Clinically, radiotherapy can effectively alleviate bone cancer pain at least partly through inhibiting the cancer cell-induced activation of cAMP-PKA pathway. Roles of cyclic nucleotide signaling in neuropathic and inflammatory pain are also seen in many other animal models and are involved in many ...

We coded treatment modalities (wait and see; surgery; chemotherapy; radiotherapy) and chemotherapeutic agents used (prednisone; vinblastine; mercaptopurine; other drugs) as binary variables. The “wait and see” approach was determined as lack of any treatment. In the case of surgery, chemotherapy,...
