prognosis

But I welcome the prognosis and look forward to my days as a 37 year old still pwning young noobs in Dota2/League/CoD/2K.

In many cases, the disease progresses and the prognosis worsens.

It's not a choice, it's a disease, and the prognosis is generally shitty.

A coworker's sister was diagnosed with lung cancer and told the prognosis was grim.

The CEA is useful for prognosis, staging and follow up.\nIt is useless for diagnosis.

If you're talking about the economic prognosis of art, I'd like to direct you to the world of high-end sports cars.

With early enough treatment, the prognosis for this type of cancer is much better than other types of pancreatic cancer.

If the cancer relapses it can be resistant to chemotherapy I've been exposed to before, which makes the prognosis a lot worse.

While pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas have a dismal prognosis, most neuroendocrine tumors have a good survivability index.

Having a dad that works on cancer vaccines I can tell you that for certain cancers in the next decade the treatment will be as easy as a shot in the arm every week and the prognosis will be much better than the "literal" clubbing of people half to death with inaccurate drugs and chemotherapy.

I swore myself that if I ever have a terminal illness with a bad prognosis, I would rather kill myself before it's too late, instead of risking ending up in a situation where I can't; where I beg medical staff to kill me and they have to say "sorry, but I'm just doing my job".Yes, dementia is tricky, and so is suicide in general.

Would Amit and thousands of others in his position be resorting to begging for access to life-saving treatments, or being put on waiting lists that are far too long relative to their prognosis?My guess is no, with the exception of people too poor to afford access to such materials - which are already so cost prohibitive that this is already a problem.

Sometimes the most information can be gained by withholding drug, and isolating another treatment's impact but if you are a patient with a terminal prognosis, or the doctor trying to treat that patient, are you going to choose not to take something that might help you?This is a point of frustration for many in research fields because it means clinical data is hugely noisy.

As if thats not bad enough, it would appear that tumors are a mosaic of groups of many different tumor cell types that develop through branching evolution such that metastases can be very different from the primary tumor and even different regions of the primary tumor can be very different from each other, so much so that finding a favorable prognosis signature on a core biopsy means only that that one area biopsied has that gene signature.
