Aims: Factors influencing prognosis and long-term outcome of thyroid cancer have been described by several groups. We wished to asses the previously described prognostic factors in a moderately iodine deficient region in Hungary.
Methods: Four hundred and fifty-four out of 492 patients who had surgery for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC, 386 cases) and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC, 106 cases) between 1971 and 1998 were analyzed.
Background: A retrospective study was performed to measure the prognostic value of DNA ploidy status and proliferative index (PI) for survival in patients with rectal cancer.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-two patients underwent curative surgery for rectal carcinoma. Ten tumors were in Stage I, 25 cancers were in Stage II, and 17 of them were in Stage III.
