suggesting that MRNIP may be a specific regulator of HR-mediated DSB repair. These findings, coupled with previous reports, indicate that phase separation is incorporated in different stages of the DNA damage response, including the sensing of damaged DNA, activation and amplification of DNA damage...
Based on the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, SEER data were markedly enriched with tumor grades, invasion/metastasis status (bone, brain, lung, and liver), site-specific variables, and tumor stages. Information about the types of radiotherapy, surgical ...
We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of mesh prophylaxis to prevent PSH in patients undergoing end colostomy creation for rectal cancer. Methods We developed a decision‐analytical model, stratified by rectal cancer stages I–IV, to estimate the lifetime costs, quality‐adjusted life‐years (QALYs)...
The SEER Program staging scheme classified invasive cancers into 4 stages: localized to the primary tumor site, tumor with regional spread, tumor with distant metastases, and unknown (when relevant data were unavailable or when stage was assigned >4 months after initial diagnosis). Data on cancer...
Colon cancer with lymph node metastases has been considered as advanced stage and to have poor survival. We postulated that patients with solitary lymph node metastasis are a distinct subset with better colon cancer-specific survival than those with mult
