Treatment of MOPP-resistant Hodgkin's disease with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD).

TL;DR: ABVD is a useful salvage chemotherapy program for patients with Hodgkin's disease resistant to MOPP and nine of the 10 complete responders are presently off all therapy and remain disease-free after 9–60 months.

An evaluation of the American Joint Committee (pTNM) staging method for cancer of the colon and rectum

TL;DR: It is concluded that the pTNM classification is only partially able to separate patients into different survival groups; it is complicated and difficult to memorize, and does not give useful prognostic information beyond that provided by the simpler CP system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The incidence and outcome of single-factor, multifactorial, and unexplained infertility.

TL;DR: Long-term pregnancy rates calculated by life-table methodology revealed no significant differences between those with single-factor, multifactorial, or unexplained infertility when all identified factors were treated.

Paradoxical Effect of Radiation on Tumor Incidence in the Rat: Implications for Radiation Therapy

TL;DR: The high incidence of leukemia in the Fischer rat is reduced by radiation to an incidence below that seen spontaneously, and fractionating the radiation decreased this effect, consistent with a hypothesis suggesting that tumor incidence due to radiation is the result of competing processes of tumor induction and cell killing.
