BACKGROUNDSeveral prognostic indices have been devised to optimize patient selection for phase 1 oncology trials with no consensus as to the optimal score and none qualifying as a marker of treatment response.
METHODSMultivariate predictors of overall survival (OS) were tested on 118 referred patients to develop the Hammersmith Score (HS). The score's ability to predict OS, progression‐free survival...
BACKGROUNDSeveral studies have suggested that low 25(OH) vitamin D3 levels may be prognostic in some malignancies, but no studies have evaluated their impact on treatment outcome in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
METHODSVitamin D levels were evaluated in 97 consecutive, newly diagnosed, intensively treated patients with AML. MicroRNA expression profiles and single nucleotide polymorphisms...
Soft tissue tumors are rare and can arise from a variety of soft tissues and viscera in a variety of body sites. Their management requires a thorough understanding of the biology of the different histologies and molecular subtypes as well as the constraints of specific anatomic sites. The surgical approach has undergone significant changes thanks to a better understanding of the natural history of...
BACKGROUND
Histologic response to chemotherapy has been shown to be an independent prognostic factor in patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. However, in patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS), the prognostic impact of histologic response to chemotherapy is less clear. In the current study, the authors sought to determine the prognostic significance of treatment‐induced pathologic necrosis...
