Prognostic value of histological growth pattern in patients operated for breast cancer liver metastases

Prognostic and predictive value of liver volume in colorectal cancer patients with unresectable liver metastases

PURPOSE To determine the prognostic and predictive value of liver volume in colorectal cancer patients with unresectable liver metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients received whole liver radiotherapy (WLRT) between January 1997 and June 2013. A total dose of 21 Gy was delivered in 7 fractions. RESULTS The median survival time after WLRT was 9 weeks. In univariate analysis, perfo...

The prognostic value of histological grade in the outcome of patients with invasive breast cancer

Prognostic value of proliferative activity in lymph node metastases of patients with breast cancer.

Whether the proliferative activity of distant metastases could be predicted by the proliferation in axillary lymph node metastases was investigated in 304 lymph nodes metastases of 52 patients with breast cancer who had not received adjuvant treatment. The standard deviation of the mean mitotic index (MI)--the average number of mitoses per field in 10 high power fields--was of the best prognost...

Prevalence of Fatty Liver in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment

Background and purpose: Fatty liver is one of the most common liver diseases. Some treatments used in breast cancer may be associated with development of fatty liver. The present study aimed at investigating the prevalence of fatty liver in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 117 patients with breast cancer attending Ramsar Imam Sajjad Hospital in 2017...

Prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor in breast cancer.

Angiogenesis, the process leading to the formation of new blood vessels from a preexisting vascular network, is necessary for tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Data from experimental and clinical studies indicate that breast carcinoma is an angiogenesis-dependent tumor. Most retrospective studies evaluating the prognostic value of determination of intratumoral microvessel density (IMD) at...
