Clinical staging error in prostate cancer: localization and relevance of undetected tumour areas.

20 Dec 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the localization and to assess the clinical implications of areas of undetected prostate cancer in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens, focusing on patients with unilaterally negative preoperative biopsy cores. PATIENTS AND ... Read more...

Cell cycle-related kinase supports ovarian carcinoma cell proliferation via regulation of cyclin D1 and is a predictor of outcome in patients with ovarian carcinoma.

29 Nov 2009 Our previous study has suggested that the cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK) is a putative candidate oncogene in glioblastoma tumorigenesis. The potential oncogenic role of CCRK and its clinical/prognostic significance, however, in ovarian carcinoma ... Read more...

Model-based projections for deriving up-to-date cancer survival estimates: an international evaluation.

29 Nov 2009 Model-based projections were shown to be useful for deriving most up-to-date population-based cancer survival estimates. However, the performance of these projections, which can be derived by various approaches, has only been evaluated in very few ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cohort Studies'

Definition: Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics.
