Gastric cancer is the third most common cause of deaths worldwide. Despite evidence-based recommendation for treatment, current treatment patterns all stages gastric remain largely unexplored. This study investigates trends in treatments and survival cancer. The National Cancer Database was used to identify adenocarcinoma patients from 2004–2016. Chi-square tests were examine subgroup differences between disease stages: Stage I, II/III IV. Multivariate analyses identified factors associated...
BACKGROUND: There is debate regarding the utility of diverting loop ileostomy with IPAA construction in patients requiring colectomy for ulcerative colitis. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether omission at time increases risk complications. DESIGN: was a retrospective study. SETTINGS: The conducted high-volume, quaternary referral center an IBD program. PATIENTS: patients, who underwent or without ileostomy, were diagnosed MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anastomotic leak rate and pouch...
Objective To estimate the surgical burden of malignant disease in Eastern Region Ghana. Design Descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting Regional hospital eastern region Participants Patients treated by surgery department at Hospital Koforidua, Interventions None. Primary and secondary outcome measures was incidence malignancy descriptive differences between patients who had a benign indication for compared with those surgery. Results A total 1943 inpatient procedures were performed from...
Abstract Background Clinical and pathologic staging determine treatment of pancreatic cancer. stage has been shown to underestimate final in cancer, resulting upstaging. Methods National Cancer Database was used identify clinical I adenocarcinoma. Univariate, multivariable logistic regression, Cox proportional hazard ratio were differences between upstaged concordant patients. Results Upstaging seen 80.2% Factors found be significantly associated with upstaging included head tumors (OR...
Problem Demands placed on resident physicians can make it difficult to keep up with personal needs, often affecting well-being. For military pilots, confidential and nonpunitive human factors boards (HFBs) identify pilots’ (personal or professional problems that might interfere the ability perform effectively) recommendations for support. The authors sought determine feasibility of establishing an HFB its utility general surgery residents. Approach Publicly available information HFBs was...
Guidelines allow for the omission of radiotherapy in older women with early-stage, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, given that patients receive adequate endocrine therapy (ET). However, initiation ET and survival outcomes after forgoing radiation among these have not been well-studied.We identified aged 70 to 90 years old newly diagnosed 2010-2015 hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) negative (HR+/Her2-) cancer who received lumpectomy omitted using...
Abstract Purpose: Risk factors of Gallbladder Cancer (GBC) are not well-defined resulting in greater than 60% GBCs being diagnosed incidentally following cholecystectomy performed for presumed benign indications. As most localized GBC require more extensive oncologic surgery beyond cholecystectomy, this study aims to examine associated with found improve preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis. Methods : The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database...
