German term

RO-Resektion

German to English Medical Medical (general)
Bei Diagnosestellung liegt die Resektionswahrscheinlichkeit nur bei 15% bis 20%. Die Rate von RO-Resektionen ist gering. Probleme bereiten vor allem der retroperitoneale Resektionsrand mit neuraler Infiltration und Lymphknotenmetastasen, die die Prognose der Patienten drastisch verschlechtern. Während die 5-Jahres-Überlebensraten bei Patienten mit RO-resezierten Tumoren mit 28% bis 35% noch akzeptabel sind, beträgt die Gesamt-5-Jahres-Überlebensrate der Patienten mit Pankreaskarzinom nur 0,4%.
Proposed translations (English)

I still can't find out what the abbreviation is though. It must be radical something.

thanks, I never would have thought of zero. And O and 0 are hard to distinguish.
