In breast cancer, ST3 is a bad prognosis marker: its expression is associated with a poor clinical outcome.
Further studies enrolling more patients, and especially septic patients, are necessary to test whether low HDL levels are a bystander prognosis marker of mortality or whether HDLs may limit the deleterious effects of sepsis.
Shock index (SI - ratio between HR and systolic BP) is an important prognosis marker in trauma [1] and has been suggested to be associated with mortality in acutely ill patients even when HR and BP are within the normal range [2].
In addition, the ER alpha receptor positivity, characterized as a differentiated and good prognosis marker, was correlated with the NTS and low NTSR1 expression (p<0.05) (Table 4).
Thus, tumor infiltrating IL-17 producing cells may constitute a novel prognosis marker for ESCC and may play an antitumor role by activating innate and adaptive immunity.
Of note, studies using other parameters confirm that the NTSR1 expression is a poor prognosis marker. in the "Ma" database studying 54 patients with breast carcinomas, NTSR1 is correlated with the recurrence at 5 years (p = 0.04) [23].
Finally, although our results are preliminary, they suggest that ID2 could be involved in the tumor dedifferentiation processes of NSCLC, and could be used as prognosis marker for patients with poorly differentiated tumors.
Because the basal-like subtype is a poor prognosis marker, its increased frequency among African-American patients, when compared with non-African-American patients, could contribute to their disproportionately high breast cancer mortality.
These results encourage the use of VAV3 as a potential prognosis marker in PCa, and provide a possible mechanism for the bypass of AR pathway in therapy-refractory tumors.
Kaplan-Meier survival graph up-to 10 years, and number of patients at risk during this period of time are shown in figure 3. Multivariate analysis with a Cox model adjusted for major prognosis risk factors, age, tumor size, SBR grade, positive ER status and lymph nodes, showed that high NTSR1 expression remained an independent prognosis marker.
Serial PCT measurements are useful as a prognosis marker.
