Comparative Performance of Four Single Extreme Outlier Discordancy Tests from Monte Carlo Simulations by Surendra P. Verma, Lorena Díaz-González, Mauricio Rosales-Rivera, Alfredo Quiroz-Ruiz

“…Because of the use of precise and accurate random and normally distributed simulated data, very large replications, and a large number of independent experiments, this paper presents a novel approach for precise and accurate estimations of power functions of four popular discordancy tests and, therefore, should not be considered as a simple simulation exercise unrelated to probability and statistics. …”

Current treatment strategy for resectable scalp and neck melanoma by A. P. Polyakov, I. V. Rebrikova, A. V. Mordovskiy

“…It has a number of specific characteristics, such as the need for a smaller resection margin at primary tumor removal in some cases, lower accuracy of sentinel lymph node identification due to the complexity of lymph flow from the scalp and neck, and changes in the standard volumes of lymphadenectomy considering lymph flow from the scalp and neck. Oncologists should have reconstructive surgery skills, because their aim is not only to ensure complete tumor excision, but also to achieve a satisfactory appearance of the patient, especially if the tumor is located in the face, open areas of the head and neck and ears, since this is of functional and aesthetic importance. …”
