Thus, the biological bases for treatment responsiveness must be defined.
Research into underlying reasons, potentially including variations in tumor biology, psychosocial factors, treatment responsiveness and lifestyle after diagnosis, is warranted.
Many syndromes traditionally viewed as individual diseases are heterogeneous in molecular pathogenesis and treatment responsiveness.
Using dimensional analyses, the present study assessed the expression and treatment responsiveness of specific clusters of neuropsychiatric symptoms over the first three months of IFN-α therapy.
While not all the tested tumors — grown from cells grafted from patient tumors — were sensitive to this treatment, the investigators also outlined a noninvasive way of screening cancer cells in vitro for treatment responsiveness.
Yet, challenges remain in designing prospective clinical trials to assess the clinical utility of ErbB receptors and their ligands to diagnose cancer; to predict progression-free and overall survival, therapeutic responsiveness, and disease recurrence; and to monitor treatment responsiveness.
ERβ and its isoforms have been correlated with endocrine treatment responsiveness in breast tumors, while post-translational modifications, receptor dimerization patterns, and subcellular localization are increasingly recognized as crucial modulators in prostate carcinogenesis.
Maldonado, a postdoctoral fellow in Gynecology and Obstetrics, will research treatment responsiveness.
We mainly looked for the clinical features and treatment responsiveness in these patients.
However, little is known about the reliability, validity and treatment responsiveness of interview-based measures, especially in the context of clinical trials.
Additionally, human variants at the LTA4H locus were associated with host resistance or susceptibility to tuberculosis infection and treatment responsiveness to adjunctive therapy.
