| Technical skill is at the core of surgery. Surgical training typically lasts for a specified time period or number of procedures. This approach produces surgeons with considerably variable skill levels. Also, training on patients is becoming unacceptable for patient safety. In contrast, pilots and other non-medical personnel are trained to criteria on simulators to ensure skill proficiency in their MOS prior to reporting for duty. Proficiency levels are objectively established ... |

|
| There is currently no curative treatment for recurrent hormonally refractive prostate cancer (PC). Radiation therapy (RT) has been used successfully in the treatment of primary PC, however it is not used to treat locally recurrent PC because of the high morbidity of additional pelvic irradiation and the radiation sensitivities of adjacent normal tissues. Hyperthermia has undergone extensive study as a treatment for BPH and its safety is very well established. ... |
