2. Prognostic importance of expression of mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs) in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer treated with curative radiotherapy
Abstract Objective: The prognostic importance of minichromosome maintenance complex expression in nasopharyngeal cancer is still unknown. We aimed to find whether minichromosome maintenance complex 2–7 expression may potentially be used to predict the prognosis of nasopharyngeal cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy. Methods: Between April

4. Wnt3a but not CDX-2 expression is associated with differentiated thyroid cancer
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Thyroid neoplasm incidence has increased worldwide, mostly due to the advancements in medical imaging and screening rates. The aberrant Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been identified as a key mechanism, and it has also been related to the metastatic activity of differentiated thyroid cancer. We aimed to verify the difference in the expression

5. The effect of nutritional scores on mortality in COVID-19 patients
SUMMARY OBJECTIVES: While studies on the treatment for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continue all over the world, factors that increase the risk of severe disease have also been the subject of research. Malnutrition has been considered an independent risk factor. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical effect of dietary habits and

6. Evening chronotype as a bipolar feature among patients with major depressive disorder: the results of a pilot factor analysis
Objectives: The bipolar spectrum concept has resulted in a paradigm shift that has affected both the diagnosis and therapy of mood disorders, with bipolarity becoming an indicator of treatment resistance in depression. Evening circadian preference has also been linked to affective disorders. The aim of our study was to confirm the relationship between the se

7. Usefulness of Immature Granulocytes as A Prognostic Factor in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
ABSTRACT Objective: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious, life-threatening disease. Inflammatory markers have recently become the focus of attention in the assessment of severity in the early stages of STEMI. This study aimed to evaluate the importance of immature granulocytes (IG) as a prognostic marker in STEMI. Methods: Patien

10. Non-alpine primary thyroid angiosarcoma
SUMMARY Thyroid angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy, which occurs more frequently in the alpine region, likely associated with iodine deficiency and endemic goiter. This is an aggressive neoplasm that usually harbors a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 49-year-old Portuguese female patient presenting with a large nodule in the anterior neck re

11. Predictive factors of melanoma thickness
Abstract Background: Melanoma thickness is a relevant prognostic marker that is crucial for staging and its calculation relies on the histopathological examination. There is a risk of thickness underestimation with an incisional biopsy if the latter is not performed on a tumor area where the thickness is maximal. This occurrence may have an impact on a ther

12. Prognostic predictors of lymph node metastasis in penile cancer: a systematic review
ABSTRACT Purpose: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is a rare disease in developed countries but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A crucial prognostic factor is the presence of inguinal lymph node metastases (ILNM) at the time of diagnosis. At least 25% of cases have micrometastases at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, we per
