Advances in liver surgery enable the prospect of curative treatment for more patients
Although many prognostic factors predicting survival and cancer recurrence in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases are already identified, the effects of newly introduced technologies and new drugs in the treatment of these patients are still poorly studied because of the presence of many involved factors. view more (2009-06-15)
How to increase the efficacy of local excision of rectal cancer
With the advancement of imaging techniques, the accuracy of preoperative rectal cancer staging has increased dramatically, and the preservation of physical function in rectal cancer patients has become a very important aim of research. view more (2009-03-20)
Is molecular adsorbent recirculating system effective for all the liver failure patients?
Since its introduction in 1993, molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) albumin dialysis has been a subject of research, with the hope of treating effectively patients with acute liver failure. view more (2009-07-08)
Use of archived specimens in biomarker studies
Researchers propose a more efficient system using archived specimens for the evaluation of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in a new commentary published online October 8 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2009-10-09)
International team reveals first prognosticator of survival in aggressive cancer
The tumor suppressor gene pRb2/p130 may provide the first independent prognostic biomarker in cases of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). view more (2008-09-04)
Encouraging results from validation study give green light for a trial of personalised treatment in breast cancer
The overall performance of the gene signature to be used in the first large-scale trial to study the role of such tumor signatures in breast cancer is encouraging and gives the green light to start the trial proper, Dr. Martine Piccart, head of the medical oncology department at the Institut Jules Bordet in Brussels, Belgium, told the San Antonio... view more...

Study shows Chronix technology using serum DNA can identify early presence of disease
Chronix Biomedical today reported that a new study in a peer-reviewed journal further confirms the potential diagnostic and prognostic utility of using circulating fragments of DNA to detect early stage disease. view more (2009-06-23)
Scoring system identifies MDS patients who have low-risk disease but a poor prognosis
A new scoring system for a form of leukemia known as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) identifies patients who appear to have low-risk disease but actually have poor prospects of survival, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report online at the journal Leukemia. view more (2007-12-27)
New universal breast cancer marker predicts recurrence and clinical outcome
Reporting online in the American Journal of Pathology, researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have implicated the loss of a stromal protein called caveolin-1 as a major new prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer, predicting early disease recurrence, metastasis and breast cancer patient survival. view more (2009-05-07)
Family members of critically ill patients want to discuss loved ones' uncertain prognoses
Critically ill patients frequently have uncertain prognoses, but their families overwhelmingly wish that physicians would address prognostic uncertainty candidly, according to a new study out of the University of San Francisco Medical Center. view more (2008-12-29)
A new molecular marker of gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world with a high incidence and death rate. TNM staging system is used worldwide to predict prognosis and direct therapeutic decisions of patients with GC. view more (2009-03-31)
Treating multiple brain tumors with radiosurgery results in improved survival
Treating four or more brain tumors in a single radiosurgery session resulted in improved survival compared to whole brain radiation therapy alone. view more (2005-10-19)
Body Mass Index may serve as prognostic tool for advanced, aggressive breast cancers
Body Mass Index (BMI), the measure of a person's fat based on their height and weight, may be an effective prognostic tool for specific types of breast cancer, according to research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-03-14)
Gene signature assesses breast cancer outcomes
A test that looks at the expression of 70 genes linked to breast cancer can accurately assess a patient's risk of recurrence or death. view more (2006-09-06)
What induce local recurrence of rectal carcinoma?
It is well known that local recurrence is the most important prognostic factor of rectal carcinoma. However, even after undergoing radical resection of primary tumors and lymph nodes, about 4%-50% of patients with rectal carcinoma were reportedly with local recurrence. view more (2008-09-22)
Patients With Panic Are Less Likely To Relapse If They Had Psychotherapy In Addition To Drug Treatment
Two researchers of the University of Roma report on the importance of psychological treatment in preventing relapse of panic. Many short-term trials suggested that the combination of psychotherapy with medication might be more effective than either treatment alone. However, only few studies examined the long-term effectiveness of this combination.... view more... (2003-01-13)
High level of cardiac biomarker may help predict risk of CVD events in patients with heart disease
A blood test for patients with coronary heart disease could help predict their risk for subsequent cardiovascular events or death. view more (2007-01-10)
Cancer cells in blood can identify risk of recurrence in breast cancer
Cancer cells circulating in the blood, or circulating tumour cells (CTCs), are known to be associated with a bad prognosis in women with metastatic breast cancer. view more (2007-09-25)
Improving understanding of cell behaviour in breast cancer
The invasion and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body, known as metastasis, is a principal cause of death in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. view more (2008-06-19)
Is endotoxin receptor CD14 rs2569190/C-159T gene correlated with chronic hepatitis C?
It is still unknown why the natural history of chronic disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV), which currently infects 3% of the world's population, varies from mild in some patients to rapidly progressing in others. view more (2009-08-27)
