We investigate the survival distribution of the patients who have survived over a certain time
period. This is called a conditional survival distribution. In this paper, we show that one …

Risk factors of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) include tumor size, location, mitosis,
and tumor rupture. Although the first three are commonly recognized as independent …

Objective: To evaluate the changing impact of genetic and clinicopathologic factors on
conditional overall survival (CS) over time in patients with resectable colorectal liver …

Tumor rupture is an important risk factor predictive of recurrence after macroscopically
complete resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and an indication for defined …

Background The optimal time interval to define early recurrence (ER) among patients who
underwent resection of gallbladder cancer (GBC) is not well defined. We sought to develop …

Background In gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), rupture is a high-risk feature and an
indication for adjuvant treatment; however, the independent impact of rupture on prognosis …

Background Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is generally considered to have a
relatively poor prognosis. However, with years of follow-up, what is its real-time survival and …

Background According to guidelines, adjuvant treatment or re-excision should be
considered after R1 resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs). However, the …

Objective The optimal treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the rectum is
controversial due to the extremely low incidence of the disease. The aim of the present study …

Background: Due to adjuvant treatment concepts for patients with R0-resected
gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a reproducible and reliable risk classification system …
