Does vascular endothelial growth factor immunostaining correlate with postoperative relapse and survival in non-small cell lung cancer?
Strong VEGF immunostaining in tumor tissues was found to be an important prognostic factor for time to relapse and survival in patients with early stage disease.
Postmenopausal women whose FRAX scores suggest major OPF risk have significantly more severe periodontitis endpoints than controls even though oral hygiene scores do not significantly differ. These findings suggest to clinicians treating women after menopause that referral to a periodontist for disease screening may be appropriate for those women with high fracture risk based on FRAX scores.
