Anemia, hematinic deficiencies, hyperhomocysteinemia, and serum gastric parietal cell antibody positivity in oral lichen planus patients with macrocytosis [PDF]
Background/purpose: Macrocytosis is defined as having the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) ≥ 100 fL. This study evaluated whether 36 oral lichen planus (OLP) patients with macrocytosis (macrocytosis/OLP patients) had significantly higher frequencies of ...

Could macrocytosis predict survival In advanced breast cancer patients that were treated with CDK 4–6 inhibitors? [PDF]
Introduction: Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK) 4–6 inhibitors are the recommended first-line treatment option for hormone-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). They show their effects by causing cell cycle arrest in G1-S phase.

Factors related to mean corpuscular volume in HFE p.C282Y homozygotes [PDF]
Introduction The aim of this study was to define the relationships between factors other than transferrin saturation (TS) to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and macrocytosis (MCV > 100 fL) in HFE p.C282Y (rs1800562) homozygotes.
