In their study, Togashi and colleagues aimed to evaluate if the dose reduction of apalutamide would affect skin-related AEs and CRPC-free survival in 107 patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC; n = 72) or nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cance...
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a reliable prognostic biomarker for renal cell carcinoma (RCC); however, threshold levels for risk stratification have not been identified. 327 men with RCC were retrospectively analysed and CRP thresholds were determined and correlated with clinicopathological characteristics....

Expect to see your first test result number between 50 and 70 IU if you have been diagnosed with cancer using an additional diagnostic tool (biopsy, MRI, CT/PET etc.) Although certain cancers, primarily involving the reproductive organs, can go as high as 10,000 IU. ...
Although pooled estimates suggest possible short-term effects there is no consistent, bias-free evidence that acupuncture, acupressure, or laser therapy have a sustained benefit on smoking cessation for six months or more40. However, lack of evidence and methodological problems mean that no firm con...
Monoclonal antibodies are the type of immunotherapeutics that work by triggering the immune system and helping it attack cancer.1., 2., 3. They act through one of the following mechanisms: the blockade of oncogenic pathways with subsequent effects on cell growth and apoptosis,4., 5. blocking ...
44 Even in individuals with elevated CRP (a marker of inflammation/ACS), statin therapy could lead to a gain of life-expectancy, 6.6 months in male and 6.4 months in female.45 7.2. ASA In the ISIS-2 study, the use of ASA (162 mg chewed) in AMI was associated with nearly 1/4th ...
Ten other patients without cancer underwent HBOT for chronic anal fissure that did not improve with conventional therapy. HBOT was applied with a hyperbaric chamber (Galeazzi, Livorno, Italy), with 100% oxygen, at 2.4 atmospheres for 90 min while breathing through an oral-nasal mask, 5 times ...
CRP level 10 h postoperatively. All three RCTs reported a lower mean CRP level postoperatively in the CHD group, with only Deng et al. [29] reporting a significantly lower mean level. A meta-analysis of the pooled data demonstrated a non-significantly lower mean CRP level of −7.32 mg...
