A totally implanted venous and arterial access system was tested in 30 cancer patients. The
device, an injection port (Infuse-A-Port, Infusaid Corp., Sharon, Mass.), consisted of a 3.5 by …

The maturing of clinical oncology into a true multidisciplinary enterprise has created a need
for multidisciplinary oncology textbooks. Although there exist a number of such volumes …

Background. The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) of the Commission on Cancer gathers
data on time trends in stage of disease, treatment patterns, and survival for selected cancers…

De novo mutations (DNMs) originating in gametogenesis are an important source of genetic
variation. We use a data set of 7,216 autosomal DNMs with resolved parent of origin from …

Germline mutations are the source of evolution and contribute substantially to many health-related
processes. Here we use whole-genome deep sequencing data from 693 parents–…

Practical and clinically focused, Abeloff’s Clinical Oncology is a trusted medical reference
book designed to capture the latest scientific discoveries and their implications for cancer …

Studies of long-lived individuals have revealed few genetic mechanisms for protection
against age-associated disease. Therefore, we pursued genome sequencing of a related …

Subcutaneous infusion ports (SIP) were inserted for chronic venous access during 329
procedures in 300 patients over the past five years at the University of Michigan Medical Center, …
