Recent studies are beginning to indicate that genetic variability within certain tumour groups may be of prognostic value, potentially facilitating efforts at prognostication for certain tumour types/subtypes.
This suggests that CN may be of prognostic value for myringotomy outcomes.
Often mentioned factors like age, gender and compensation do not seem to be of prognostic value.
Determination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype/subtype may be of prognostic value to estimate the risk of development of liver cirrhosis.
The findings suggest that eIF2αS51P may be of prognostic value and a suitable target for the design and implementation of effective anti-tumor therapies.
Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggest that response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy, such as tumor regression rate, residual tumor grade, and histologic regression grade, could be of prognostic value in patients with tongue carcinoma.
The result will be of prognostic value for the long-term disease evolution.
Liver volume can be of prognostic value prior to liver surgery in certain patients [1, 2].
Excision repair cross complementing group 1 (ERCC1) may also be of prognostic value in multimodal treated upper GI cancer patients [141].
Cancer cell proliferation as measured by immunohistochemical markers such as the MIB-1 antibody for Ki-67 has recently been suggested to be of prognostic value in prostate cancer.
