Analysis of the mRNA Expression Levels of Thymidylate Synthase (TS), Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPD) and Orotate Phosphoribosyl Transferase (OPRT) in Liver Metastases from Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

These results suggest that the mRNA expression level of TS in the liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients is a useful prognostic indicator.

External Validation of Two Nomograms for Predicting Patient Survival After Hepatic Resection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

“…The clinical risk score (CRS) proposed by Fong et al [4] is widely known, and it has been validated using other independent databases [8][9][10]. In Japan, the grading system developed by the Japanese Research Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum-the Japanese grading system (JGS) [11]-is most widely used.…”
