Syncope caused by carotid sinus syndrome due to head and neck cancer is rare. We report a case of recurrent syncope as result extreme bradycardia requiring pacemaker implantation. The patient began chemotherapy radiation therapy treat the underlying cause. When diagnosed early, positive outcome expected in these situations.The differential diagnosis transient loss consciousness frequently evident at clinical examination but may prove be challenge.The invasion direct compression rare cause...
Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease that affects muscle strength and causes skin manifestations. There increased incidence of cancer in patients with this diagnosis although the pathophysiology association still not completely understood. We report a case 65-year-old man who presented to emergency department proximal weakness, weight loss, dysphagia, enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes, erythematous rash malar supraciliary regions, papules extensor metacarpophalangeal interphalangeal...

Abstract Introduction: The management of older patients with breast cancer remains controversial. difficult assessment ageing idiosyncrasies and the insufficient evidence therapeutic guidelines can lead to undertreatment. Our goal was measure undertreatment assess its impact on survival. Materials methods: Consecutive aged 70 years or were prospectively enrolled in 2014. Three frailty screening tools (G8, fTRST, GFI) two functional status scales (KPS, ECOG-PS) applied. Disease...
