Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an extremely rare entity, with a frequency of 0.005% all malignancies. Most data related to this disease are limited case series and few database studies. We present large study that aims investigate the demographic, clinical, pathological factors, prognosis, survival PC. Methods: Data parathyroid were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) diagnosed between 1975 2016. Results: PC had slightly higher incidence in men (52.2%,...
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of gastrointestinal (GI) system. Most GISTs originate from interstitial cells Cajal (ICC), pacemaker cell situated between circular and longitudinal layers muscularis propria along GI tract. In this population-based study using SEER database, we sought to identify demographic, clinical, pathologic factors that affect prognosis survival patients with neoplasm. Molecular genetic advances, current...
Background: Salivary gland neoplasms are uncommon in both pediatric and adult populations. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common salivary tumors usually presents with atypical clinical features. This study sought to evaluate demographic factors affecting outcomes adults populations MEC that could be used risk stratification for treatment selection trial enrollment. Methods: Data on 4507 patients were extracted from Surveillance Epidemiology End Result (SEER) database...
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential 68 Ga-pentixafor PET/CT for in vivo CXCR4 receptors imaging glioma and its possible role response assessment radiochemotherapy (R-CT). Methods Nineteen (12 men, 7 women) patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) underwent PET/CT, contrast-enhanced MR, MR spectroscopy. Patients were divided 2 groups, that is, group I presurgical (n = 9) which scanning done before surgery, PET findings correlated receptors’ density. II...
Primary peritoneal mesothelioma (PPM) is a rare and aggressive tumor arising from the visceral parietal peritoneum. The diagnosis treatment of PPM are often delayed because non-specific clinical presentation, prognosis worse. current study investigated demographic, clinical, pathological factors affecting patient survival in PPM. Demographic data 1998 patients with were extracted Surveillance Epidemiology End Results (SEER) database (1975-2016). chi-square test, paired t-test, multivariate...
Uterine cancer (UC) is one of the leading gynecologic neoplastic disorders in United States (US), which over 80% are endometrioid adenocarcinomas (EA). In contrast to EA, carcinosarcoma (CS) uterus a sporadic and highly malignant tumor, phylogenetically containing both epithelial mesenchymal histologic elements. This study sought analyze demographic, pathological retrospectively, survival characteristics large cohort CS patients compared EA identify prognostic factors treatment approaches...
Burkholderia cepacia, formerly described as Pseudomonas belongs to the cepacia complex (Bcc), a collection of closely related gram-negative bacteria that is considered leading organism in causing pulmonary infections humans. In healthcare settings, species have ability colonise medical equipment and surfaces, posing threat nosocomial infections. Moreover, they exhibit inherently resistance various classes antibiotics, thus being nominated multi-drug resistant pathogens (MDR), why treatment...
Primary lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality in United States (US). Approximately 90% cancers are associated with smoking and use other tobacco products. Based on histology, divided into small-cell carcinomas (SCLCs) non-small-cell (NSCLCs). Most SCLCs pure subtype, while rare combined contain elements both morphologies. This study sought to evaluate demographics, clinical factors, molecular abnormalities, treatment approaches, survival outcomes SCLC NSCLCs.Data...
Background: Pancreatic lymphomas (PLs) represent <2% of all and <0.5% pancreatic neoplasms. An accurate histologic diagnosis PL is needed to predict prognosis adequately treat the patient. This study aims investigate demographic, clinical, pathological factors affecting survival diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: Demographic clinical data from 493 cases DLBCL pancreas were identified between 2000 2018 using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database. Results:...
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is the second most common histological subtype of cancer. This research aims to present a large database study highlighting demographic, clinical, and pathological factors, racial disparities, prognosis, survival PRCC. The clinical demographic data were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database, molecular was cured Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database. PRCC had median age diagnosis at 64 years, with...
Neuroendocrine carcinomas of the gallbladder (NECs-GB) are rare tumors, accounting for <0.2% all neuroendocrine gastrointestinal tract. They originate from cells epithelium with associated intestinal or gastric metaplasia. The current study is largest SEER database on NECs-GB that aims to elucidate demographic, clinical, and pathologic factors influencing prognosis comparative survival analysis different treatment modalities.The data 176 patients was abstracted Surveillance Epidemiology End...
A paper by the King’s Fund in 2010 identified that GPs were more likely to refer younger children than older with equivalent needs, suggesting lower confidence levels and thresholds for referrals.1 An estimated 30% of GP consultations are musculoskeletal2 a quarter all patients who visit their each year aged <18 years.3 It is, therefore, important have comprehensive understanding common paediatric orthopaedic pathologies. A limp is reason child present GP. also one commonest referrals...
Objective In this study, we aimed to assess the incidence of hearing loss in pediatric population through otoacoustic emission (OAE) and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) analyze possible etiological factors responsible for it. Material methods A retrospective observational study was conducted Otolaryngology (ENT) Gynecology Obstetrics Departments at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre National Institute Child Health Karachi, Pakistan between July 2019 October 2019. The convenient...
The most common pediatric fractures involve the upper extremity. But there is limited study on racial disparity in diagnostic radiography for fractures. literature has described accuracy of alternative modalities with promising evidence its ability to mitigate health inequity primary care. Our objective was understand if exists fractures.In this four-year retrospective cohort study, we analyzed rates radiographic imaging and abnormal radiograph detection 4280 patients (ages 3-18 years) who...
Background: Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the tubular gastrointestinal tract (GI-NECs) are rare and associated with worse clinical outcomes. This population-based study aims to highlight key demographics, clinicopathological factors, survival outcomes in US population. Methods: Data from 10,387 patients GI-NECs were extracted Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Result (SEER) database 2000 2020. Results: Most >40 years old at time presentation a median age 63 old, almost equal ethnic...
Background: This retrospective study aims to examine the patient demographics, survival rates, and treatment methods for small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) large-cell (LCNEC) of prostate origin while also identifying main differences between common types cancer with comparative analysis survival. Methods: Our utilized Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database (SEER), data was collected from 2000–2020. Cox proportional hazards chi-squared were used statistical analysis....
Colorectal leiomyosarcoma (CR-LMS) is a rare neoplasm arising from smooth muscle cells. It accounts for less than 0.1% of all colorectal malignancies. In this population-based study, we aim to understand the demographics, treatment characteristics, and pathologic factors associated with survival in CR-LMS.
Introduction: Uterine carcinosarcoma is an aggressive gynecologic malignancy that accounts for 5% of all gynecological malignancies. There a disproportion in its incidence and mortality among different races. This study describes demographic clinicopathological factors racial disparities affecting the survival patients with uterine carcinosarcoma.
