Optimal cutoff age for predicting prognosis associated with serous epithelial ovarian cancer: what is the best age cutoff?

Optimal Cutoff Age for Predicting Mortality Associated with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Patient's age at the time of diagnosis is an important prognostic factor for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) as reflected in various staging and risk stratification systems. However, discrepancies exist among the different staging systems on an optimal cut-off age for predicting the clinical outcome of patients with DTC. To determine the age at diagnosis most predictive of clinical outcomes...

Age is associated with prognosis in serous ovarian carcinoma

PURPOSE The survival duration of elderly patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma is shorter than that of their younger counterparts. This variation in survival duration is likely attributed to differences in the distribution of histological type or grade, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging, and undertreatment, but this observation remains controversial. This...

Age cutoff in lymphoma diagnosis

decreased immune response and dysregulated coordination between inflammatory and inflammation-neutralizing processes. The decline in immune competence is invariably seen with aging. As a consequence, viral or bacterial infections, chronic inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancers are more prevalent in elderly. In addition to genomic and epigenomic instability with age, decreased ...

Prognostic significance and optimal cutoff of age in medullary thyroid cancer

Age has been found to correlate with the prognosis for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). This study was conducted to investigate whether age can predict long-term unfavorable prognosis and evaluate its predictive accuracy associated with TNM staging, using data of patients diagnosed with MTC between 2000 and 2010 from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. The relationship between t...
