LAPAROSCOPIC RETROPERITONEAL LYMPH NODE DISSECTION FOR CLINICAL STAGE I NONSEMINOMATOUS GERM CELL TE...

Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is one of the most important steps in radical prostatectomy (RP). Not only can PLND provide accurate clinical staging to guide treatment after prostatectomy but PLND can also improve the prognosis of patients by eradicating micro-metastases.

Long-term survival in numerous cancers often correlates with specific whole transcriptome profiles or the expression patterns of smaller numbers of transcripts. In some instances, these are better predictors of survival than are standard classification methods such as clinical stage or hormone recep[r]

Cancer development is mediated by oxidative stress and inflammation, which may correlate with metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate antioxidant vitamins status and metabolic parameters in patients with oral cancer according to tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The only drug currently approved for clinical use in the treatment of advanced HCC is sorafenib. However, many patients with HCC show reduced sensitivity to sorafenib during treatment.

3.Maintain plateau pressure below 30 cm H2O4.FIO2 5.Prolong TI1.MV in ARDS Decreasing inspiratory flow prolongs TI. In ARDS, this gives moretime for the more diseased units to be recruited. Pressure controlled ventilation has not been shown to be superior. In VCV, inspiratory flow is usual[r]

We investigated whether head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) reaffirm patient responses to anti-cancer therapeutics.

The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), an immunity and nutrition based prognostic score, was correlated with clinical outcomes in different tumors. However, the prognostic significance of PNI has not been investigated in hormone sensitive prostate cancer (PCa).

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare overall survival and disease-free survival after fertility sparing surgery (FSS) vs radical surgery in stage 1 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

The gene encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is emerging as a therapeutic and prognostic biomarker in various cancer types, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

(BQ) Part 2 book Essentials of clinical pathology presentation of content: Estimation of hemoglobin, total leukocyte count, red cell indices, laboratory tests in anemia, laboratory tests in hematological malignancies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate,... and other contents.

Cancer immunotherapy via immune-checkpoint inhibition (ICI) by antibodies against cytotoxic Tlymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have significantly improved the outcome of metastasized melanoma and of a rapidly increasing number of other cancer types.

To analyze, assess the current situation and propose some solutions to improve the quality of pre-clinical teaching and learning activities at Military Medical College No.1.

The evaluation and assessment of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) cells in terms of measurable parameters requires the measurement of the current as a function of voltage, temperature, intensity, wind speed and spectrum. Most noticeable of all these parameters is the PV conversion efficiency η,[r]

In conclusion, PCa patients with a PSA level < 4 ng/ml have more favorable tumor characteristics at diagnosis and receive more benefit from active treatment. However, those patients with advanced TNM stage and high Gleason grade should be paid more attention in clinical application.

Several physiological (fertilization, placentation, wound healing) and pathophysiological processes (infection with enveloped viruses, cancer) depend on cell fusion.
