Relationship between tumor doubling time and anatomoclinical features in 50 measurable pulmonary cancers.
نویسنده
چکیده
The tumor doubling time (TDT) of 50 measurable pulmonary cancers (primary and metastatic) has been evaluated by the Collins graphic method. The prognosis value of the TDT has been discussed in correlation with some current clinical and laboratory features, ie sex, age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, tuberculin cutaneous response, size of the tumor on the first roentgenogram, and clinical symptoms. The closest correlation has been found with Feinstein’s symptom staging, which can be applied moreover to every pulmonary cancer, measurable or not.

Investigation of the relationship between prostate specific antigen doubling time and the severity of a malignant tumor of the prostate
Background: Prostate cancer has been reported as a worldwide important kind of cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality among men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level is one of the most important markers of prostate cancer diagnosis. While PSA level helps predict the risk of prostate cancer development, researchers still looking for ways to increase the accura...
متن کاملImaging features of estrogen-negative breast cancers: a correlation study with human epidermal growth factor type II overexpression
Background: Estrogen-negative breast cancers have different clinical course, prognostic features and treatment response in comparison to estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancers. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein has found to have a pivotal role in natural cell growth and cell division and is suggested to be directly related to tumor invasiveness in brea...

The relationship between volume increases of pulmonary métastases and their doubling time values was studied in patients with osteogenic sarcomas, soft tissue sarcomas, and malignant melanomas. From 60 patients (18 with osteogenic sarcomas, 24 with soft tissue sarcomas, and 18 with malignant melanomas), a total of 197 métastases were measured and 362 doubling time values were calculated. The ...

The relationship between tumor volume doubling time and survival was studied in 28 patients with histologically confirmed bronchogenic carcinoma with the following characteristics: the cancers presented radiographically as circumscribed peripheral nodules first observed at a diameter of 0.6 to 1.4 cm, and follow-up was maintained until death or for at least 8.5 years from the time the tumor was...
متن کاملExpression of connexin 26 in endometrial adenocarcinoma--analysis of correlations with some anatomoclinical features.
Alterations of gap junctional intercellular communication appear to play a role in the development and progression of cancer. Gap junction channel is composed of two connexons - hexameric units formed of transmembrane proteins called connexins (Cxs). The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression and localization of Cx26 in 73 cases of endometrial cancers and to estimate the relationships ...
