Prediction of prostate cancer progression by analysis of selected predictive parameters
Abstract
A method for screening individuals at risk for prostate cancer progression is disclosed. The method is useful for evaluating cells from patients at risk for recurrence of prostate cancer following surgery for prostate cancer. Specifically, the method uses specific Markovian nuclear texture factors, alone or in combination with other biomarkers, to determine whether the cancer [...]
Brassieres for reducing breast cancer
