question:
Question: Is visceral pleural invasion a significant prognostic factor in patients with a part-solid lung cancer?
Answer: VPI may not contribute to the prognosis of patients with part-solid nodules. Thus, upgrading of the TNM stage on the basis of VPI should be carefully considered in these patients.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Is preoperative prolonged steroid use associated with intraoperative blood transfusion in noncardiac surgical patients?
Answer: The effect of prolonged steroid use on bleeding, if any, thus seems likely to be small and is probably of limited clinical consequence. In contrast, corticosteroid use augments the risk of both systemic and wound infections.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Do iFNL3 polymorphisms predict response to therapy in chronic hepatitis C genotype 2/3 infection?
Answer: This adequately powered study in patients with HCV genotypes 2 or 3 infection clearly demonstrates that IFNL3 genotypes are the strongest baseline predictor of SVR, in keeping with the known association for genotype 1 infection. IFNL3 genotyping can aid in therapeutic decision making for these patients.
answer:

yes
