The survival of archival sources determined the precise districts chosen.
A total of 42 consecutive patients were selected based on archival tissue and data concerning survival availability who underwent curative surgical treatment.
We determined nuclear DNA content from 308 archival paraffin-embedded malignant breast tumours and evaluated the survival of the patients by univariate and multivariate statistical analyses.
Results of this study indicate that ER β1 expression in archival TNBC specimens associates with significantly worse 5-year overall survival, a common characteristic of this disease.
The goal in this study was to assess the frequency of increased AURKA-CN in archival tumour tissues of patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) and correlate this finding with progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and KRAS mutation status.
Kormann et al. reported that adjuvant 5FU chemotherapy prolonged the survival of patients with high TS mRNA levels, based on archival FFPE colorectal tumor tissue from 309 patients [ 28].
We therefore performed a retrospective study (January 1985 until December 2007) with samples of 177 archival cases of confirmed histological diagnosis of invasive breast carcinomas to evaluate the long-term survival of breast tumour patients in relation to nuclear and cytoplasmic LASP-1-positivity.
Thirty-two archival biopsy specimens of histologically proven OSCC were diagnosed and critically analyzed for a five-year survival rate at the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, which were considered after an institutional ethical committee clearance was obtained.
The primary objective of this study was to determine if the benefits of IP therapy, measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), varied by the level of BRCA1 protein expressed in archival primary tumours from patients who participated in the randomised IP vs IV phase III trial GOG-172 (Armstrong et al, 2006).
According to the report by Tran et al., concerning the analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival tissues from 49 SCC and 49 AC cases, CD44s expression did not correlate with tumor stage, recurrence, and survival rates, whereas expression of the variant isoform, CD44v6, was particularly associated with local lymph node metastasis in NSCLC [ 17].
