Does volume-weighted mean nuclear volume predict tumor biology of clinically organ-confined prostate cancer?
The findings of the present study suggest that MNV is a powerful predictor of PSA failure for patients with clinically organ-confined disease treated with radical prostatectomy. More importantly, they suggest that MNV can be a useful new parameter for prediction of tumor biology for patients with PSA failure after radical prostatectomy.
Owing to the role of B-Myb and E2F1 transcription factors in controlling cell-cycle progression of leukemic cells, the downregulation of these oncogenes by miR-34a suggests the usefulness of therapeutic approaches aimed to modulate the levels of miR-34a.
