Although quantitative assessments of oncological treatment response using physiological parameters have been shown to be superior to size-based response in several studies, the methods mentioned are not yet standardized, and randomized multicentre studies have not yet been performed.
Second, the number of included patients is low, but it is within the range of or superior to the size of patient populations in previously published studies.
These measures are superior to tumor size for predicting tumor invasiveness.
Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the TP53 mutation status was the strongest predictor of breast cancer survival for these 215 patients, superior to tumor size and nodal status.
The medium-grain-size CCTO sample is superior to the small-grain-size sample within the range of various frequencies.
One of the most successful applications of hybridization breeding is the utilization of heterosis, a phenomenon in which a hybrid (F1) progeny is typically superior with respect to size, growth characteristics, and yield compared with either parents.
For each cluster of size superior to 1, the sequences were aligned using MUSCLE (Edgar 2004) and used to build a consensus.
We have found 91 dinucleotide, 171 trinucleotide and 224 tetranucleotide, 217 pentanucleotides and 106 hexanucleotides across 330 transcripts with a size superior to 150 bp.
Furthermore, the results of our recent mastication study showed that 35 40% of the almond bolus was composed of particles with a size superior to ∼500 μm (Grundy et al., 2015), suggesting that the particles reaching the stomach probably contain a significant proportion of intact cells with encapsulated lipid.
Metastatic relapses occurred in the 3 patients with microscopically incomplete resection (2 cases) and/or high grade (2 cases) and/or tumour size superior to 5 cm (2 cases), suggesting that those sarcomas share prognostic features with STS arising from other sites.
We found that lacunarity analysis of images at the smaller and intermediate maximal box sizes was superior to image analysis at the larger box size, independent of colour, while the red spectrum was clearly superior to either green or blue, independent of maximal box size.
