Can We Identify Patients in Danger of Delayed Treatment? Management of COVID-19 Pandemic Backlog in Urology Care in Poland.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a tremendous impact on healthcare systems around the world.

The National Health Found statistics (NHF) database was searched for information on procedures completed in urology departments from 2015 to 2020.

Patterns of p73 N-terminal isoform expression and p53 status have prognostic value in gynecological cancers.

The goal of this study was to determine whether patterns of expression profiles of p73 isoforms and of p53 mutational status are useful combinatorial biomarkers for predicting outcome in a gynecological cancer cohort. This is the first such study using matched tumor/normal tissue pairs from each patient. The median follow-up was over two years.
