Abstract Background The optimal treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after the second line is still controversial. Regorafenib has been standard of care in this setting as it improved overall survival (OS) compared to placebo. In real-world practice chemotherapy rechallenge also a preferred option even though supporting evidence not enough. We aim compare efficacy regorafenib and 5-fluorouracil-based (5-FU) third mCRC. Methods retrospective multi-institutional trial, mCRC...
In recent years, machine learning (ML) methods have gained significant popularity among medical researchers interested in cancer. We aimed to test different models predict both overall survival and at specific time points patients with non-metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The clinicopathological treatment data of CRC more than 10 years follow-up a single center were retrospectively reviewed. 1, 2, 3, 5, 10-year rates for all stages I-III statistically calculated using the Kaplan-Meier...

They divided into 2 groups as single multiple gene.For study, 425 patients screened. was positive 191 (45%). One hundred ninety-one 171 (90%) had 20 (10%) mutations....
We aimed to determine whether serum SPON2 is a useful biomarker in the detection of Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) and compare levels with 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) patients DN at different stages.The cohort included 80 adult T2D 20 healthy controls. The were divided into four groups according UAER creatinine (sCr) levels. Group 1 consisted normoalbuminuria (n = 20), 2 microalbuminuria 3 macroalbuminuria 20) 4 albuminuria sCr > 1.5 mg/dL 20).There no significant differences...
This study examined the difference in overall survival (OS) between peritoneal metastatic gastric cancer (PMGC) patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cytoreductive surgery ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal (CRS HIPEC) and those did not have but instead received palliative chemotherapy.This retrospective included 80 were up with diagnosis of PMGC, undergoing CRS HIPEC group) receiving only (non-surgical group), medical oncology clinic April 2011 December 2021....
Various psychiatric disorders, especially depression and anxiety, are seen in 2/3 of the chronic rheumatic diseases with pain. In this study, we aimed to define anxiety rates Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients (under treatment) similar age gender; compare obtained data each other healthy control group; also investigate relationship between human leukocyte antigen B27(HLA-B27) AS, Factor (RF) anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) RA depression.46...
Gallstone disease (GD) is a common gastrointestinal disease. Although traditional diagnostic techniques, such as ultrasonography, CT, and MRI, detect gallstones, they have some limitations, including high cost potential inaccuracies in certain populations. This study proposes machine learning-based prediction model for gallstone using bioimpedance laboratory data. A dataset of 319 samples, comprising161 patients 158 healthy controls, was curated. The comprised 38 attributes the participants,...
The prognostic role of fibroblast growth factor 11 (FGF11) has only been reported in cancers such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and prostate cancer. FGF11 breast cancer is not fully known. It was aimed to compare expression levels de novo metastatic hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal reseptor-2-negative tumor tissue healthy investigate the effect on survival patients. To determine rate, patients diagnosed by biopsy individuals who underwent due benign lesions were used. study...
Introduction: Locoregional gastric cancer is a still serious problem and perioperative treatments may improve the success of management. Different regimens were examined. The present study purposed to compare efficacy fluorouracil-leucovorin-oxaliplatin-docetaxel (FLOT) docetaxel-cisplatin-fluorouracil (DCF) regimens. Methods: A retrospective multicenter assessed patients with locoregional cancer. There are 240 (137 DCF, 103 FLOT). Survival rates compared. Results: Demographic features...
Introduction Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody IgG4 programmed cell death protein 1 antagonist, and its use in oncology has been increasing recent years, providing durable favorable responses tolerable toxicity profiles various types of cancer. We describe case pembrolizumab related perforated appendicitis patient with stage 3C malignant melanoma (MM). Case report A 70-year-old male who had no known disease was diagnosed MM as result the excision mass on his right shoulder....
Introduction Treatment options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma disease have been improved in recent years. However, there is still no optimal treatment sequence or combination disease. We aimed to investigate whether patients differed terms of outcomes regarding pre-nivolumab tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Material and methods The analysis was performed after all cohorts were sub-grouped into two groups according TKIs as following the sunitinib arm pazopanib arm. Result A total 75...
