Does body mass index "dilute" the predictive property of prostate-specific antigen for tumor volume at radical prostatectomy?
Our results have shown that the predictive ability of the PSA level for tumor volume is not affected by the BMI. There does not appear to be a need to correct the serum PSA level in relation to the BMI when used in preoperative prediction models of the tumor volume.
In general, among the evaluated language tasks, object naming is the most discriminative task to detect language-positive regions via rTMS. However, other tasks might be used for more specific questions.
