Breast cancer, prostaglandins and patient survival

Foxp3 expression in breast cancer patient from Qatar: survival analysis

In breast cancer, the presence of Foxp3 (Tregs) [1] within the tumor milieu has been a matter of debate. Some studies have determined that infiltration of Tregs was associated with poor survival, while others revealed no impact on survival, however this depends on their type, type of cells expressing Foxp3 and the density of the Tregs population [2]. The goal of our study was to quantify Foxp3 ...

Survival Analysis - Breast Cancer

Abstract. In this study we used the parametric survival approach to analyze the survival time of African American breast cancer patients. In research about the survival time of patients, the Cox Proportional Hazard model, a semiparametric method, is primarily used, but this approach does not rely on the distributional assumptions. The parametric method is more consistent with a theoretical appr...

Prostaglandins and cancer.

Chemoprevention has been considered as a possible approach for cancer prevention. A significant effort has been made in the development of novel drugs for both cancer prevention and treatment over the past decade. Recent epidemiological studies and clinical trials indicate that long term use of aspirin and similar agents, also called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can decrease ...

Survival analysis of breast cancer patients with different chronic diseases through parametric and semi-parametric approaches

Introduction: There is a lack of information on the extent of dependency between chronic diseases and the survival rate of breast cancer. Until date, none of the models proposed has determined the impact of chronic diseases on breast cancer survival. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the impacts of chronic diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, and endocrine di...
