Abstract

The 5-year survival rates after resection of pancreatic carcinoma have recently increased and are predicted by tumor size, DNA content, and lymph node metastases at the time of resection. However, whether the 10-year survival rates have also increased and are similarly predicted by these factors is not known. The influence of preoperative imaging tests, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, K-ras mutations, anatomic location, details of surgical resection, pathologic findings, and tumor DNA content on survival was tested for 96 patients after a successful resection of a pancreatic carcinoma with 17 patients being followed for more than 5 years. The 5- and 10-year patient survival rates were 18% and 3%, respectively. Univariate and multivariable analyses showed that tumor DNA content, pathologic tumor size, and lymph node metastases were the strongest prognostic indicators for long-term patient survival, although the importance of tumor size may diminish 2 or more years after resection. Surprisingly, the 11 patients with diploid carcinomas > or = 4 cm had an estimated 10-year survival rate of 36%. These results show that the 10-year survival rate for pancreatic carcinoma remains very low, although the subset of patients with b...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
