Abstract Breast cancer is the most common in women worldwide. Minimally invasive percutaneous image-guided biopsies are current cornerstone diagnosis of breast lesions detected on mammography/ultrasonography/MRI or palpable clinically. However, apparently benign disease seen a limiting factor for and risk especially high-risk category patients. Hypothesizing that molecular changes often occur before morphological variations, levels LncRNA H19 were measured anonymous tissues obtained from 79...
Immune-mediated encephalitis as an adverse event due to checkpoint inhibitors is very rare. We describe herein the case of a 38-year-old woman with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who developed seizures and somnolence twelve days after receiving first dose Atezolizumab. Work up ruled out all infectious etiologies, patient was eventually diagnosed immune-mediated meningoencephalitis. Symptoms recovered high-dose steroids, she found have excellent response on follow-up imaging, which...
BackgroundBreast cancer (BC) has been increasing in both prevalence and incidence Lebanon. Knowing the positive impact mammographic screening on reducing mortality rates, we sought to investigate knowledge, attitudes barriers towards BC amongst Lebanese women across all districts.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 400 aged 35–75, no prior or current diagnosis of BC, employing an online questionnaire filled face-to-face participants gather sociodemographic data assess history...

This phenomenon caused a lead point that could include very rarely superficial invasive adenocarcinoma in background tubular adenoma. One complications gastroduodenal obstruction ampulla Vater, causing acute pancreatitis. [b]CASE REPORT[/b] In this case report, we describe an 84-year-old woman who presented for 2-day history abdominal pain and vomiting, was found to have elevated...
Background: COVID-19 is an infection secondary to the novel SARS-COV-2 virus with a well-established increased risk for thrombotic events. However, interaction between and other patient-specific hereditary or acquired thrombophilias remains poorly explored area. Case Presentation: We herein report case of 23-year-old Caucasian female known factors coagulopathy (smoking, oral contraceptives, anti-phospholipid (aPL) antibodies, heterozygous Factor V Leiden mutation, homozygous...
