Background: Health insurance has been shown to be a key determinant in cancer care, but it is unknown as what extent status affects treatments provided papillary thyroid (PTC) patients. We hypothesized that insured patients with PTC would have lower-risk tumors at diagnosis and more likely receive adjuvant therapies follow-up. Methods: The American College of Surgeons' National Cancer Database was queried identify all diagnosed PTCs >2 mm size from 2004 2015. Patients were grouped according...
Objective: To quantify the contribution of key steps in antireflux surgery on compliance EGJ. Background: The lower esophageal sphincter and crural diaphragm constitute intrinsic extrinsic sphincters EGJ, respectively. Interventions to treat reflux attempt restore integrity However, there are limited data relative critical during procedures functional Methods: Primary was performed 100 consecutive patients with pathologic reflux. Intraoperative EGJ measurements including distensibility index...
Abstract A subset of thyroid cancers, recurrent differentiated cancers and anaplastic cancer (ATC), are difficult to treat by thyroidectomy systemic therapy. common mutation in cancer, BRAFV600E, has targetable treatment options; however, the results have been disappointing compared with BRAFV600E melanoma, as quickly become resistant inhibitor (BRAFi). Here, we studied molecular pathway that is induced cells patient-derived tumor samples response BRAFi, vemurafenib, using RNA-sequencing...
We aimed to clarify whether aggressive histology of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) impacts overall survival (OS).Aggressive variants PTC (AVPTC) are associated with invasive features. However, their behavior in the absence these features is not well characterized.Patients treated from 2004 2015 for classic (cPTC) or AVPTCs were identified National Cancer Database. Patients further stratified based on presence at least 1 feature-extrathyroidal extension, multifocality, lymphovascular...
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are malignancies arising from the islets of Langerhans. Therapeutic options limited for over 50% patients who present with metastatic disease. We aimed to identify mechanisms remodel PNET tumor microenvironment (TME) ultimately enhance susceptibility immunotherapy. The TMEs localized and PNETs were investigated using an approach that combines RNA-Seq, cancer T cell profiling, pharmacologic perturbations. RNA-Seq analysis indicated primary showed...
Adrenal venous sampling is recommended prior to adrenalectomy for all patients with hyperaldosteronism; however, cross-sectional imaging resolution continues improve, while the procedure remains invasive and technically difficult. Therefore, certain may benefit from advancing straight surgery.To determine whether clinical biochemical varied primary aldosteronism unilateral adenomas who underwent adrenal vs those proceeded surgery based on alone.Retrospective, international cohort study of...
