The relative risk (95% confidence interval) of recurrence was 1.036 (1.006 1.066) every time CXCR2 increased by 1 unit.
Based on multivariate analysis, the four factors that were most predictive of survival after the first recurrence were disease-free interval, site of recurrence, progesterone receptor (PgR) status, and vascular involvement.
The combined analysis of disease-free interval, site of recurrence, PgR status, and vascular involvement may assist in estimating the median survival after first recurrence, and may assist with the designing of new therapeutic strategies for patients with recurrence for whom there is an unfavorable prognosis.
We used this information to calculate the median of the interval to recurrence.
Higher expression of TK1 in prostate carcinoma was associated with a shorter interval to recurrence and development of metastasis [ 14].
In addition, the interval of HCC recurrence might be an indication of higher invasion of HCC.
We concluded that tumor size, not ALN status, could influence the interval of IMLN recurrence.
For the 0- to 2-year interval, the hazard of recurrence was higher for the ER-negative patients than the ER-positive patients, and beyond 3 years the hazard was higher for ER-positive patients.
Specific follow-up information was derived from clinical examination 3 and 12 months postoperatively; moreover, time intervals of patients with recurrence or failure were registered.
The parameter µ indicates the average recurrence interval and the parameter α concerns the variance of recurrence intervals.
Furthermore, canyon-flushing and canyon-filling have very different statistical distributions of recurrence intervals.
