Patients with cancer are at high risk for serious illness and death from COVID-19. The pandemic has altered the routine oncology patients. Their lives depend on their ability to receive medical care, but every visit a health-care facility exposes them of contracting virus; therefore, concerns about getting infected might interfere continuity care. Does treatment outweigh infection? psychological pressure uncertainty patients is particularly high. In this difficult phase, these need guidance...
To evaluate the cardiac toxicity of radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer (BC) patients employing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with Tc-99 m Tetrofosmin-single photon emission computer tomography (T-SPECT).We studied 46 BC female (28 left and 18 right BC) treated postoperative RT compared to a control group 85 age-matched females. The median time SPECT was 40 months (6-263).Abnormalities summed stress score (SSS) were found 54% patients, 44.4% 32.9% controls. In there significantly more...
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of prophylactic amifostine in reducing risk severe radiation colitis cancer patients receiving radical radiotherapy pelvis. Methods Patients with pelvic tumours referred for who consented participation this trial, were randomly assigned receive daily (A) (subcutaneously, 500 mg flat dose) before or alone (R). Sigmoidoscopy and blinded biopsies scheduled conduct prior initiation following completion again 6 9 months later....
Primary small cell carcinoma of the prostate (SCPCa) is a rare pathologic entity with unique clinical features and poor prognosis. We present case patient diagnosed pure SCPCa treated combined chemo-radiotherapeutic approach. Pathological findings showed that neoplastic cells exhibited positivity for pancytokeratin, synaptophysin, thyroid transcription factor-1 CD56. Immunostaining prostate-specific antigen was negative, while serum within normal limits. review available literature to gain...

Background: Preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) is considered the standard of care in management stage II/III rectal cancer. The aim this retrospective study was to assess efficacy and safety preoperative CRT our patient cohort with locally advanced adenocarcinoma. Methods: Forty patients cT3-4N0-2M0 adenocarcinoma lower (n = 26) mid/upper 14) rectum were enrolled between 2001 2012. Radiotherapy (RT) given pelvis. median prescribed dose 45 Gy (daily dose, 1.8 - 2.0 Gy). All received...
This study aims to validate the Greek translation of Questionnaire for Assessing Fear Radiotherapy in Oncology Patients (QAFRT). Conducted as a cross-sectional pilot study, it involved 149 cancer patients from two radiotherapy departments Thessaloniki, Greece. The sample included with various types and stages, all whom were undergoing radiation treatment. QAFRT, originally containing 15 items measured on Likert scale, was translated into using back-translation method. Exploratory factor...
Mass Screening seems to be the only promising way discover breast cancer patients at an early and more curable stage a positive method improving cost-effectiveness compliance of mass screening is use prognostic factors, identify high-risk group, who alone then would screened. In 200 women sample, had undergone for with clinical examination bilateral mammography, we calculated Composite Risk Factors six Characteristics (C6RF), which are family history cancer, pregnancy history, menstual...
Despite the optimal treatment given to children with medulloblastoma, many relapses are seen after combining treatments. Re-irradiation is part of salvage therapy for who relapse and might provide long-term disease control. Nevertheless, it challenging because there a concern about exceeding radiation tolerances late toxicities. an option brain tumors, including medulloblastoma in children. This study presents case recurrent treated re-irradiation. A systematic review literature provided...
Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumors are uncommon neoplasms of the lung and gastrointestinal tract.However, 3-5% these diagnosed as metastatic disease with unknown primary.Here, we describe a case small cell carcinoma primary by inguinal node biopsy.A 53-year-old male patient history heavy smoking presented cough, back pain altered mental status.Whole body imaging studies (CT -MRI -FDG PET) favored diagnosis hematological (lymphoma) or diffuse melanoma.However, biopsy revealed...
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) represents a rare skin cancer associated with sun exposure. It is an uncommon neoplasm of the elderly population. The majority patients MCC present localized disease at diagnosis and few have regional lymph node (LN) involvement distant metastases. Although it has been previously reported in various anatomical sites, LN metastatic absence primary site extremely for this reason there no standard approach to its management. Currently, management site. Since highly...
