Does cyclin D1 expression predict postoperative distant metastasis and survival in resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma?
High level of cyclin D1 expression increased distant metastasis, decreased overall survival and distant metastasis-free survival in resectable ESCC. Using a combination of cyclin D1 expression, tumor cell differentiation grade, and tumor stages, identifying patients with increased risk of postoperative metastases becomes possible.
Surface area expansion with pericardial membrane (Preclude) in AGV implant surgery resulted in a statistically significantly lower rate of hypertension without causing any postoperative complications.
