Are clinical trials the "gold standard" for cancer prevention research?
Most cancer epidemiologists would cite results from a randomized clinical trial as both the ultimate arbiter of controversial findings from observational studies and the basis for cancer control interventions. Indeed, we consider a trial definitive when its intervention demonstrably lowers cancer risk. But most cancer prevention trials have not shown that interventions appropriate for disease p...
متن کاملCancer Prevention Research A Prediction Model for Lung Cancer Diagnosis that Integrates Genomic and Clinical Features
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death due, in part, to lack of early diagnostic tools. Bronchoscopy represents a relatively noninvasive initial diagnostic test in smokers with suspect disease, but it has low sensitivity. We have reported a gene expression profile in cytologically normal large airway epithelium obtained via bronchoscopic brushings, which is a sensitive and specific bi...
متن کاملUterine transplantation research: laboratory protocols for clinical application.
The aim of this review is to summarize the state-of the-art methods that are used in clinical organ transplantation today, as well as the major findings of recent experimental uterus transplantation (UTx) research regarding organ donation/retrieval, ischemic preservation, surgical techniques for anastomosis, immunosuppression and pregnancy. Absolute uterine factor infertility lacks treatment de...
متن کاملCancer prevention strategies: use of cancer prevention research registries.
We present a model to plan a rational strategy for cancer prevention that has two main functions--assessment and intervention. The assessment function includes three main components: to identify populations at high cancer risk, which may be due to their ethnic group, occupational and environmental exposures, family history, cigarette smoking, or other risk factors; to assess exposure to known c...
