The continuous bleeding from the operated ear may due to some reparative granulation in the area or due to recurrence of the disease. |
No further chemotherapy or radiotherapy could be given to control this recurrence. |
Pituitary irradiation can induce remission of disease in more than one half of patients with recurrence after surgery. |
There are shorter courses available, but it has been my experience that recurrences are more frequent with the shorter treatment cycles. |
To prevent such recurrences, doctors are testing a number of follow-on treatments, often with well-known drugs. |
Clinical recurrences at one year were lower for photodynamic therapy and cryosurgery. |
