Purpose: To define the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in individuals presenting for care at a comprehensive cancer center. Patients Methods: A total 17 639 to an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center (and consortium sites) completed questionnaire regarding CAM use. Data were analyzed using univariate χ 2 test assess associated with number variables, including status, age, gender, marital ethnicity, race, employment, education level. Results: Eighty-seven percent who...
This study explores the incidence and trends of breast (Bca), corpus uteri (CUca), ovarian (Oca) cancer in Lebanon, a Middle Eastern country. It compares Bca rates to regional global ones discusses risk factors Lebanon.
<title>Abstract</title> Upgrading the surgical sutures, as main wound closure device, is essential. The evolution of bacterial resistance and plummeting antibiotics have directed research toward augmented sutures. Nanotechnology has provided answers to these concerns. use isolates bio-factory for synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) nanocomposites via a one pot ex situ method provides environmentally friendly in addition chitosan polyvinyl alcohol polymers carriers. Transmission electron...
We evaluated complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices among women presenting to a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Center with gynecologic malignancy.Women malignancy who had consented enrollment in our institutional prospective clinical registry between January 2003 2014 completed questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, medical histories, quality of life, CAM use were considered for analysis.Among the 2508 identified, responses questions on...
This study aimed to develop a prediction model for lymph node metastasis using gene expression signature in patients with endometrioid-type endometrial cancer.Newly diagnosed cancer cases which the had undergone lymphadenectomy during surgical staging procedure were identified from national dataset (N = 330). Clinical and pathologic data extracted patient medical records, datasets of their tumors used create 12-gene predictive metastasis. We principal components analysis on training set (n...
The aim of this study was to review treatment and outcomes for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) the cervix at a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Center.Data women with NET treated our institution, since 1999, were collected. Progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) assessed respect age, tumor size, tobacco use, lymph node status, stage disease, type treatment.Among 18 patients (median 44 years), 9 (50%) had larger than 5 cm advanced-stage disease (IB2-IV). Seven recurrences...
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. The high grade serous epithelial (HGSE) subtype aggressive and it often presents at advanced stages, while screening programs have not proven beneficial. Management of stages (FIGO III IV), which constitute majority diagnoses, usually consists platinum-based chemotherapy cytoreductive surgery (primary or interval) followed by maintenance therapy. Currently, standard-of-care for newly diagnosed HGSE ovarian cancer, as per international...
Cytoreductive surgery is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer (OVCA) treatment. Detractors initial maximal surgical effort argue that aggressive tumor biology will dictate survival, not effort. We investigated role in achieving optimal cytoreduction serous OVCA using microarray gene expression analysis.For model, we used a signature from analysis 124 women with OVCA, defining as removal all disease greater than 1 cm (with 64 having and 60 suboptimal cytoreduction). then applied this model to 2...
The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative frozen section (FS) with the final pathology (FP), and determine its clinical impact in clinically apparent early stage endometrial cancer (EC) at American University Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC). Data for patients 18 years or older, stage, grade 1 2, endometrioid EC, who underwent hysterectomy ± lymph node dissection (LND) AUBMC between January 1st 1996 June 30th 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. 70 included. overall concordance FS FP...
Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is sometimes the first sign of an internal malignancy, including gastrointestinal, gynecological, or malignancy unknown primary. It rarely sole presentation a primary peritoneal cancer. In this report, we present case 70-year-old female with umbilical drainage and computed tomography scan consistent solitary nodule. Excision revealed adenocarcinoma likely müllerian origin. Surgical staging did not show any evidence exception pelvic washings. She was considered to...
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to investigate the role microarray gene expression analysis in predicting feasibility complete cytoreduction ovarian cancer. METHODS: Microarray 507 women with cancer from Cancer Genome Atlas initially analyzed and a signature created. Complete defined as removal all tumors no macroscopic residual disease. model applied Australian Ovarian Study data set 216 samples. RESULTS: One hundred fifteen had significantly higher 5-year overall survival...
Background: Postpartum bleeding is one of the most serious emergencies which nurses face. Aim study: to evaluate effect educational guidelines on maternity nurses' competencies regarding prevention and controlling primary postpartum hemorrhage. Design: Quasi experimental research design. Setting: This study was carried out in Minia University for children hospital. Sample: Convenience sample consisted 50 units who provide direct nursing care women during labor immediate post-partum period....
INTRODUCTION: To investigate if gene expression can differentiate endometrial cancer risk classification based on GOG 99 study in The Cancer Genome Atlas patients. METHODS: Gene was extracted from 271 endometrioid samples the TCGA database. Patients were stratified to high risk, intermediate and low or clinicopathologic parameters 99. Genes differentially expressed between classes at univariate significance level of less than .001 included signature. RESULTS: There 167 patients low-risk...
A 43-year-old woman treated with radical hysterectomy 1 year ago for cervical cancer presented a suprapubic abdominal mass. 15 cm necrotic mass from the wall along 2 small bowel loops and dome of bladder were resected. The peritoneal defect was reconstructed pedicled anterolateral thigh Vastus Lateralis muscle composite flap. Pathology showed invasive non-keratinizing moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, consistent metastatic cancer, involving urinary bladder, soft tissue. With...
