Is risk of concurrent prostate cancer in cystoprostatectomy specimens related to volume of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia?
Both the low rate of incidental prostate cancer in specimens with absent to focal HG-PIN and the high rate of cancer in specimens with multifocal or extensive HG-PIN suggest that HG-PIN is a marker for concurrent prostate cancer and that the risk of concurrent prostate cancer is related to the volume of HG-PIN in the prostate gland.
A higher proportion of academic otolaryngologists with prior AAO-HNSF CORE funding have received NIH funding relative to their non-CORE-funded peers, suggesting that the CORE program may be successful in its stated goals of preparing individuals for the NIH peer review process, although further prospective study is needed to evaluate a "cause and effect" relationship. Individuals with current or prior NIH K-grants had greater research productivity than those with CORE funding history. Both cohorts had higher scholarly impact values than previously published figures among academic otolaryngologists, highlighting that both CORE grants and NIH K-grants awards are effective career development resources.
