TL;DR: Microvessel density in the area of the most intense neovascularization in invasive breast carcinoma is an independent and highly significant prognostic indicator for overall and relapse-free survival in patients with early-stage breast carcinom (I or II by International Union Against Cancer criteria).

TL;DR: Although quality of life was similar across the three treatment arms, the combination treatment was more toxic than the two drugs given singly and not more effective than single-agent vinorelbine or gemcitabine in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

TL;DR: Levels of VEGF in tumor tissue samples are found to be prognostic for both relapse-free and overall survival in univariate and multivariate analyses, and all four P values < .001 were found.

TL;DR: Nadroparin reduces the incidence of thromboembolic events in ambulatory patients with metastatic or locally advanced cancer who are receiving chemotherapy, and future studies should focus on patients who are at a high risk for thrombolic events.
