While the 5-year survival rate for local and regional prostate cancer is nearly 100%, it decreases dramatically for advanced tumours. Accessibility to health care is an important factor for cancer prognosis. The U.S. Military Health System (MHS) provides universal health care to its beneficiaries...
An investigation of the relationship between blood type and prostate cancer stage, grade and prognosisPurpose: To determine prevalence and patterns of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Study Design: Men, diagnosed with prostate cancer...
The PTEN/PI3k/Akt pathway is a pathway in intracellular growth signal transduction that also plays an important role in the onset and progress of cancer. PTEN is a tumor suppressor that inhibits this pathway. This study examined how PTEN expression influences the prognosis of stage IV prostate ca...
Nearly 80% of patients with breast cancer (BC) present with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2−) disease [1,2,3]. The prognosis of HER2− BC varies by molecular subtype and stage at diagnosis [2, 4]. Although the 5-year survival rate is higher in women with ...
Later on, the colorectal, breast and prostate cancer cases recruited in the case–control phase were incepted in three cancer-specific cohorts in order to ascertain clinical, genetic and epidemiological factors associated with prognosis17. From here on, we only refer to the breast cancer cohort. ...

Stage, Age, Comorbidity, and Direct Costs of Colon, Prostate, and Breast Cancer Care The results show that total costs vary by stage at diagnosis and age, but the patterns of variation differ for each cancer. Costs of cancer are not ... SH Taplin,W Barlow,N Urban,... - 《Jnci ...
Stage I testicular cancer is a disease restricted to the testicle. After orchiectomy, patients are considered to be without disease; however, the tumour is prone to relapse in ~4–50% of patients. Current predictive markers of relapse, which are tumour s
Currently, little is known about the phenotypes of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), particularly epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes, and their impact on the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This study aims to investigate the CTC phenotypes and their prognostic implications in stage III...
Endometrial cancer accounts for about 5% and 2% of global cancer incidence and mortality among women8, whereas ovarian cancer accounts for about 4% of the women cancers9. Poor prognosis in female-specific cancers is often a result of late-stage presentation, with additional factors such as ...
