Their lumps were in places like the memory, speech or personality part of their brains, and for some the prognosis wasn't good.
These patients study allowed to identify some mortality prognosis factors of the disease in intensive care units (such as male gender, Ig administration duration, the occurrence of autonomic disorders like blood pressure instability), the most discriminating remains the occurrence of nosocomial infections.
However, equal weighting of the importance of each factor could reduce precision and potentially misclassify some patients' prognosis.
Glioblastomas (GBM) are some bad prognosis brain tumors despite a conventional treatment associating surgical resection and subsequent radio-chemotherapy.
Despite diagnosis at earlier stages in some cases, prognosis is still grim as a result of early local and/or disseminated recurrences.
While the model fit was also acceptable for some poorer prognosis cancers including lung, ovary, gallbladder and brain and nervous system.
Some molecular markers are associated with prognosis, some are associated with response to therapy, and some are associated with both.
However, within a population of patients, some with 'good' prognosis tumours will relapse and some with 'poor' prognosis tumours will do well, having been cured by surgery alone, receiving no extra benefit from their adjuvant chemotherapy.
Some have shown a better, some a worse prognosis in women.
