Are aDAM33 gene polymorphisms associated with the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis?
ADAM33 rs628977G>A was marginally associated with a decreased risk of IPF in a recessive model.
Treatment delay between transurethral bladder tumor resection and radical cystectomy resulted in worse overall survival. The effect of wait time was greatest in lower stage lesions. The suggested maximum wait time from transurethral bladder tumor resection to cystectomy was 40 days. Further studies assessing disease-free survival are required to corroborate these findings.
