Example sentences for: disease-free
How can you use “disease-free” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Significant reductions in total dose and dose intensity have an adverse effect on disease-free survival and overall survival [ 9 10 ] . Because most dose delays and reductions occur after a neutropenic complication or febrile neutropenia, patients might experience an infectious episode and might need to contend with the burden and anxiety associated with a hospitalization and the risk of prolonged complications in treatment.
AGCN = average gene copy number; CART = Classification and Regression Trees; CMF = cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil; DFS = disease-free survival; NNBC = node-negative breast cancer; FEC = fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide; OS = overall survival; PCR = poly-merase chain reaction.
A most significant finding was that overall promoter hypermethylation is associated with the progression and predicts significantly poor disease-free survival.
Thus, hERα provides a useful prognostic index in patients with metastatic disease and is associated with disease-free survival [ 7 8 9 10 ] . However, 35% of all patients with hERα positive (ER+) tumors do not respond to hormonal interventions suggesting cellular and molecular alterations [ 6 11 12 ] .
We have previously shown that nmt55/p54 nrbprotein was expressed in most ER+/PR+ human breast tumors but was undetectable in ER-/PR- human breast tumors [ 13 ] . Since loss of hERα expression is associated with poor prognosis and continued expression of hERα is associated with disease-free survival and correlates well with tumor differentiation state, we wanted to investigate the regulation of nmt55/p54 nrbexpression.
