mean of 15 + 9 LM per patient were surgically removed and a mean of 12 + 8 (median of 10) LM per patient were RF ablated.
  8. endocrine
    of or belonging to glands that secrete hormones
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  9. prognosis
    a prediction of the course of a disease
    Conclusion: This new one-step combined technique allowed us to apply an ‘‘upgraded’’ therapeutic approach to a selection of patients presenting a median of 23 LM per patient and to improve their prognosis, putting it on par with that obtained by conventional hepatectomy.
  10. database
    an organized body of related information
    Methods: In this retrospective review of a prospectively collected database, we used a combination of hepatectomy to treat large or contiguous LM, and extensively used multiple RFA to treat the remaining LM which were smaller than 2.5 cm.
  11. differentiate
    acquire a distinct character
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  12. upgrade
    rate higher; raise in value
    Conclusion: This new one-step combined technique allowed us to apply an ‘‘upgraded’’ therapeutic approach to a selection of patients presenting a median of 23 LM per patient and to improve their prognosis, putting it on par with that obtained by conventional hepatectomy.
  13. bilateral
    having two sides or parts
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  14. procedure
    a particular course of action intended to achieve a result
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  15. tumor
    an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose
    Patients were selected based on a low natural tumor burden slope, and the technical feasibility of treating all the detectable LM.
    Results: From January 2002 to May 2007, 16 patients with a median of 23 LM per patient (mean number: 25.7 + 12; range16-89) underwent this procedure.
  16. multiple
    having or involving more than one part or entity
    Methods: In this retrospective review of a prospectively collected database, we used a combination of hepatectomy to treat large or contiguous LM, and extensively used multiple RFA to treat the remaining LM which were smaller than 2.5 cm.
  17. surgery
    science treating disease or injury by operative procedures
    Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and early survival results of liver metastases (LM) resection combining cytoreductive surgery and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during a one-step procedure, in patients presenting more than 15 bilateral LM from well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma.
  18. technical
    of or relating to aptitude in a practical skill
    Patients were selected based on a low natural tumor burden slope, and the technical feasibility of treating all the detectable LM.
    Results: From January 2002 to May 2007, 16 patients with a median of 23 LM per patient (mean number: 25.7 + 12; range16-89) underwent this procedure.
  19. combination
    the act of bringing things together to form a new whole
    Methods: In this retrospective review of a prospectively collected database, we used a combination of hepatectomy to treat large or contiguous LM, and extensively used multiple RFA to treat the remaining LM which were smaller than 2.5 cm.
  20. slope
    be at an angle
    Patients were selected based on a low natural tumor burden slope, and the technical feasibility of treating all the detectable LM.
    Results: From January 2002 to May 2007, 16 patients with a median of 23 LM per patient (mean number: 25.7 + 12; range16-89) underwent this procedure.
  21. disease
