A network of 23 meta-A genes in EBV-infected cells linked by some related transcription factors, of which the main nodes involve transcription factors JUN, CD9 and HOXA9.
Three out of the five most powerful prognostic determinants are the main individual parameters, which are incorporated in the current staging classifications (depth of bowel wall involvement, number of regional lymph nodes involved and presence of liver metastases).
Our main objective is to arrive at task assignments that could achieve minimum execution time, maximum node utilisation and a well-balanced load across all the nodes involved in a grid.
Cervical lymph nodes were most commonly involved; other lymph nodes involved included axillary, inguinal, and supraclavicular.
NODE ID: Node id of nodes involved.
N1 to N3, one to three axillary nodes involved; (N4+), four or more axillary nodes involved.
Regional nodes now include any involved para-oesophageal node from the cervical to coeliac nodes and the number of nodes involved designates the N stage (N0 = 0 nodes, N1 = 1 2 nodes, N2 = 3 6 nodes and N3>6 nodes).
Survival is significantly better for node-positive patients with 1 3 nodes involved compared with more than 3 nodes[ 12].
The more nodes involved the worse the prognosis.
Another subset is the proportion of nodes involved.
