Article Synopsis
- * The study examined how well DOR, both transformed by fungi and non-transformed, could absorb these harmful elements using various sorption experiments.
- * Results indicated that biotransformed DOR exhibited better absorption characteristics, particularly for lead, although the binding of these elements, especially zinc, was found to be weak and unstable, highlighting the need for further research on DOR's effectiveness in contaminated soils.
Background: The aim of this study was to measure the biological characteristics involved in tumorigenesis and the progression of breast cancer in symptomatic and screen-detected carcinomas to identify possible differences.
Methods: For this purpose, we evaluated clinical-pathological parameters and proliferative and apoptotic activities in a series of 130 symptomatic and 161 screen-detected tumors.
Results: After adjustment for the smaller size of the screen-detected carcinomas compared with symptomatic cancers, those detected in the screening program presented longer disease-free survival (RR = 0.
Introduction: This study evaluates clinical-pathological characteristics and survival rates associated with emergency admission and delays in diagnosis and treatment of 411 consecutive breast cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: Emergency admission and first symptom-first hospital visit delay were significantly associated with advanced tumor stages but only in the former case with short disease-free survival (RR 2.5, CI 95% 1.
