Blogger's Opinion/Notes:
- it is very worthwhile to listen to this podcast
- radiation therapy in ovarian cancer has a very long history and in particular biases
- this podcast is a stunningly frank observation regarding clear cell ovarian cancer/radiation therapy, observation/s on the recent Hoskins clear cell report including the issues of size of studies eg. clear cell ovarian cancer (in particular) has a low incidence rate and therefore, agreeably (mine) that this is a point/statistic which cannot be changed eg. rare cell types
- this blog has many past posts over decades of research regarding radiation/irridation therapy in clear cell/ovarian cancer
- a blog/or otherwise search on this issue would be wise to understand the points being made in these two articles
- note also the Hoskins abstract regarding survival rates in clear cell ovarian cancer which, IMHO, have been widely ignored (stats issues) for decades (eg. early stage survival rates ~90% - popular stats quotes)
