Genome-Wide Association Study of Prostate Cancer–Specific Survival [PDF]
Abstract Background: Unnecessary intervention and overtreatment of indolent disease are common challenges in clinical management of prostate cancer. Improved tools to distinguish lethal from indolent disease are critical. Methods: We performed a genome-wide survival analysis of cause-specific death in 24,023 prostate

Common germline polymorphisms associated with breast cancer-specific survival [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Previous studies have identified common germline variants nominally associated with breast cancer survival. These associations have not been widely replicated in further studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of previously reported SNPs with breast cancer ...

Nomograms predicting the overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer [PDF]
Abstract Background To explore the factors that affect the prognosis of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with stage IIIC1 cervical cancer and establish nomogram models to predict this prognosis ...

Cancer‐Specific beliefs and survival in nonmetastatic colorectal cancer patients [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUND:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States. Associations between cancer‐specific beliefs (beliefs) and survival have been observed among other cancer populations, but similar research in CRC patients is virtually nonexistent, especially in racially diverse populations. The relationship

Development and Validation of the Nomograms for Predicting Overall Survival and Cancer-Specific Survival in Patients With Synovial Sarcoma [PDF]
BackgroundThe study aimed to build and validate practical nomograms to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) for patients with synovial sarcoma (SyS).MethodsA total of 893 eligible patients confirmed to have SyS between 2007 and 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

Breast density and breast cancer-specific survival by detection mode [PDF]
Breast density is known to affect breast cancer risk and screening sensitivity, but it may also be associated with breast cancer survival. The interpretation of results from previous studies on breast density and survival is complicated by the association between detection mode and survival.

Cancer specific survival in patients with sickle cell disease
SummarySickle cell disease (SCD) patients have a higher incidence of certain cancers, but no studies have determined the impact of cancer on survival among SCD patients. SCD patients (n = 6423), identified from state‐wide hospitalisation data, were linked to the California Cancer Registry (1988–2014).

Age has a U-shaped relationship with breast cancer outcomes in women: a cohort study
Background and ObjectivesAge is a significant determinant of susceptibility to breast cancer. Currently, the available evidence regarding the non-linear correlation between the age of diagnosis and the prognosis of breast cancer patients is contradictory.

Prognostic nomograms to predict overall survival and cancer‐specific survival in patients with pelvic chondrosarcoma [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe pelvis is the most common site of chondrosarcoma (CS), and the prognosis for patients with pelvic CS is worse than that for patients with CS in the extremities. However, clinicians have had few tools for estimating the likelihood of survival in patients with pelvic CS.
