Özdemir, N.; Kara, M.; Dikmen, E.; Nadir, A.; Akal, M.; Yucemen, N.; Yavuzer, S. (Elsevier Science Bv, 2003)Objective: Thymectomy remains as the optimal treatment of choice in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), however, the selection criteria for surgery remains controversial. Methods: We examined the data charts of patients ... -
Prognostic implications of microscopic proximal bronchial extension in non-small cell lung cancer
Kara, M.; Dikmen, E.; Kilic, D.; Sak, S.D.; Orhan, D.; Köse, S.K.; Kavukcu, S. (Elsevier Science Inc, 2002)Background. The loss of approximately one third of early stage lung cancer patients undergoing complete resection by the end of 5 years implies the existence of unknown or undetected factors at the time of operation. We ... -
