Methods included 338 consecutive underwent surgery and/or radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy for treatment‐naïve HNSCC. Body weight parameters were regularly measured before after...
Gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED) can be morphologically categorized into adenomatous and foveolar types. To date, there have been few studies on the clinical characteristics of GEDs according to morphologic Therefore, we here aimed elucidate clinicopathologic patients with GED long-term follow-up results after endoscopic resection GEDs.A total 357 who underwent for at Pusan National University Hospital between January 2008 December 2009 were included in study. adenomatous, foveolar, hybrid...

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4RD) is a relatively recently recognized entity that histopathologically characterized by an extensive infiltration of lymphocytes and IgG4-positive plasma cells with dense fibrosis. IgG4RD now known to affect any organ system, few cases gastrointestinal lesions have also been reported. However, solitary the stomach still very rare. Furthermore, as it can mimic malignant conditions, important recognize this avoid unnecessary surgery. Herein, we...
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Severe-to-profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) has a poor prognosis. We aimed to compare the efficacy of simultaneous and sequential oral intratympanic steroids for this condition. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Fifty patients with severe-to-profound SSNHL (>70 dB HL) were included from 7 centers. The group (27 patients) received steroid injections 2 weeks. (23 was treated weeks subsequent Pure-tone averages...
Analgesics, known to be hepatotoxic drugs, are frequently prescribed patients with liver cirrhosis who prone drug-induced injury. No guidelines available regarding the prescription of analgesics in these patients. Therefore, we aimed evaluate pattern most used cirrhosis. We assessed acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) registered Health Insurance Review Assessment Service database between January 1, 2012 December 31, 2012. A total 125,505 were from Of that group,...
Trends and Patterns of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment in KoreaMultiple therapeutic modalities are available for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment.We aimed to evaluate the trends HCC treatment Korea.Recent patterns were assessed patients who first registered Health Insurance Review Assessment Service between 2008 2012.From 2009 2012, 57,690 diagnosed with HCC.Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was most common modality initial treatment.Curative like hepatic resection,...
The bone is a common site for metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, marrow from HCC rarely reported, and its frequency unclear. Here we report rare case of that presented as bicytopenia originating without metastasis. A 58-year-old man was admitted investigation liver mass with extensive lymph node enlargement detected when examining his general weakness weight loss. Laboratory findings revealed anemia, thrombocytopenia, mild elevated enzymes, normal prothrombin time...

With an increasing number of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing liver transplantation (LT), tumor recurrence remains the main limiting factor for long-term survival. Although sorafenib is available advanced HCC, there still a lack data on use treatment recurrent HCC after LT. Here, we report four cases The median time from LT was 4 months (range, 1–16 months). Two evaluated showed stable disease, which best response and duration stabilization 11 5 months, respectively....
