Predictors: Our new nodal staging system with the minor lymphatic pathway. Outcome: Distant metastases. Statistical analysis: Cox regression; net reclassification improvement (NRI) and decision curve analysis (DCA). Our new nodal system was the strongest predictor. The predictors in the final model ...
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a parasitic disease in which thread-like worms inhabit the human lymphatic system, where they can impair normal lymphatic pumping. Classified as a neglected tropical disease and affecting many of the world’s poorest populations, LF can lead to lymphedema, a progressive...
