Expression of cell surface molecules associated with lymphoid and myeloid lineage differentiation on the blasts of 53 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was investigated. 1.9% of cases were only HLA"7DR+ 7.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+ 22.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+, CDI0+ 30.2% were HLADR+, CDI9+, CDlO±, CD20+ and 37.7% were HLA-DR±, CD7+, CD5±. Aberrant expression of one or more myeloi...

Relative survival rates, such as 5- or 10-year relative survival rates, which quantify "net survival" of cancer patients, are the most commonly reported measures of cancer outcome by cancer registries. Because relative survival rates vary with age for many forms of cancer, and because the age distribution of cancer patients varies between different populations or within one population over time...

results one-, three-, five-, and ten-year graft survival was 93.8%, 86.8%, 76.6%, and 37.4%, respectively. the results of the joint model showed that risk indicators, such as serum creatinine level (p < 0.0001, hr = 1.82), patient’s age (p = 0.006, hr = 1.03), and anti-thymocytes globulin (p = 0.019, hr = 2.57) had a significant relationship to graft survival. conclusions in general, our study ...

    This review was conducted between December 2018 and March 2019 at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. A review of various studies revealed what data mining techniques to predict the probability of survival, what risk factors for these predictions, what criteria for evaluating data mining techniques, and finally what data sources for it have been used to predict the surv...

Background: Breast cancer is a highly prevalent malignancy leading to death across the world. However, patient survival is greatly affected by making a diabetes diagnosis. The present study aimed to assessment the association between diabetes mellitus with five-year survival rate of breast cancer patients at the cancer treatment centers. Methods: This Retrospective follow‐up study was conducte...

In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible in 91.5% of the patients (75/82). Staining was evaluated using the semi-quantitative assay according to Remmele and Stegner (immunoreactivity score [IRS]). IRS 0-1 was negative/very low, IRS 2-4 was moderate to high...
