Background and Objectives Patients with metastatic RCC can undergo metastasectomy to improve survival time. Our goal was provide compare characteristics oncological outcomes of patients who underwent complete at a single organ site. Methods A total 138 were identified as undergoing site including adrenal, lung, liver, pancreas, or thyroid. Competing risk regression analysis used assess RFS CSS adjusting for several covariates. Results In this highly selected cohort, 27% 84% 5 years following...
Background: The rarity of optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONSMs) complicates the guidelines surrounding optimal treatment strategies and prognostic factors. There are limited data on visual outcomes those treated with radiotherapy versus observed without treatment. This study aimed to characterize clinical radiographic presentations patients diagnosed ONSMs identify factors predicting improvement in function after Methods: is a retrospective case series 26 who presented 2 tertiary...
Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) comprises 3–5% new cancer diagnoses in the USA. Diagnostic work up typically includes CT chest, abdomen and pelvis, histopathological review tissue specimens. These measures are neither sensitive nor specific determining origin (ToO) tumours and, therefore, unable to guide therapy. We present two cases CUP for which we utilised ultra-deep genomic sequencing identify candidate ToO propose treatment. Patient 1 presented with metastases involving lung, lymph...
Abstract Background Recognizing the optimal time to discontinue continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is necessary advance patient recovery and mitigate complications. The aim of this study was identify predictors successful CKRT cessation in pediatric patients. Methods All patients requiring between January 2010 March 2021 were evaluated. Patients on peritoneal or hemodialysis, who transferred institutions, did not trial off excluded. Successful discontinuation defined as remaining...

e16102 Background: Succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare histologic subtype characterized by loss of SDHB expression, key subunit succinate (SDH) in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Loss SDH also seen gastrointestinal stromal tumors and hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome. SDHB-deficient RCC typically indolent; however, it can develop into highly aggressive disease, pathogenesis pathophysiology remain poorly understood. Methods:...
Background: Delivering difficult news to patients and families is an essential but challenging component of clinical practice. Pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) fellows do not report being comfortable giving families. Objective: We sought implement evaluate a national program for training first year PCCM deliver news. Methods: The American Academy Pediatrics Resilience Curriculum (Part B) was used teach the SPIKES (Set-up, Perception, Invitation, Knowledge, Empathy, Summary) …
