The Prognostic Significance of Preoperative Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels in Colorectal Cancer: Results from NSABP Clinical Trials
Norman Wolmark,Bernard Fisher,Harry S. Wieand,R S Henry,Harvey J. Lerner,S Legault-Poisson,Peter J. Deckers,N Dimitrov,P H Gordon,P Jochimsen +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the prognostic significance of preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in patients with colorectal cancer and found that preoperative CEA level correlated with the degree of lumen encirclement by tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathologic findings from the national surgical adjuvant breast project (protocol no. 4). I. Observations concerning the multicentricity of mammary cancer
Edwin R. Fisher,Remigio M. Gregorio,Carol K. Redmond,Frank Vellios,Sheldon C. Sommers,Bernard Fisher +5 more
TL;DR: An attempt to correlate the occurrence of multicentric cancers with a large number of pathologic and some clinical features disclosed a statistically significant association between multicentricity and grossly nonencapsulated dominant cancers with maximum diameters greater than 5 cm, the presence of a moderate or marked intraductal component and noninvasive cancer in its vicinity, and tumor involvement of the nipple.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of estrogen receptor and pathologic characteristics of invasive breast cancer.
TL;DR: Multivariate analyses disclosed that both age and tumor differentiation are associated with the ER status, and considered a possible explanation for the dichotomy of response to adjuvant chemotherapy observed in pre and postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Evidence in Support of the Dormant Tumor Cell
Bernard Fisher,Edwin R. Fisher +1 more
TL;DR: If rats were subjected to repeated laparotomy and liver examination at 7-day intervals 3 months after injection, 100 percent had a tumor within a few weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prognostic significance of tumor location and bowel obstruction in Dukes B and C colorectal cancer. Findings from the NSABP clinical trials.
Norman Wolmark,Harry S. Wieand,Howard E. Rockette,Bernard Fisher,Andrew G. Glass,Walter Lawrence,Harvey J. Lerner,Anatolio B. Cruz,Herbert Volk,Henry Shibata,James Evans,David Prager +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the definition of prognostic factors can identify patient subsets with unique characteristics and underscored the role of tumor location and obstruction as prognostic discriminants.
