Are optimal cytoreduction , depth of myometrial invasion , and age independent prognostic factors for survival in women with uterine papillary serous and clear cell carcinomas?
Our study demonstrated that optimal cytoreduction, >50% MI, and age >67 years are the most significant factors affecting survival in women with UPSC and UCCC.
[Ca(2+)](i) transients are necessary for PDGF but not ECM protein-induced SMC chemotaxis. Moreover, the ability of PDGF to stimulate vascular SMC migration appears dependent on influx of extracellular calcium through membrane channels.
