Is survivin downregulation associated with vasectomy-induced spermatogenic damage and apoptosis?
These findings demonstrate that vasectomy-induced damage to spermatogenesis due to testicular apoptosis may be associated with survivin downregulation and Bax overexpression.
Solitary involvement of ILNs might represent a distinct subset of patients with metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma who have a more favourable prognosis. If confirmed by larger studies, our data suggest that alternate management algorithms might be reasonable for such patients.
