Micrometastases: marker of metastatic potential or evidence of residual disease?
BACKGROUND Micrometastases within bone marrow have been shown to indicate a poor prognosis in patients with epithelial tumours. However, the degree to which micrometastases represent true residual disease or cell shedding and metastatic potential, is unclear. AIM To explore whether micrometastases represent residual disease, bone marrow taken from carefully staged patients before and after (>...
متن کاملAa-Val: a marker of neutrophil elastase and COPD disease activity
Forced expiratory volume in 1 s is currently the most widely used marker of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity; however, it is a poor surrogate of the emphysematous component and the underlying pathophysiological mechanism, and therefore new markers are urgently needed. Neutrophil elastase (NE) is likely to play a key pathophysiological role in COPD and the current study expl...
متن کاملFetuin-A as an Alternative Marker for Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk in Prepubertal Children
AIM Fetuin-A plays a role in insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. This study aims to determine the relationship between fetuin-A levels and cardiometabolic risk factors, as well as to investigate the effect of serum fetuin-A on insulin resistance indices to determine whether fetuin-A is an additional marker for insulin resistance in prepubertal children. METHODS A total of 99 prepub...
متن کاملChemotherapy for Metastatic Disease
Bladder cancer occurs with a relatively high incidence in industrial nations. For example, bladder cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in American men. The estimated U.S. incidence in 2008 was 68,810 cases and the mortality was 14,100 cases (Jemal et al., 2008). Of newly diagnosed bladder cancer cases, approximately 70% 80% will present with non muscle-invasive disease. Among such c...
متن کاملRelationship between Fetuin-A and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as a Predictor Marker for Atherosclerosis
Problem statement: Associations between serum levels of fetuin-A, C3 complement, calcium × phosphate product and calcification risk index and lipid profile in SLE patients were established. However, the mechanism of accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied with SLE remains elusive. We therefore turned to investigate the association between Fetuin-A, disease activity and accelerated atheroscleros...
