Randomized, controlled surgical trial of preoperative tumor curettage of basal cell carcinoma in Mohs micrographic surgery

Conway C. Huang, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of preoperative tumor curettage in Mohs micrographic surgery for primary or recurrent, well-defined basal cell carcinoma less than 2 cm in diameter located on the head or neck was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Markers of Inflammation and Fat Distribution Following Weight Loss in African‐American and White Women

Gordon Fisher, +5 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: All MOI decreasedFollowing weight loss among W, whereas only IL‐6 and CRP decreased following weight loss in AA, and the most distinct phenotypic difference observed was a greater impact of weight loss on TNF‐α in W compared to AA, which was directly associated with IAAT in W.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility outcomes of a presurgical randomized controlled trial exploring the impact of caloric restriction and increased physical activity versus a wait-list control on tumor characteristics and circulating biomarkers in men electing prostatectomy for prostate cancer

Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, +13 more
- 05 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: A randomized controlled trial among 40 overweight or obese, newly-diagnosed prostate cancer patients who elected prostatectomy to explore feasibility of a presurgical weight loss intervention that promoted a weight loss of roughly one kg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional and Survival Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Glossectomy Compared with Total Laryngoglossectomy

Catherine F. Sinclair, +3 more
- 13 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: Patients undergoing TGL had similar functional and survival outcomes to patients undergoing TG alone despite the presence of more locally advanced disease with greater adverse pathological features, which could explain why TGL in patients with advanced tongue SCC may improve local disease control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary stearate reduces human breast cancer metastasis burden in athymic nude mice.

Lynda M. Evans, +5 more
- 08 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that exogenously supplied dietary stearate dramatically reduces the size of tumors that formed from injected human breast cancer cells within the mammary fat pads of athymic nude mice by approximately 50% and partially inhibits breast cancer cell metastasis burden in the lungs in this mouse model system is presented.
