•Initial bulk and extent of N2 node involvement do not influence prognosis. •Sterilization of mediastinal LN remains the most important factor for prognosis. •Well-designed prospective clinical trials may be required. [slideshare.net]
Prognosis For anophthalmia, prosthetic eyes should be seen by a specialist two to three times per year to assess fit, mobility, and smoothness. They are usually well tolerated and have good appearance and mobility. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
