Just came back from an Advanced GYN Surgery Conference in DC. John Rock presented a similar case 'cured' using radiotherapy techniques through, I guess, RAD ONC department. Paper is either submitted or pending publication, but that might be a way to go. You can try to get a hold of him, or does anybody on the list from Emory know this case?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
