37–83 years) diagnosed with either low- or high grade gliomas (10 patients with WHO Grade 2 tumors, 1 patient with WHO Grade 3 tumor and 10 patients with WHO Grade 4 tumors (= glioblastoma)) or brain metastases (MET; 27 patients, with 15 lung, 1 breast, 9 melanoma and 2 kidney...
About 91% of all H&N cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, 2% are sarcomas and the other 7% are adenocarcinomas, melanomas and not well-specified tumors [3]. Metastatic lymph nodes in head and neck tumors are malicious prediction factors tending to worsen the prognostics of patients with ...
In addition, other primary tumors can cause axillary lymph node metastases (e.g., malignant melanoma, stomach, lung or ovarian carcinomas) (4). Invasive methods such as fine needle aspiration, biopsy or excision of lymph nodes should be used for tissue characterization, but, sample error, incr...
At present, some DWI sequences have widely been used to diagnose renal diseases and evaluate the renal function in a large number of acute and/or chronic kidney diseases and various renal tumors3,4,5,6,7, including breath-hold DWI (BH-DWI)8, free-breathing DWI (FB-DWI)9, navigator-tri...
The first application was the assessment of time-dependent toxicity grades in melanoma patients receiving one of two immunotherapy treatment regimens. Although toxicities are generally reported in oncology trials as the worst grade experienced by each individual patient, this fails to capture those ...
Table 7. Summary of the RML, the MKD, and the SPRT procedures and the goodness of fit test of the malignant melanoma data. Figure 3 depicts the histogram of the malignant melanoma data, and pdfs of the WE, the GE, and the WB fitted models. From the fitted density functions, it app...
[66]. In general, high levels of Ki-67 expression in breast cancer correlate strongly with a more tenacious proliferation and a poor prognosis. In this study the cut-off point for Ki-67 was set at 30% as recommended in [43,44]. Therefore, the data were split into low and high ...
Whilst negative, our preliminary results could represent a starting point for future research in the context of a patient-centered approach of healthcare. Abstract Histopathologically, uveal melanomas (UMs) can be classified as spindle cell, mixed cell and epithelioid cell type, with the latter ...

In this study the cut-off point for Ki-67 was set at 30% as recommended in [43,44]. Therefore, the data were split into low and high values of Ki-67 to assess the aggressiveness of the tumors. Age and progesterone receptor status were significantly higher in patients with high values ...
