Is tumour volume an independent predictor of prostate-specific antigen recurrence in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer?
TV correlates directly with pathological stage in RP specimens; furthermore, it is independently correlated with PSA recurrence. TV has potential use for prognostication in patients undergoing RP, and may be combined with other well established clinical variables to aid in predicting outcomes.
We concluded that the participants in our study selected symptoms that result in discriminative descriptions of the seizure types. This indicates that knowledge elicitation by using the opinions of a group of clinical experts is possible. The study also indicates that the design of the study could be ameliorated in several ways. These findings will be taken into account when designing the final study.
