“How should we treat older patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, A Review”
Nearly 50 % of newly diagnosed colorectal cancer, affect people over 70 years of age. Inclusion of older patients in clinical trials has been extremely rare. As a result, there is debate on how to manage these patients because it is still unclear how to balance the therapeutic advantages and toxicities. For patients who do not have comorbid conditions, with performance status (P.S.) 0–1, treatm...
متن کاملCarcinoembryonic antigen monitoring to detect recurrence of colorectal cancer: how should we interpret the test results?
study confirms the conclusion of Braga et al. (2 ) that the individuality in Hb A1c is limiting the use of outcome-based or populationbased reference limits for test interpretation and will therefore also limit the use of a fixed cutoff value of 48 mmol/mol (6.5% DCCT) for the diagnosis of diabetes for all individuals/patients. The reason for this is that a small change in Hb A1c may indicate a...
متن کاملWhy Should We Interpret Quantum Mechanics?
The development of quantum information theory has renewed interest in the idea that the state vector does not represent the state of a quantum system, but rather the knowledge or information that we may have on the system. I argue that this epistemic view of states appears to solve foundational problems of quantum mechanics only at the price of being essentially incomplete.
متن کاملIncreased parasympathetic cardiac modulation in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD: how should we interpret it?
BACKGROUND Cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) is impaired in patients with stable COPD. Exacerbation aggravates the patients' health status and functional capacity. While the clinical and functional effects of exacerbation are known, no studies investigated CAM during exacerbation and whether there is a relationship between CAM and functional capacity and dyspnea. METHODS Thirty-two patients ...
متن کاملAssociation of a New Germline Variant in the MUTYH DNA Glycosylase Gene with Colorectal Adenoma Transformation into Malignancy
Background: MUTYH DNA glycosylase germline mutations are linked to the recessive inheritance of multiple adenoma. Studies have revealed that germline mutations in this gene are ethnicity related. This study aimed to identify the germline mutations in MUTYH gene and determine their prevalence among Jordanian patients with colorectal adenoma. Methods: In this study, 150 colorectal adenoma patient...
