Transthyretin amyloidosis is a systemic disorder caused by amyloid deposits formed misfolded transthyretin monomers. Two main forms exist: hereditary and wild-type amyloidosis, the former associated with gene mutations. There are several disease manifestations; however, gastrointestinal complications common in form. The aim of this study was to explore prevalence distribution manifestations evaluate their impact on patients' nutritional status health-related quality life (HRQoL). Amyloidosis...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Sunitinib at 50 mg/day on the 4‐weeks‐on‐2‐weeks‐off schedule is current approved regimen for advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
