Indeed, our estimate of overdiagnosis for carcinomas in situ was consistent with the 32% recurrence rate after surgical treatment reported recently, with ipsilateral and invasive recurrences accounting for 81% and 40% of all recurrences.
These findings are consistent with the 33.3% of recurrence rate in our present study.
Consistent with this study, we found significant recurrence rate in ASB patients with elevated procaltionin levels.
This finding is consistent with the experience of others that the axillary recurrence rate is much lower than the rate of axillary involvement on pathological examination of resected axillary nodes.
The current study revealed high prevalence of lower back pain consistent with that of the literature, and unveiled a recurrence rate and behavioral habits of sufferers, which are warning signs of a more chronic state to come.
The current study revealed high prevalence of LBP consistent with that of the literature, and unveiled a recurrence rate and behavioral habits of sufferers, which are warning signs of a more chronic state to come.
Second, the recurrence rate observed in this study (25.6 recurrences/1000 woman-years) is broadly consistent with the recurrence rate observed for women receiving hormonal therapy for ER-positive early breast cancer in a meta-analysis of clinical studies (29.5 recurrences/1000 woman-years) (EBCTG, 2005).
The fact that a small population of these breast cancer stem-like cells survives chemotherapy is consistent with the notion that the surviving tumorigenic cells are responsible for the 40% recurrence rate of invasive breast cancer.
Consistent with our findings, Kim et al. [ 30] reported an increased recurrence rate in patients with positive TgAb (18% versus 1%, P < 0.001), and positive TgAb was independently associated with extrathyroidal extension (HR = 6.05; 95% CI, 1.4 26.5; P = 0.02).
The overall bladder recurrence rate in our study with long-term follow-up was 29.3%, consistent with the results of previous reports, which ranged from 20 to 50% [ 7].
In our study, the recurrence rate during a 2-year follow-up period after the initial screening colonoscopy was 42.4%, being largely consistent with previous reports.
