Introduction Cancer is a disease where transformed cells undergo uncontrolled division and survival. The incidence of cancer hence its burden on the rise. This study aims to evaluate scientific studies published in year 2023. Methods A cross-sectional included papers that were After extracting data from Google Scholar engine, they all gathered recorded Microsoft Excel 2010 sheet. All rigorously evaluated, calculated, then presented as frequencies percentages. Results total 181,189 2023...
Purpose: colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed worldwide, and detection of new prognostic markers mandatory for patients to receive optimal oncological treatment. The aim study was assess clinical value red cell distribution width (RDW) in with CRC.
PURPOSE: Burnout is defined as a three-dimensional syndrome—emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA)—caused by chronic occupational stress. The aim of the current study was to investigate prevalence burnout among oncologists in Eastern Europe identify contributing factors. METHODS: conducted an online survey between October 2017 March 2018. Oncologists (including medical, radiation, clinical, surgical oncologists) from 19 countries were...
Objectives: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a common autoimmune disease. Available data show that HT develops as result of interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, but the exact pathogenesis disease not yet fully understood. The aim this investigation to evaluate potential relationship family history development HT.Methods: Data regarding all patients who were referred for diagnostic evaluation thyroid function any reason May 2014 2018 was analyzed. Only...
Background The aim of this study was to determine the possible predictive value various dosimetric parameters on development hypothyroidism (HT) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated (chemo)radiotherapy. Patients methods This included 156 HNSCC who were (chemo)radiotherapy a primary or postoperative setting between August 2012 September 2017. Dose-volume as well V10 toV70, D02 D98, VS10 VS70 evaluated. patients' hormone status regularly assessed during...
Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) is one of the most investigated markers for detection circulating colorectal cancer (CRC) cells by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The aim this study was to evaluate prognostic value RT-PCR CRC using CK20 as a marker, and compare preoperative postoperative blood sample analysis that purpose. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) isolated from mononuclear cell fraction samples taken 95 patients before after tumor resection 23 healthy volunteers assayed...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to detect parameters that could serve as predictors radioactive iodine (I‐131) ablation failure in patients with low‐risk and intermediate‐risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Methods Our cohort included 740 DTC who received postoperative I‐131 remnant ablation. Anthropometric, biochemical, pathohistological were analyzed correlated outcome using multivariable logistic regression models. Results Treatment rates higher <53 years,...
AimTo investigate the prevalence of burnout syndrome among physicians all specialties, including residents and non-specialists, on a national level in Croatia.MethodsThis cross-sectional study, conducted October 2017, used anonymous online survey based Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey. The Croatian version inventory was assessed for acceptability, factorial validity, reliability. Key dimensions – emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, lack personal accomplishment were...
Thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine-related worldwide. The aim this article was to assess relationship between thyroid diseases diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and family history disease.The study conducted in a tertiary high-volume centre. Fine nodule detected on neck ultrasound for any reason performed all included patients.A total 10 709 patients were study.Correlation cytological findings classified according Bethesda system calculated using Fisher's exact...
Abstract Aims We compared characteristics of patients with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) and severe hyperglycemia without the signs hyperosmolarity ketoacidosis; analyzed long-term all-cause mortality potential prognostic factors. Methods The studied population included 261 749 adults. HHS was diagnosed in plasma glucose >33.0 mmol/L, ketonuria <1+, serum osmolarity >320 mmol/L. Patients <1+ <320 mmol/L were considered as controls (nHHS). Results During 5-year period,...
To best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case pericardial and pleural effusions combined with ascites, precipitated severe sunitinib-induced hypothyroidism. A 58-year-old man presented in emergency department due to dyspnoea dry cough. Sixteen months earlier, patient underwent left nephrectomy metastatic renal cell adenocarcinoma (RCC), therapy sunitinib was initiated postoperatively. Thyroid function not assessed during therapy. On admission, all laboratory findings were within...
Usage of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is steadily increasing over the last decades, gaining medical, economic sociological importance.Th e aim present study was to assess use therapies in cancer patients.A crosssectional, descriptive survey design used collect data through an anonymous questionnaire.A total 267 patients were included study.Th prevalence CAM among this 60.3%.It found that 61 heterogeneous used, most popular being naturopathy/folk medicine.In multivariate...
Hypofractionated post-prostatectomy radiotherapy is emerging practice, however with no randomized evidence so far to support it's use. Additionally, patients persistent PSA after prostatectomy may have aggressive disease and respond less well on standard salvage treatment. Herein we report outcomes for conventionally fractionated (CFR) hypofractionated (HFR) in postprostatectomy who received prostate bed.Single institution retrospective chart review was performed Institutional Review Board...
Serum chromogranin A (CgA) is routinely used as a biomarker in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Several conditions and comorbidities may be associated falsely elevated CgA, often leading to extensive diagnostic evaluation, which costly harmful. The aim of this study was analyze the effectiveness acute octreotide suppression test (AOST) differentiating serum CgA.Our prospective enrolled 45 from two different patient cohorts: (1) 29 suspicion or presence NENs (extensive workup...
e551 Background: Data on hypofractionated radiotherapy in definitive treatment of prostate cancer are maturing; however, limited information is available for after prostatectomy. We aimed to compare and conventionally fractionated salvage setting biochemically recurrent cancer. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed 106 patients with proven PSA recurrence treated the bed. Patients were non-randomly, a alternating fashion, subjected either 52.5 Gy 20 fractions 2.625 over 4 weeks (N =...
