The FOCS system is further analyzed to characterize the sensor response behavior in relation to the sensor node length and possible environmental and chemical temperature effect.
No prominent differences between the cohorts were found in relation to the lymph node status, tumour size, and the histological grade.
In analogy to the former original Dukes-System 641 surgical resection specimens permited an analysis in relation to the lymph node-status by the tumour-stage (Stage I to IV) supported by the Union International Contre le Cancer (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) [ 1- 4, 14].
In relation to the other lymph node parameters, total number of lymph nodes retrieved and total number of negative lymph nodes did not influence overall survival in either colon or rectal cancers, whereas the remaining lymph node variables analysed, including N stage, achieved statistical significance (Table 3).
Therefore, it will be interesting to compare the alternative metrics in relation to the ranking of nodes.
Let us discuss them briefly pointing out relationships between them in relation to the sensitivity of the nodes to mutations and noise in general.
Considering resected patients, an exploratory analysis of the IASLC database studied survival after complete resection in relation to the extent of node involvement using the zonal concept [74,14].
An exploratory analysis of the IASLC database studied survival after complete resection in relation to the extent of node involvement using the zonal concept.
As can be seen, the loading of a Rule Flow is linear in relation to the number of decision nodes in the file.
Additionally, in order to address the issue of metachronous distant metastases in relation to the status of lymph nodes dissected during primary surgery we excluded patients who had not completed a 5-year follow-up.
