Small sample size, infrequent reporting of OS and PFS separated by histologic type, and limited information on patient characteristics also hinder comparison of results.
6 The treatment of NHL is determined by histologic type and stage of disease.
Table 4 presents the distribution of lung cancer cases by histologic type and by sex.
The breast cancers were classified by histologic type and given a Nottingham combined histologic grade.
Mortality following diagnosis of malignant brain tumors varies by histologic type and other risk factors.
Age-distribution patterns of breast cancer in women vary by histologic type (Yasui and Potter, 1999; Anderson et al, 2006) and by hormone-receptor status (Yasui and Potter, 1999; Anderson et al, 2004).
Endometrial cancer is also increasing in Japan (Ioka et al, 2003; The Japan Cancer Surveillance Research Group, in press) and the prognosis is reported to be influenced by histologic type, grade and clinical stage (Trope et al, 2005).
When the survival rate was compared by histologic type, univariate and multivariate survival analyses revealed that the group consisting of salivary duct carcinoma and carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma had the shortest survival, less than 3 years (Fig. 1B) (Table 2).
While this study also evaluated age-specific incidence rates by histologic type for ER+ and ER− tumours separately, it did not directly compare the distributions of ER status, or other clinical or tumour characteristics by histologic type.
We constructed multivariable models to quantify the magnitude of associations between residual disease status (no residual disease, ≤1cm, or >1cm) and all-cause mortality by histologic type among women with clear cell, mucinous, and high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Understanding methylation patterns in GCTs, overall and by histologic type, may identify the developmental stage at which the tumor arose.
