TL;DR: A genome-wide expression analysis of human prostate cancer during androgen ablation therapy to identify genes regulated by androgen and genes differentially expressed after the development of resistance suggested that resistant tumors have increased sensitivity to and endogenous synthesis of androgenic hormones.

TL;DR: A strong correlation between high proliferation rates in metastatic cancers and overexpression of genes that participate in cell cycle regulation, DNA replication, and DNA repair and other functional categories of differentially expressed genes included transcriptional regulation, signaling, signal transduction, cell structure, and motility.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the presence of drains failed to reduce either the need for interventional radiologic drainage or surgical exploration for intraabdominal sepsis, and closed suction drainage should not be considered mandatory or standard after pancreatic resection.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients undergoing routine follow-up testing to detect recurrent thyroid carcinoma over a 2-yr period concludes that preparing patients by rhTSH is diagnostically equivalent to preparing them by THW.

TL;DR: Treatment of low-risk endometrial cancer by LAVH is associated with a significantly higher incidence of positive peritoneal cytology, which may be due to the retrograde dissemination of cancer cells into theperitoneal cavity during uterine manipulation.
