Rapid initial reduction in primary tumor volume with chemotherapy was observed in rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, and hepatoblastoma. These data suggest that second-look resection may be feasible after two to three cycles of chemotherapy. This hypothesis may be tested by randomizing the timing of second-look surgical intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
