Here is more
on recent trials to determine whether a second operation after relapse from
ovarian cancer is warranted. Turns out
it may be – under fairly tightly constrained circumstances. Three studies are discussed: one from the
United States which found a second surgery ineffective, one from China which
found it useful – and, finally a study from Europe showing it to be effective
(in prolonging life) if the situation is right.
I guess the main lessons here are: (1) don’t have absolute faith in what
the folks in white coats say, and (2) be sure to get treated by real experts in
the field.
I find this
bit of news destressing, but we will of course muddle on..
