Prognostic value of pretreatment serum alkaline phosphatase in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of serum alkaline phosphatase (S-ALP) has not been fully validated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS S-ALP levels were measured in 601 patients newly diagnosed with NPC before radical treatment, and possible associations of these levels with 5-year overall survival (OS) and tumor-free survival (TFS) were explored using univariate and mul...
متن کاملInflammation-based prognostic scores and nutritional prognostic index in patients with locally-advanced unresectable colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Unresectable colorectal cancer has a poor prognosis. However, some patients survive intensive chemotherapy, and complete resection of primary and metastatic tumors may even be possible. In the present study, we examined the prognostic factors associated with survival after intensive chemotherapy in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer. METHODS This retrospective study enrol...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of maximal standard uptake values (SUVs(max)) from serial fluor-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2002 to January 2004, 62 patients with locally advanced NPC who un...
متن کاملPretreatment Glasgow prognostic score and prognostic nutritional index predict overall survival of patients with advanced small cell lung cancer
Background Various biomarkers have been shown to predict prognosis in various types of cancers. However, these biomarkers have not been studied in advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) is based on serum albumin level and C-reactive protein (CRP). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a combination of serum albumin level and absolute lymphocyte ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of pretreatment 18F-FDG PET-CT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients
BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a special subtype of head and neck cancer (HNC). At present, there are no highly specific prognostic markers to aid in tumor grading and guide patient treatment modalities for NPC. The prognostic value of pretreatment F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (F-PET-CT) in NPC patients is controversial and no consensus exi...
