Abstract
Conclusions A statistically significant relationship between the serially assessed QDM levels and the hazard for the diagnosis of recurrence has been established but the definition of optimum strategies for use of the relationship in clinical practice will require further study. Meanwhile, a prudent action based on the statistical relationship would be to shorten surveilance intervals for patients with high QDM levels.
