Failure rates after first-line treatment of localized prostate cancer (PCa) treatment remain high. Improvements to patient selection and identification of at-risk patients are central to reducing mortality. We aimed to determine if cancer aggressiveness correlates with androgen levels in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localized PCa. ...

ETSI technical committee TISPAN currently funds the development of TTCN-3 network integration test suites using TTCN-3. Specialist task forces (STF) have already been initiated to implement and validate abstract test suites focusing on, e.g., SIP/ISUP and SIP/ISDN interworking units. In this paper, we report on our implementation approach and exper...
