Prognostic impact of mRNA levels of osteopontin splice variants in soft tissue sarcoma patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Axillary lymph node (ALN) status is an important prognostic factor for breast cancer. We retrospectively used contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) to evaluate the presence of ALN, metastasis based on size, shape, and contrasting effects. METHODS:Of 131 consecutive patients who underwent CE-CT follo...
