"These findings are important as active surveillance is a growing trend in this country," said study senior author Dr. Leonard Marks, a professor of urology and director of the UCLA Active Surveillance Program. "It's an excellent option for many men thought to have slow-growing cancers. But ...
A prospective study of intraoperative uterine assessment in low-grade endometrial cancerProstate cancer represents a spectrum of disease that ranges from nonaggressive, slow-growing disease that may not require treatment to aggressive, fast-growing disease that does. The NCCN Guidelines for Prostate ...
Active surveillance is used to monitor slow-growing, low-risk or localized prostate cancer rather than treating it straight away. It typically involves regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screenings, prostate exams, imaging studies, and repeat biopsies to carefully monitor prostate cancer misclassifi...
Low-dose rate brachytherapy for men with localized prostate cancer Localized prostate cancer is a slow growing tumor for many years for the majority of affected men. Low-dose rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) is short-distance r... Frank,Peinemann,Ulrich,... - 《Cochrane Database of Systematic ...
Educational campaigns for penile-lesion identification improve the early diagnosis of penile cancer and should be encouraged (consensus, LE: 5) as penile cancer has an easily recognizable slow-growing pattern. However, more than 50% of patients in Brazil present at an advanced stage at diagnosis ...
On the contrary, the cells expressing high levels of CD271 were slow growing and formed a small tumor in the same period of time (Fig. 2a, b). Histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining for CD271 confirmed the different size of tumors generated by cells expressing either low or ...
Because of the slow-growing nature of PLGGs, previous studies on PLGG-derived mutations have found the need for additional mutational hits to support transformation of primary cell lines.6 The Tp53-null background in PMAs, although alone insufficient to drive oncogenesis,6 provides a primary, ...
With the growing consumer interest in vitamin D – and the articles and books extolling the benefits – there’s actually been an increase invitamin D toxicity. Some of the cases are due to errors, yet much of the blame is due to the widespread availability of high-dose, over-the-counter...
The chicken ovary harbors a complete series of growing oocytes,i.e. an identifiable hierarchy of follicles containing oocytes with diameters ranging from 1 to ∼35 mm. The development of chicken oocytes can be divided into three phases; in the first phase, numerous oocytes, characterized by the...
SBOTs are slow-growing, non-invasive epithelial neoplasms that have a better prognosis compared with other types of ovarian cancer.3–5 Our previous studies have shown that the inhibition of p53 or treatment of epidermal growth factor or transforming growth factor-β1 increases SBOT cell invasion ...
