Optimal pathologic staging: defining stage II disease.
Tumor stage remains the most important determinant of prognosis in colorectal cancer and is the basis of all authoritative patient management guidelines. The pathologic assessment of stage II disease is especially critical because it may help to identify patients at additional risk for whom surgery alone may not be curative. Accurate analysis of regional lymph nodes, extent of tumor penetration...
متن کاملProstate cancer pathologic stage pT2b (2002 TNM staging system): does it exist?
OBJECTIVE In the 1997 TNM staging system, tumors were classified into a single subdivision: T2a, and bilateral tumor involvement (T2b). In the 2002 TNM staging system, tumors are subclassified as T2a (less than one half of one lobe involvement), T2b (more than one half of one lobe involvement), and T2c (bilateral involvement). A recent study questioned the existence of a true pathologic pT2b tu...
متن کاملClinical pathologic correlations of Lyme disease by stage.
Lyme disease is capable of producing a wide variety of clinical pathologic conditions and lesions having in common histologic features of collagen-vascular disease. The plasma cell is an omnipotent inflammatory responder in most tissues involved by Lyme disease, ranging from relatively acute to lesions that have gone on for years. Vascular thickening also seems to be prominent, and in the dermi...
متن کاملDengue: defining protective versus pathologic immunity.
Dengue is an expanding public health problem, and an effective vaccine remains elusive. This review discusses how the significant influence of sequential infection with different dengue virus serotypes on the severity of disease can be viewed in terms of beneficial and detrimental effects of heterologous immunity. A more complete understanding of these effects is likely to be critical for predi...
متن کاملAn Optimal Staging Algorithm
Staging is an alternative approach for binding-time analysis and program specialization, making some pieces of code dynamic. Tim Sheard and Nathan Linger showed a search-based algorithm for automated staging. The problems remained are unclear computation complexity and no efficient way to take optimal solutions. In this paper, we propose a linear algorithm to derive optimally staged programs wi...
