Does cellular proliferative fraction of metastatic lymph nodes predict survival in stage D1 ( TxN+M0 ) prostate cancer?
Cellular proliferative fraction of lymphatic metastases is useful to predict survival in patients with stage D1 prostatic carcinoma. Proliferative fraction may be useful as a marker of progression among patients with other stages of disease.
In this single-centre retrospective cohort study, infusion of low molecular weight 6% HES 130/0.4 during and after renal transplantation was found to have no significant negative effect upon the rate of DGF.
