## BACKGROUND. When skeletal metastasis is the presenting problem and the primary site is occult, there is a need to identify the primary site as soon as possible. However, the search for the primary tumor is often time-consuming and difficult. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effica

## Background: Patterns of excess risk for second primary cancers (spc) in prostate cancer patients have been observed for urinary bladder, other sites in the urinary tract, and hematolymphopoietic tissues in several, but not all, previously reported cohort studies. ## Methods: The risk of spc wa
We studied second primary cancer among 25,947 patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC) in Sweden between 1958 and 1992. In total, 5,706 patients developed a second primary cancer at any site, compared with an expected number of 2,651 [standardized incidence ratio (SIR) β«Ψβ¬ 2
The KAI1 gene, isolated from human chromosome 11p11.2, has been implicated as a prostate cancer metastasis suppressor gene. Recent studies have demonstrated that the expression of KAI1 protein is reduced in metastases of human prostate cancers and is inversely correlated with tumour grade. The objec
