To compare adjuvant radiotherapy and salvage radiotherapy after radical resection for treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods. Data from 155 patients with locally advanced ESCC who underwent radical resection and received postoperative radiotherapy from 2005 to 2011 were reviewed. Seventy-nine patients received adjuvant radiotherapy and 76 received salvage radiotherapy after locoregional recurrence. Results. The median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly higher in the adjuvant radiotherapy group than the salvage radiotherapy group (DFS 25.73 months versus 10.73 months, P < 0.001; OS 33.33 months versus 26.22 months, P = 0.006). The independent prognostic factors for DFS were performance status (PS) before radiotherapy and pathological stage in the adjuvant radiotherapy group, compared with lymph node metastasis, tumor location, and adjuvant chemotherapy in the salvage radiotherapy group. The independent progn...

Approximately 80% of cervical cancer occurs in developing countries. The magnitude of the problem has been under recognized and under prioritized compared to health priority such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Most cases of women with cervical cancer in sub-Saharan Africa present at advanced stage of the diseases, when treatment is ineffective or not available. Therefore the aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge of women on cervical cancer and factors affecting their knowledge for cervical cancer in women who are visiting health facility which is found in Gulele sub-city Addis Ababa. Methods A facility based cross sectional study was conducted from January-April 2015 in Addis Ababa Gulele sub city. A total of 508 study participants whose age was 21-64 years were participated in the study. Astructured interview administered questionnaire was used to assess information. SPSS w...
