There are various treatments for colorectal cancer, including resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Treatment choice depends on the type of cancer, location and staging. The radicality of resection is the most important prognostic factor for survival. About 5% to 20% of people with colorectal cancer have locally advanced disease, in which the cancer has invaded nearby tissues. After primary resection to remove the tumour, it returns in the same place in about 5% to 20% of people. Evidence ...

Current care: Targeted biopsies, which take only a small number of tissue samples , are done for suspicious lesions identified by MRI. A systematic biopsy approach, in which multiple samples are taken from different regions of the left and right side of the prostate, can be done alongside a targeted biopsy. This can be done if radiologists are unsure if the lesion is malignant and clinical suspicion of cancer is high. Clinical experts explained that the biopsy approach depends on the ...

People in the early stages of the disease may not have symptoms, so lung cancer is often diagnosed late. Detecting lung nodules could help find lung cancer early. Lung nodules can be seen on a chest computed tomography scan. The scan may be done because of signs and symptoms that suggest lung cancer, or as part of targeted lung health checks. ...

High spinal cord injuries can damage the nerves that control breathing and cause chronic respiratory failure. Standard care for managing chronic respiratory failure in people with high spinal cord injuries includes non-invasive forms of ventilation support (such as bi-level positive airway pressure). In advanced stages of respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation is done through a permanent tracheostomy. Phrenic nerve pacing is an alternative treatment for people who have intact phrenic ...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common type of scoliosis in children and young people. It is progressive and the exact cause is unknown. Mild to moderate spinal curvature does not cause any health problems but can cause cosmetic concerns. Severe spinal curvature with secondary rib changes can also cause significant pain and lung problems. Treatment of AIS depends on several factors, including skeletal maturity, location of the spinal curve, speed of curve progression and size ...
