VEGF expression as a prognostic marker in osteosarcoma.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway is the key regulator of angiogenesis. In osteosarcoma baseline VEGF is of proven prognostic value but prognostic potential of post-NACT VEGF expression is largely unexplored. ... Read more...

Accuracy of urine cytology and the significance of an atypical category.

30 Oct 2009 The "atypical urothelial cell" cytologic category is nonstandardized. We subclassify atypical cases to "atypical, favor a reactive process" or "atypical, unclear if reactive or neoplastic." We evaluated the predictive significance of atypical cases ... Read more...

Prognostic importance of standardized uptake value on F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography in biliary tract carcinoma.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been used for diagnosis and staging of malignant diseases. However, the prognostic significance of FDG uptake on PET had not been sufficiently evaluated in ... Read more...
