Patients require a clear understanding of their prognosis to make informed decisions about their care. The aim of this study was to compare the perceptions of prognosis and transplant candidacy betwee...
Patients with cirrhosis and their hepatologists were prospectively recruited at an urban liver transplant center. Patients and hepatologists were asked about transplant candidacy and about how many ye...
Seventy patients and 6 hepatologists were enrolled in the study. Patients were predominantly male (61.4%) and white (68.6%), with a mean MELD-Na score of 19 ± 9. There was no-slight agreement between ...
Patients with cirrhosis are more optimistic and less accurate in their predictions of survival compared with hepatologists, although they are more realistic about their transplant candidacy. Aligning ...
There appear to be several variants of naevoid melanoma suspected as having different outcomes, but follow-up studies have been few. We aimed to assess the prognosis of naevoid melanomas in a multi-ce...
From histopathology records we ascertained patients in the UK, Australia and Italy diagnosed with maturing naevoid melanoma (n = 65; 14; 7 respectively) and nodular/papillomatous naevoid melanoma (12;...
Among UK patients, there was a non-significantly lower risk of melanoma death in maturing naevoid vs SSM, including after accounting for competing causes of death (SHR 0.40, 95% confidence interval (C...
There was no significant difference in risk of death from melanomas with naevoid features, and SSM. Nodular/ papillomatous naevoid melanoma patients did not carry higher risk of death than SSM patient...
This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes after performing radical prostatectomy (RP) or low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR) for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IRPC)....
We performed a retrospective analysis on 361 IRPC patients who underwent treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to August 2021, of which 160 underwent RP and 201 underwen...
Median follow-up was 54 months for RP and 69 months for LDR. According to log-rank test, the differences of 5-year bRFS (70.2% vs 83.2%, P = 0.003) and 8-year bRFS (63.1% vs 68.9%, P < 0.001) between ...
LDR is a reasonable treatment option for IRPC patients, yielding improved bRFS and equivalent rates of cRFS, CSS and OS when compared with RP....
Tumor size plays an important role in the staging and treatment of thyroid carcinoma. A tumor with a maximum diameter of 1 cm or less is referred to as microcarcinoma. It is unclear if the clinicopath...
The patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma underwent radical operation at our hospital between December 2000 and January 2022 were retrospectively studied. A database was established for this study...
A total of 198 patients were included. Of them, 56 and 142 with MTMC and macrocarcinoma, respectively. Few patients in the MTMC group had lateral lymph node metastasis. One hundred and seventy-eight (...
Patients with MTMC have a lower risk of lateral lymph node metastasis and better disease-free survival than those with macrocarcinoma. However, there was no significant difference in the overall survi...
Alopecia totalis (AT) and alopecia universalis (AU) is known to have a poor prognosis with high relapse rate, and treatment failure is observed in most patients, regardless of the type of therapy. Alt...
Immune and stromal cells contribute to glioma progression by infiltrating the tumor microenvironment. We used clinical characteristics, RNA sequencing data and the ESTIMATE algorithm to obtain stromal...
Prognostic studies are investigations to estimate the risk or probability of future outcomes in people with established disease. Ideally based on cohort studies where it is established: the time of on...
Cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL) is a malignant tumor that originates in the extrahepatic bile duct and can extend from the hilar region to the lower end of the common bile duct. The prognosis of CHOL patien...
The TCGA-CHOL dataset was applied to obtain and analyze the coexpression of 1281 m...
Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated poor overall survival (OS) for the high-risk group. Two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE89748 and GSE107943) were used to validate the risk model. The result...
Our findings suggest that this model can be a prognostic indicator for CHOL patients....
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the most common head and neck cancer, is highly aggressive and heterogeneous, resulting in variable prognoses and immunotherapeutic outcomes. Natural kil...
In this study, NRGs were used to classify HNSCC from the TCGA-HNSCC and GEO cohorts. The genes were evaluated using univariate cox regression analysis based on the differential analysis of normal and ...
With the TCGA-HNSCC data, we established a nomogram based on the 17-NRGs signature and a variety of clinicopathological characteristics. The low-risk group exhibited a better effect when it came to im...
17-NRGs signature and nomograms demonstrate excellent predictive performance and offer new perspectives for assessing pre-immune efficacy, which will facilitate future precision immuno-oncology resear...
Genetics plays a significant role in determining an individual's susceptibility to dental diseases, the response to dental treatments, and the overall prognosis of dental interventions. Here, the auth...
