Levels of specific glycans significantly distinguish lymph node-positive from lymph node-negative breast cancer patients.
One of the most urgent requirements in breast cancer is the development of a blood-based test for early detection and prognosis. Previously published results found a significant difference between specific glycan levels in patients with advanced breast cancer and healthy controls. The aim of this investigation was to address a more clinically relevant problem, i.e., whether the measurement of s...
متن کاملManagement of the lymph node-positive neck in the patient with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND The goal of the current study was to assess the rates of recurrence in the neck for patients with lymph node-positive human papillomavirus-associated cancer of the oropharynx who were treated with definitive radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy). METHODS This is a single-institution retrospective study. Methodology included database search, and statistical testing including f...
متن کاملThe role of initial neck dissection for patients with node-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
BACKGROUND The current study sought to assess the role of initial neck dissection (ND) for patients with node-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC). METHODS The data for 202 patients with previously untreated node-positive OPSCC were gathered from 12 institutions belonging to the Head and Neck Cancer Study Group in the Japan Clinical Oncology Group. These patients were categ...
متن کاملLymph node density as an independent prognostic factor in node-positive patients with tonsillar cancer.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of lymph node density for predicting the survival of patients with tonsillar cancer and positive neck nodes. METHODS We reviewed data for 64 patients diagnosed with tonsillar cancer with lymph node metastasis in a retrospective single center audit. RESULTS Lymph node density (≥0.05), extracapsular spread (ECS), number of ECS (...
متن کاملDNA methylation profile of triple negative breast cancer-specific genes comparing lymph node positive patients to lymph node negative patients
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype with no targeted treatment available. Our previous study identified 38 TNBC-specific genes with altered expression comparing tumour to normal samples. This study aimed to establish whether DNA methylation contributed to these expression changes in the same cohort as well as disease progression from primary breast ...
