Post-operative PET-CT findings were significant in 18 pts (13.4%): 12 pts (9.0%) were upstaged to stage IV, 4 (3.0%) were diagnosed with a second primary malignancy, 1 (0.7%) was both upstaged and diagnosed with another cancer and one pt (0.7%) had local recurrence. Metastatic ...
Immunoreactivity was graded as follows: no reactivity 1 - less than 10 % of cancer cells positive 2 - 10 – 25 % positive 3 - 25 – 50 % positive 4 – 50 – 75 % positive 5 - 75 – 90 % positive 6 - More than 90 % positive. For ...
All experiments included a negative control slide incubated in buffer with no primary antibody, and a positive control slide containing a specific tissue type known to express the protein of interest (e.g. tonsil). Details of the primary antibodies including immune functions and pre-treatments are...
Methods A retrospective analysis was performed of the outcomes of 41 patients with locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil treated non-surgically at the Yorkshire Cancer Centre between January 2004 and December 2005. Due to long radiotherapy waiting times, patients received ...
Because cost data are not readily available, we evaluated the charges associated with definitive nonsurgical therapy for early-stage lateralized tonsil cancers.#Patients treated with unilateral radiation therapy (RT) for T1 or T2 tonsil cancer between 1995 and 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. Total ...
Annexin A1 is associated with gastric cancer survival and promotes gastric cancer cell invasiveness through the formyl peptide receptor/extracellular signal-regulated kinase/integrin beta-1-binding protein 1 pathway. Cancer 2012, 118, 5757–5767. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] Biaoxue, R.; ...
The enlarged lymph node is caused by acute and chronic inflammation caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as acute cellulitis, purulent tonsillitis, gingivitis, tuberculosis, etc. These types of lesions severely impair the mechanisms and functionalities of the human body. X-ray computed tomography ...
unilateral radiation, head neck cancer, tonsil cancer, treatment charges, treatment billingObjectiveThe cost of treatment as it affects comparative effectiveness is becoming increasingly more important. Since cost data is not readily available, we aimed to evaluate the charges associated with definitive ...
