Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 is a prognostic marker in colorectal carcinoma

TL;DR: Application of a novel risk score combining CEA/sICAM-1 serum concentrations allows the identification of high-risk groups for poor survival in CRC patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival after surgical treatment of cancer of the rectum.

TL;DR: Tumour-related prognostic factors have the greatest influence on clinical decisions with regard to choice of a therapeutic concept and postoperative long-term global quality of life is similar to the preoperative level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donor Site Morbidity of Patients Receiving Vertical Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous Flap for Perineal, Vaginal or Inguinal Reconstruction

TL;DR: The use of Vypro® mesh for donor site closure appears to be associated with a low postoperative incidence of complications and can therefore be recommended as a preferred technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFN-γ-driven intratumoral microenvironment exhibits superior prognostic effect compared with an IFN-α-driven microenvironment in patients with colon carcinoma.

TL;DR: A successful proof-of-principle approach that complex cytokine interaction networks can be dissected in human tissues is described and it is demonstrated that an IFN-γ-driven tumor microenvironment exhibits a superior prognostic effect compared with an IFn-α-driven tumors microenvironment in colon carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

P27 does not predict histopathological response to radiochemotherapy in rectal cancer

TL;DR: In this article, the predictive value of the cell-cycle inhibitor p27 kip1 with regard to neoadjuvant RCT response in rectal cancer was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in pretreatment biopsy material.
