Michel Bolla,Laurence Collette,Leo E.C.M. Blank,Padraig Warde,Jean Bernard Dubois,René-Olivier Mirimanoff,Guy Storme,Jacques Bernier,Abraham Kuten,Cora N. Sternberg,J Mattelaer,José Lopez Torecilla,J Rafael Pfeffer,Carmel Lino Cutajar,A Zurlo,Marianne Pierart +15 more
TL;DR: Immediate androgen suppression with an LHRH analogue given during and for 3 years after external irradiation improves disease-free and overall survival of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This guidance is intended to indicate to those embarking on brachytherapy the factors which may be related to successful outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized double-blind trial of prednisone versus radiotherapy in Graves' ophthalmopathy.
TL;DR: Radiotherapy and oral prednisone appear to be equally effective as initial treatment in patients with moderately severe Graves' ophthalmopathy, and radiotherapy should be considered the treatment of first choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized controlled trial of orbital radiotherapy versus sham irradiation in patients with mild Graves' ophthalmopathy.
Mark F. Prummel,Caroline B. Terwee,M. N. Gerding,Lelio Baldeschi,Maarten P. Mourits,Leo E.C.M. Blank,Friedo W. Dekker,Wilmar M. Wiersinga +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a double-blind randomized trial, 44 patients received orbital irradiation, and 44 were sham-irradiated, and the primary outcome was assessed using major and minor criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
