Abstract Background The aim was to define the pathological response in lymph nodes following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for oesophageal adenocarcinoma and quantify any associated survival benefit. Methods Lymph retrieved at oesophagectomy were examined retrospectively by two pathologists evidence of a chemotherapy. Patients classified as node-negative (either negative with no previous tumour involvement or complete regression) positive (allocated node regression score based on proportion...
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is the standard of care for breast cancer patients with non-palpable axillary nodes. We evaluated usefulness contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in preoperative detection malignant SLNs.50 (median age: 60 years) underwent a color power Doppler intravenous contrast (Sonovue®) preoperatively, and findings suggestive metastatic disease to SLN were documented. The final histopathological report radiological record compared. Finally, sensitivity, specificity...
Purpose. Radical surgical resection with adjuvant chemotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy is the most effective treatment for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, relatively few studies investigate prognostic significance of biological markers in PDAC. This study aims to look into expressions vimentin, Ki67, and CD44 PDAC specimens their potential implications survival. Method. The was designed as retrospective, were evaluated by immunohistochemistry 53 cases. Overall survival...
Little is known about the correlation between contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics and pathological prognostic factors in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to explore CEUS factors.A retrospective with 34 malignant lesions conducted. included qualitative (e.g. lesion's enhancement degree order, internal lesion homogeneity etc.) quantitative peak intensity, time etc.). Also, were tumor grade, estrogen receptor status etc.).Blurred margins observed more often tumors high...
Abstract Background Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare, but serious condition that affects mostly postpartum women. A high index of suspicion required in order to diagnose this unusual cause abdominal pain.

Physical examination revealed an acutely ill patient quadrant tenderness with positive rebound Giordano signs. The underwent appendectomy which...
Cystic disease of the spleen is an uncommon entity in general population. Most cases result from parasitic infection by Echinococcus granulosus, a form called splenic hydatid (SHD), with reported frequency 0.5-6.0% within abdominal hydatidosis. On contrary, isolated involvement very even endemic regions. Two primary SHD managed open and laparoscopic radical surgery our department are herein. Primary rare non-specific symptoms underlying clinical suspicion physician for prompt diagnosis....
Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract (1%), and stomach is most common location involved. However, co-existence gastric adenocarcinoma GIST very rare. A case an 80-year-old male with a simultaneous presentation presented. Various hypotheses have been proposed in order to explain this development, but even though it's cause has not proven yet.

Methods All patients who underwent elective, minimally invasive inguinal hernia in our hospital from January 2017 2022 were included study. data that analyzed demographics,...
Renal vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by neoplastic thrombus in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is not an obstacle for radical oncological treatment. The aim of this study to present our technical maneuvers complete removal the intracaval without compromising hemodymanic stability patient.Between 2000 and 2014, 15 RCC IVC involvement levels I-III were treated curative intent prospectively studied. operative technique varied according extent. For type I, extraction...
