A total of 11 breast cancer specimens and 11 normal mammary specimens were enrolled in this study, as determined pathologically.
Sixty women with a histological diagnosis of invasive breast cancer in incisional biopsy specimens were enrolled consecutively in the study.
A second report generated using MS patients is the only one that has examined longitudinal specimens from patients enrolled in a clinical trial [ 13].
To analyze the relationship between urinary KIM-1 and cresecents, eighteen patients who were diagnosed as crescentic IgAN (defined as crescents in more than 50% of glomeruli on biopsy specimens) were also enrolled.
Stool specimens from children enrolled in the surveillance study were collected in labeled screw-top containers no later than 7 days after the onset of the illness and within 48 hours of hospitalization.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether biomarkers from baseline plasma and archival tissue specimens collected from patients enrolled in the EVOLVE-1 trial – a randomized phase 3 study of everolimus in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) – were associated with prognosis, etiology or ethnicity.
Collecting 1049 samples from 1304 eligible men resulted in an overall provision rate of oral fluid specimens of 80.4% enrolled in the survey.
To establish whether this occurred, we examined serum specimens from 97 participants enrolled in the RHDV human health study for antibodies to Q fever (3 ).
In this study we have therefore measured the expression of TS, DPD, TP, and OPRT genes by RT-PCR in gastric tumor specimens obtained from patients enrolled in the ACTS-GC.
Sequence-independent nucleic acid amplification and next-generation sequencing were performed on 105 stool specimens from diarrhea patients enrolled during 2007 by using a 454 GS Junior Instrument (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) as described (6, 7 ).
We previously reported that EGFR positivity, but not HER2 positivity, was associated with poor patient outcomes after curative resection of stage II/III gastric cancer, using archived specimens obtained from patients enrolled in the ACTS-GC [ 4].
