Prognostic factors in elderly women with metastatic breast cancer treated with tamoxifen: an analysis of patients entered on four prospective clinical trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with superficial (mucosal or submucosal) esophageal carcinoma (SEC) have significantly better survival rates than patients with advanced carcinoma. Some patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma have been reported to test positive for serum p53 antibodies (Abs). Because very few patients with supe...
