Correction to: The natural course of pT2 prostate cancer with positive surgical margin: predicting biochemical recurrence.

In multivariate analysis, GS of the regular prostatectomy specimen was the only statistically significant parameter for pT2R1 prostate cancer.

Risk and timing of biochemical recurrence in pT3aN0/Nx prostate cancer with positive surgical margin - A multicenter study.

Background And Purpose: Positive surgical margins (PSM) after radical prostatectomy have been shown to be associated with impaired outcome. In pT3pN0 patients with PSM either immediate radiotherapy or clinical and biological monitoring followed by salvage radiotherapy is recommended by the latest guidelines of the European Association of Urology.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study of eight urological centers was conducted on 536 prostatectomy patients with pT3aN0/NxR1 tumors and no neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy.

The natural course of pT2 prostate cancer with positive surgical margin: predicting biochemical recurrence.

Purpose: To predict biochemical recurrence respecting the natural course of pT2 prostate cancer with positive surgical margin (R1) and no adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: A multicenter data analysis of 956 patients with pT2R1N0/Nx tumors was performed. Patients underwent radical prostatectomy between 1994 and 2009.

X-ray phase-contrast tomography of renal ischemia-reperfusion damage.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate microstructural changes occurring in unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in a murine animal model using synchrotron radiation.

Material And Methods: The effects of renal ischemia-reperfusion were investigated in a murine animal model of unilateral ischemia. Kidney samples were harvested on day 18.

[A 52-year-old patient with positive troponin, iron deficiency anemia and known sarcoidosis].

We report on a 52-year-old female patient with recurrent neurosarcoidosis and an "atypical" course of celiac disease, with mild clinic features, positive IgA-antibodies and histology. In our patient, the IgA-antibodies led to a false positive troponin I test, and we initially suspected an acute coronary syndrome. With dietary treatment of the celiac disease, the antibodies decreased and the troponin I test became negative.

HNPCC-associated small bowel cancer: clinical and molecular characteristics.

Background & Aims: The risk for small bowel cancer (SBC) is significantly increased in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). HNPCC-associated SBCs are poorly characterized.

Methods: Thirty-two SBCs were characterized according to clinical, pathologic, and germline mutation data.
