Growth factor expression and proliferation kinetics in periampullary neoplasms in familial adenomatous polyposis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to determine and compare the added prognostic value of screening tools, geriatric assessment (GA) components, and GA summaries to clinical information for overall survival (OS) in older patients with cancer. METHODS:A screening and a 10-item GA were systematically performed in pati...
