Download or read book Prognostic Factors in Cancer written by Mary K. Gospodarowicz and published by Wiley-Liss. This book was released on 2001-04-16 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition updates the first authoritative monograph on prognostic factors and their use in planning treatment for cancer patients. The text is an extension of the work of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) on the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours and their current focus on prognostic factors in cancer. The TNM classification is the most widely used system for staging the progression of cancer. The anatomic extent of disease represented by the TNM system is the single most important predictor for outcomes of most tumors. Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition is divided into two parts. The first section examines prognosis in general and more specifically prognosis in cancer patients, including issues surrounding accuracy of measurement of prognosis, the methodology of studying and classifying prognostic factors, and the application of prognostic factors in clinical decision-making in the treatment of cancer. The second section provides chapters on site-specific or tumor-specific neoplasms and the prognostic factors associated with them. These chapters contain an overview of the relevant literature and include summaries that classify prognostic factors according to subject and relevance. Prognostic Factors in Cancer, Second Edition illustrates the scope of the field as it stands today, and will provide perspective on likely outcomes of neoplastic disease for all physicians and others responsible for the care of patients with cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. K. Gospodarowicz, P. Hermanek, and D. E. Henson Attention to innovations in cancer treatment has tended to eclipse the importance of prognostic assessment. However, the recognition that prognostic factors often have a greater impact on outcome than available therapies and the proliferation of biochemical, molecular, and genetic markers have resulted in renewed interest in this field. The outcome in patients with cancer is determined by a combination of numerous factors. Presently, the most widely recognized are the extent of disease, histologic type of tumor, and treatment. It has been known for some time that additional factors also influence outcome. These include histologic grade, lymphatic or vascular invasion, mitotic index, performance status, symptoms, and most recently genetic and biochemical markers. It is the aim of this volume to compile those prognostic factors that have emerged as important determinants of outcome for tumors at various sites. This compilation represents the first phase of a more extensive process to integrate all prognostic factors in cancer to further enhance the prediction of outcome following treatment. Certain issues surround ing the assessment and reporting of prognostic factors are also considered. Importance of Prognostic Factors Prognostic factors in cancer often have an immense influence on outcome, while treatment often has a much weaker effect. For example, the influence of the presence of lymph node involvement on survival of patients with metastatic breast cancer is much greater than the effect of adjuvant treatment with tamoxifen in the same group of patients [5].

Download or read book Biomarkers in Breast Cancer written by Giampietro Gasparini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-17 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert laboratory and clinical researchers from around the world review how to design and evaluate studies of tumor markers and examine their use in breast cancer patients. The authors cover both the major advances in sophisticated molecular methods and the state-of-the-art in conventional prognostic and predictive indicators. Among the topics discussed are the relevance of rigorous study design and guidelines for the validation studies of new biomarkers, gene expression profiling by tissue microarrays, adjuvant systemic therapy, and the use of estrogen, progesterone, and epidermal growth factor receptors as both prognostic and predictive indicators. Highlights include the evaluation of HER2 and EGFR family members, of p53, and of UPA/PAI-1; the detection of rare cells in blood and marrow; and the detection and analysis of soluble, circulating markers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are more than 1.15 million cases of breast cancer diagnosed worldwide annually. At present, only small numbers of accurate prognostic and predictive factors are used clinically for managing the patients with breast cancer. Early detection of this fatal disease is very important which helps in decreasing the morality rate and increasing the survival period of breast cancer patients. The project uses Mammography which is the main test used for screening and early diagnosis, and its analysis and processing are the keys to improving breast cancer prognosis. To detect breast cancer in mammogram, image segmentation is performed with the help of Fuzzy C-means (FCM) technique. Further those segmented regions features are extracted, and it is trained completely, finally trained images are classified by the efficient classifier of different classes in mammogram. Texture features are extracted using a feature extraction technique like Multi-level Discrete Wavelet Transform, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Morphological operators are used to distinguish masses and micro calcifications from the background tissue and KNN algorithm is used for classification. The boundaries of tumor affected region in mammogram are marked and displayed to the doctor, along with area of tumor.
