Charles Ingalls posted:Not always, surgery has no place in the curative treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer for instance. In 2016 I got diagnosed with aggressive HPV-related stage 3a penile cancer (which had spread to the sentinel lymph node), and the therapies involved both surgery, as well as IMRT (2 Gray every session for 30 weekdays) and concomitant cisplatin (10mg mixed in 3.5L of fluid once every week for 6 weeks). The exceptions I was thinking of were along the lines of where a cancer has grown around/into bones, or things of that nature - but you're right, there's way more exceptions than that.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Huh, that's interesting, I didn't know that Locally advanced cervical cancer is somewhat similarly treated with 40-45 Gy EBRT (IMRT or VMAT) concomitant with weekly cisplatin followed by brachytherapy (highly radioactive iridium seeds placed in and around the cervix), but no surgery.

ulvir posted:if Høyre becomes/stays the largest party and gets the majority rule in Akershus as well, which seems likely, the public transport around here is going to get properly hosed over the next four years probably, but i doubt that this is what people are voting for. a big thing for the modern norwegian right has been framing welfare state stuff as effectively a consumer relationship (i.e. running on "we will displace costs over on the workers in these sectors" which tends to work OK in the short term), and if a core service such as public transportation starts obviously suffering i think it's going to hurt them.

V. Illych L. posted:local elections are not looking enormously promising. looks like the broader bourgeois side is going to win a fair amount of cities and towns Yeah, Høyre actually leapt ahead massively here. We did a decent showing despite it all. Didn't get in, but I didn't really expect to, and we did better than several close and neighboring municipalities. I think the reason this happened is a combination of things, but if I were to guess a whole lot of it is, genuinely, down to basically this: Wibla posted:This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone... Local elections are at least in part a trial run for the big one two years down the line and the current government has basically made it a sport to step on rakes, so Not helped by the fact that national politicians and the national press are desperate to insert themselves into the local elections and make them exactly the kind of referendum on national politics that local elections shouldn't be. Ah well. I have four years to sit on the outside and lob rocks at the bastards.

i don't have the numbers in front of me, but labour has traditionally had more money directly than the conservatives while the conservatives have traditionally had some weird slush funds helping them out and taking ads. i would hesitate to say that the discrepancy explains this election result, though.

BonHair posted:Yeah, I really have to stop that thing about cancer treatments, I should know I'm probably wrong. The main part of the argument that I actually remember is that cancer is super common, meaning everyone is affected by it either personally or by relations, which means that it has traditionally been an important political priority, regardless of how effective the actual treatment is. And that is, to my mind, politicians making medical priorities, which should be left to people who can figure out the best way to use limited resources (I'm actually kinda pro economists here). BonHair posted:Obviously, especially with early treatment and diagnosing, cancer treatment is probably good in a lot of cases. Public pharma research at universities are very rarely directly applicable drugs while at the university research group level, it is mostly proof of concept stuff regarding treatment. If the ideas and supporting data is solid the route in 99% of cases are to start a company and take in external financing to further refine the concept to a workable product. From this point the small company either tries to launch the product themselves or they get bought up by a larger corporate entity which tries to launch it or further refine it. This is because the researchers at universities is most often highly specialized in their field of knowledge and it simply takes other competences to develop something to a final workable drug; such as regulatory compliance, manufacturing optimization and patient trials. All of which are expensive and require a larger organization to coordinate and pay for. So unless you also move these competences and costs into mostly public institutions your public pharma research is going to need Novo Nordisk and friends. So yes full communism now could possibly solve that problem of drug costs being a major factor, but until then this is what we have. Modern biologicals would however still be relatively expensive in this scenario as the manufacturing process is much more expensive than for traditional drugs due to relying on living cells for the production.

Yeah these national numbers are depressing as all hell. Four right-wing parties at the top (don't tell me Ap isn't more right than left these days). Only thing worse would be INP together with them, based on my interactions with INP people when they had a one-page website and no real program. They were all uninformed smoothbrains. You just know Støre voted H with that boomer "it's a secret election" comment. No "of course I vote for the party I lead, what do you think" -- just that old cliché and a wink. Over here in the vacation resort for bougie Bærumites (Tønsberg / Færder), the paper has been all "who will be the best candidate for mayor in Tbg?" and just list the two Pedersens (H, Ap) like it's the only choice. That rag is so worthless.

gently caress Støre and his loving government, but also gently caress local elections and the staggering lack of awareness/care gen pop has for the issues that matter and affect directly where they live. Get used to being ruled by business owners and realestate developers, pay pigs! That neat shortcut? Sorry, costs money, gotta be fiscally responsible. Developers paying their fair share? Nope, it would disincentivize development to achieve less than maximal profit, can't have that oh loss of public land, goods, sub-par infrastructure, pollution? Lol that's the future 's problem. Who needs universal access playgrounds lmao DISPENSATION oh sorry no we don't have the money to fully staff public services that would be irresponsible. But they seem to be doing fine no matter the conditions we impose so yay! This can is great, we should kick it down the road as much as we can. But I'm not bitter or anything.

this current trend of people aged 80+ getting (re-) involved in politics and getting positions in city councils needs to stop before we turn into a gerontocracy. kindly gently caress off and let someone who aren’t at a considerable risk of dying or going senile within the next couple of years handle it.

Gaze into the future and despair. For real, the aging population will just break politics more and more, as oldies keep voting for policy that fucks over young people. Given the demographics of *checks notes* every developed country, it can only get worse.

norwegian elected officials trend very heavily middle-aged, with the mean age of parliamentarians being 45 and trending slightly down. there aren't that many seriously old people involved in norwegian politics on the national level compared to how many old people we have in the country - the oldest person in parliament currently is carl i. hagen, who's pushing 80 halfway through his term. locally you get some octogenarians sometimes, but i suspect that they're still underrepresented compared to their portion of the population. for the most part, our elders are pretty good at getting out of their seats before they get too obviously degraded. torstein dahle is coming back because his pet issue has gained more salience than anyone planned, and brundtland presumably agreed to be on the ticket to boost oslo ap at a crucial election. it could become a problem, but imo it's not really an issue yet. if anything i think that the opposite trend, where people in their twenties and early-mid thirties are getting very senior positions (like mayor of bergen or minister of justice in the kingdom - or prime minister of finland) is more concerning - it speaks to these positions no longer being seen as the summit of a career, but a step on the way to a think tank, lobby group or international organisation.
