PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of contrast material–enhanced multi–detector row computed tomographic (CT) colonography for preoperative staging colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-one patients with carcinoma underwent contrast-enhanced CT colonography. Images were obtained in arterial (start delay 35 seconds) and portal venous 70 phases. The phase was focused on suspected region neoplasm, whereas included whole abdomen pelvis. Two radiologists independently evaluated depth...
Etoposide, doxorubicin and cisplatin plus oral mitotane (EDP-M) comprise the reference regimen in management of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). In this paper, we described outcome 58 advanced/metastatic ACC consecutively treated EDP-M a center for rare disease Italy. series, obtained partial response 50% patients; median progression free survival (PFS) overall were 10.1 months (95% Confidence Interval [CI 95%] 8.1–12.8) 18.7 CI: 14.6–22.8), respectively. was not interrupted...
Chest Computed Tomography (CT) imaging has played a central role in the diagnosis of interstitial pneumonia patients affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and can be used to obtain extent lung involvement COVID-19 either qualitatively, via visual inspection, or quantitatively, AI-based software. This study aims compare qualitative/quantitative pathological extension data on patients. Secondly, quantitative obtained were compared verify their concordance...
•Cabazitaxel is well tolerated but poorly active as second/third-line treatment in patients with advanced ACC.•Combining RECIST and Choi criteria could be of value the assessment disease response to chemotherapy ACC patients.•Older age, elevated cortisol LDH blood level correlate a greater risk death multivariate analysis. BackgroundAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) rare aggressive malignancy poor prognosis. No efficacious options are currently available for metastatic progression standard...
We evaluated tumor response at Computed Tomography (CT) according to three radiologic criteria: RECIST 1.1, CHOI and volume in 34 patients with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) submitted standard chemotherapy. These criteria agreed defining partial response, stable or progressive disease 24 (70.5%). Partial (PR) was observed 29.4%, 29.4% 41.2% of volume, respectively. It associated a favorable prognosis, regardless the criterion adopted. The concordance all 3 identified 8 (23.5%)...
Gemcitabine plus Capecitabine (Gem/Cape) is a frequently adopted second line chemotherapy for metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), but only minority of patients destined to obtain clinical benefit. The identification baseline predictive factors efficacy relevant. We retrospectively analyzed data from 50 consecutive with progressing ACC treated between 2011 and 2019. Patients received intravenous oral on metronomic schedule. Previous mitotane therapy was maintained. Clinical benefit...
(1) Background: The standard first-line therapy for advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is represented by EDP-M (etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin + mitotane). Progestins have shown cytotoxic activity both in vitro and vivo on ACC; better tolerability efficacy been hypnotized due to the association with progestins. (2) Methods: feasibility of combined oral megestrol acetate (EDP-MM) were tested 24 patients (pts) affected metastatic ACC a low performance status (PS); case group was...
Secondary peritoneal hydatidosis is caused by spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture of hepatic echinococcal cysts. We describe the case a 65-year-old Tunisian male patient with previous history liver who presented to our attention subocclusive status. Imaging revealed retrovesical hydatid cyst, adherent sigmoid colon. The treatment choice was surgical removal cyst and now being closely followed up.
