The hazard ratio for low performance status decreased at an average rate of 2% per week, whereas the same estimates for low albumin level had an average drop of 4% per week (Table 2). The negative effect on survival of having a lung primary tumor is clinically and statistically different ...
[198]introduced composite hydrogel based on reducedgraphene oxide(rGO) and Gelatin methacryloyl (rGO-GelMA) as a potential substrate for cardiac tissue engineering patches. Cultured cells on this system have shown strongercontractility, faster spontaneous beating rate, and better biological function with ...
including 44 patients with tumor resection and partial EGFR-TKI response, three patients with primary tumor resection at the time of diagnosis, five patients with surgical resection for post-operative loco-regional recurrence, and three patients with surgery for loco-regional progression after EGFR-TKI...
A deeper understanding of the causes of ATC is still a high priority for informing therapy regimens.Prior studies11-19 have drawn mixed conclusions regarding the associations of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy (RT) with survival outcomes in patients with ATC. Resection has been ...
Patients who had not been seen within 6 months of data analysis (due to being beyond 2.5 years after surgery) were contacted for telephone follow-up. Locoregional and distant recurrence, survival status, and GGO-specific progression were recorded. Patient and tumor characteristics were analyzed to ...
For all tumor types (740 patients), the actuarial survival rate was 8.1% at 2 y, 4.8% at 3 y, and 2.4% at 5 y. At 2 y, patients with ovarian carcinoma had the highest survival rate (23.9%) and patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) had the lowest survival rate (1.7%). ...
