Pre-clinical Orthotopic Murine Model of Human Prostate Cancer
Published on: August 29, 2016
Abstract:
This study updates the experience at our hospital with cancer of the penis, which now includes 122 consecutive cases seen between 1940 and 1974 with 100 per cent followup. Historical, clinical, pathological, therapeutic and followup data were extracted for all cases in a digital code for transfer to computer storage. Life tables giving cumulative survival rates through 10 years with standard deviations and age corrections were calculated for each variable. The data were tabulated for publication to emphasize the prognostic significance of individual variables for the purpose of prospective research planning. The data were then evaluated regarding indications for prophylactic inguinal lymph node dissections, if any.
