Thermal ablation using radiofrequency is a new, minimally invasive modality employed as an alternative to surgery in patients with benign thyroid nodules and recurrent cancers.The Task Force Committee of the Korean Society Thyroid Radiology (KSThR) developed recommendations for optimal use tumors 2012.As new meaningful evidences have accumulated, KSThR decided revise guidelines.The revised guideline based on comprehensive analysis current literature expert consensus.
Purpose: To determine retrospectively whether unenhanced computed tomographic (CT) images of the brain have added value in distinguishing tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) from primary glioma or central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, compared with conventional contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) only. Materials and Methods: This study was approved by institutional review board, informed consent waived. Unenhanced CT MR 15 patients TDLs (seven women, eight men; mean age,...
The purpose of this study was to compare the sonographic features as well results fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTCs) and conventional (PTCs).Forty patients with 44 FVPTCs 59 74 PTCs were enrolled in study. features, gradings, FNAB compared between two groups.The mean nodule size larger than that (17.70 versus 10.53 mm; P < .001).

Ultrasonography (renamed from the Journal of Korean Society Ultrasound in Medicine January 2014), official English-language journal (KSUM), is an international peer-reviewed academic dedicated to practice, research, technology, and education dealing with medical ultrasound, Aims Scope:Ultrasonography ultrasound.It published four times per year: 1, April July October 1. Original articles, topical reviews, pictorial essays, notable case reports are covering state-of-the-art content. also...
In the Republic of Korea, only lenalidomide, bortezomib, ixazomib, and thalidomide monotherapy are available as maintenance therapy post-autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). To determine whether confers a survival benefit in real world, we compared treatment outcomes according to use type patients who underwent ASCT following frontline with triplet regimen thalidomide, dexamethasone for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma 15 nationwide centers. A total 512 were analyzed (no-maintenance...
The fifth edition of the WHO classification (2022 WHO) and International Consensus Classification ICC) myeloid neoplasms have been recently published. We reviewed changes in diagnosis distribution patients with MDS excess blasts (MDS-EB) or AML using both classifications. Forty-seven previously diagnosed as having MDS-EB available mutation analysis data, including targeted next-generation RNA-sequencing were included. reclassified 15 (31.9%) 27 (57.4%) based on 2022 ICC, respectively. One...
Background/Aims: Optimal risk stratification based on simplified geriatric assessment to predict treatment-related toxicity and survival needs be clarified in older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study enrolled newly diagnosed DLBCL (≥ 65 yr) between September 2015 April 2018. A was performed at baseline using Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental ADL (IADL), Charlson’s Comorbidity Index (CCI). The primary endpoint...
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-beta superfamily and it has been demonstrated that BMPs enhance migration, invasion metastasis. The purpose this study was to identify association between serum BMP-2 level progression status gastric cancer.Fifty-five patients with metastatic cancer (metastatic disease group), six early without lymph node metastasis (the EGC ten healthy control subjects were enrolled in study. quantified by use a commercially available ELISA kit. In...
Background/Aims The aims of this study were to identify the value inflammatory markers as pretreatment prognostic factors for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and estimate a index including these at diagnosis. Methods A total 273 newly diagnosed MM undergoing active treatment analyzed in study. values survival investigated. (MPI) was derived using determined be independently significant on multivariate analysis. Results high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), low platelet count,...
Exosomes, derived from chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) cells, can be used as biomarkers and new targets for the detection of BCR-ABL transcript. This study aimed to identify these possibilities.Human CML cell line-derived exosomes CML-patients-derived were isolated with a size-exclusion chromatography column ExoQuick™ exosome precipitation solution, respectively. Isolated analysed by nested PCR detect transcript.Exosomes two human lines yielded 250-bp band. RNA sequence analysis revealed...
Introduction Despite the current effective treatments for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), early mortality (EM), defined as death within 30 days of presentation, is a major hurdle to long-term survival. Methods We performed multicenter retrospective study evaluate incidence and clinical characteristics EM in patients with newly diagnosed APL develop risk stratification model predict EM. Results identified 313 eligible between 2000 2021 from five academic hospitals. The median age was 50...
This study investigated the prognostic effects of venous thromboembolism (VTE)-related factors in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer receiving palliative chemotherapy. Predictive for VTE were also investigated.A total 216 diagnosed who received gemcitabine-based chemotherapy at our institution retrospectively evaluated.VTE occurred 51 (23.6%) during treatment and did not affect survival. However, beginning showed poor prognosis compared chemotherapy: all (hazard ratio [HR] 1.897, p =...
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets B-lymphocytes, and it widely used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, its use has been implicated in HBV reactivation that's related with the immunosuppressive effects of rituximab. Although majority reactivations occur hepatitis B carriers, few cases have reported HBsAg negative patients. an negative/HBsAb positive patient after rituximab treatment never Korea. We present here HBsAg-negative/HBsAb-positive 66-year-old female who...

Background/Aims Patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) generally have poor clinical outcomes. Early determination of their prognosis is crucial for developing a therapeutic strategy. Recently, various inflammatory markers been validated as prognostic indicators many cancers, including PC. However, few studies evaluated these together. Thus, the purpose this study was to comprehensively evaluate value in patients advanced PC treated gemcitabine-based chemotherapy first line regimen. Methods...
Background: The outcome of patients with central nervous system (CNS) relapse in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is poor, a median survival only 2 to 7 months. Intrathecal methotrexate (ITMTX) has traditionally been used, although its efficacy for CNS prophylaxis contradictory. High-dose intravenous (IVMTX) suggested as an alternative approach. Aims: aim this randomized study was compare the ITMTX and IVMTX subgroup DLBCL at high risk relapse. Methods: This prospective, open-label,...
We present a rare case of focal intrahepatic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) that mimicked hypervascular hepatic neoplasm in 33-year-old woman with idiopathic myelofibrosis. The lesion showed homogeneous and persistent enhancement on both contrast-enhanced CT gadolinium-enhanced dynamic MR imaging. did not demonstrate an apparent signal drop T2-weighted sequence following administration superparamagnetic iron-oxide agent (SHU 555A). A hepatocellular adenoma was the initial radiological...
