Do serum albumin and prealbumin predict recurrence in patients with breast cancer?
Prealbumin and albumin may be sensitive indicators of disturbances in protein metabolism, and reflect inflammation activity and malnutrition. However, our results suggest that evaluation of serum prealbumin and albumin are not useful for predicting disease aggressiveness or recurrence in breast cancer.
We show a highly significant association between the A allele of rs10465885 and onset of lone AF before age 50. This opposes a previous study, wherein the G allele was found to be associated with AF, and makes it impossible to exclude that the associations are coincidental.
