PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT WITH FUNCTIONAL STUDIES OF THE LIVER

Previous studies have shown that preoperative anemia is correlated with the prognoses of various solid tumors. This study was performed to determine the effect of preoperative anemia on relapse and survival in patients with breast cancer.

Few studies have examined gender differences in the clinical management of rectal cancer. We examine differences in stage at diagnosis and preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer patients.

“Vulnerable Elders Survey” (VES-13) is a questionnaire accurate in predicting functional decline and highly correlated with comprehensive geriatric assessment in identifying vulnerable elderly. The purpose of this study was to translate, cultural adapt and validate the first Portuguese cross-cultura[r]

Etiologies such as cervical and lumbar spondylosis may occur in conjunction with MS, and MRI of the cervical or lumbar spine should be part of the diagnostic work-up.18 Studies have show[r]

Functional annotation of bacterial genomes is an obligatory and crucially important step of information processing from the genome sequences into cellular mechanisms. However, there is a lack of computational methods to evaluate the quality of functional assignments.

The aim of the trial is to demonstrate that with the use of modern IMRT/IGRT and reduction of safety margins postoperative wound complications can be reduced. The present study protocol prospectively evaluates the use of IMRT/IGRT for neoadjuvant RT in patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extre[r]

Finally in Section 4 using appraisal theory of emotions as a vehicle we suggest a functional model which attempts a better description of the development, the dynamic relation and the ro[r]

Accurate assessment of liver health prior to undertaking resectional liver surgery or chemoembolisation for primary and secondary cancers is essential for patient safety and optimal outcomes. LiverMultiScan™, an MRI-based technology, non-invasively quantifies hepatic fibroinflammatory disease, steat[r]

Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. This study sought to investigate the association between the preoperative c-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) and oncological outcomes in ovarian cancer patients.

In this paper, firstly, I will briefly discuss some different translation quality assessment (TQA) models; secondly, I will describe House’s functional-pragmatic mod[r]

To explore the prognostic significance of preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and compare the prognostic ability of inflammation-based indices.

To estimate the prognostic value of inflammatory markers in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The elevated preoperative NLR, PLR, MLR and ALP were significantly associated with worse survival and cancer progression.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare tumor that occurs commonly in the long bones of children or adolescents that can also arise in soft tissues including the extremities, retroperitoneum, chest wall, and rarely in the liver as primary sites.

Mapping of the motor cortex by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) can be used for preoperative planning in brain tumor patients. Just recently, it has been proven to actually change outcomes by increasing the rate of gross total resection (GTR) and by reducing the surgery-related rat[r]

In vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that osteopontin (OPN) is associated with many types of cancers. However, no studies have reported the incidence of OPN polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men and women. Systemic disease with metastatic spread to distant sites such as the liver reduces the survival rate considerably.
