Tumor angiogenesis as an important prognostic factor in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Stage IIIA)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate angiogenesis by determining the micro vascular density (MVD) and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor samples, and to analyze their associations with clinical parameters and survival. Tumor tissue specimens of fifty patients (41 males and 9 females), who underwent radical s...
متن کاملMetabolic tumor volume on FDG-PET/CT is a possible prognostic factor for Stage I lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy: a retrospective clinical study
The aim of this study was to determine whether metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) are associated with outcomes in Stage I lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Thirty-eight patients underwent [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) within 60 days before SBRT at our institution ...
متن کاملExtramural Venous Invasion as Prognostic Factor of Recurrence in Stage 1 and 2 Colon Cancer
Aim Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) is a prognostic indicator in patients with colorectal cancer. However, its additional value in patients with stage 1 and 2 colorectal cancer is uncertain. In the present study, the incidence of EMVI and the hazard ratio for recurrence in patients with stage 1 and 2 colon cancer were studied. Methods 184 patients treated for stage 1 and 2 colon cancer were...
متن کاملCXCL12/CXCR4 Gene Polymorphism as a Putative Prognostic Factor for Metastasizing Breast Cancer under Chemotherapy
The receptor and the receptor axis CXCL12 / CXCR4 are the two pairs studied in the metastasis of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the occurrence of CXCR4 / CXCL12 genes polymorphism and the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with metastatic breast cancer under chemotherapy. Material and methods: Genomic DNA was extracted f...
متن کاملTumor volume as prognostic factor in chemoradiation for advanced head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND Tumor volume is an important predictor of outcome in radiotherapy alone. Its significance in concomitant chemoradiation (CCRT) is much less clear. We analyzed the prognostic value of primary tumor volume for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with CCRT. METHODS Three hundred sixty patients treated with definitive CCRT for advanced HNSCC were selected. Th...
