Background and objectives: Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is an aggressive malignancy scarcely reported on due to its rarity. This study a review of traits features prognosis survival by analyzing both the literature national cancer database.Methods: Data were acquired from Survival, Epidemiology, End Results database literature. 1, 5, 10-year Disease Specific Survival rates hazard ratios (HR) determined. split into pre-2000 (<2000) post-2000 (>2000) groups. Overall survival, recurrence,...
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is an aggressive cancer usually managed with surgical resection. This study evaluates the impact of treatment modality and positive margin (PSM) on survival following resection SNMM.Retrospective a national registry.The National Cancer Database was queried for cases SNMM from 2010 to 2015. Data regarding patient demographics, tumor staging, were obtained. Survival rates compared by status: PSM, negative (NSM), no operation (0SM) using Kaplan-Meier analysis...
Emergency general surgery (EGS) is a field characterized by disproportionately high costs, post-operative mortality, and complications. We attempted to identify independent factors predictive of an increased postoperative length stay (LOS), key contributor economic burden worse outcomes.The ACS-NSQIP database was queried for data from2005 2017. Current procedural terminology (CPT) codes were used the most commonly performed EGS procedures: appendectomy, bowel resection, colectomy,...
Abstract Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has previously been linked to increased risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality in other surgical undertakings. Because MetS is a consequence endocrine dysfunction, given the thyroid's crucial role homeostasis, we sought evaluate association between outcomes thyroidectomy. Methods Data were acquired from ACS‐NSQIP database years 2005 2017. Patients with obesity, diabetes, hypertension defined as having MetS. Odds ratios (OR) obtained for...
Abstract Objective Bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) and posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) are causes of bilateral immobility (BVFI) may cause shortness breath, stridor, need for surgical intervention. Although increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with restrictive breathing patterns in patients normal upper airways, it unclear how BMI impacts dyspnea intervention BVFI patients. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Three tertiary academic centers the United States....
Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition caused by mutation in the neurofibromin gene. Classic symptoms include neurofibromas, hyperpigmented cutaneous spots (café-au-lait macules), axillary and/or inguinal freckling, iris hamartomas (Lisch nodules), and bone lesions [1]. Rarely, patients with NF-1 can have vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms, stenoses, arteriovenous malformations. The exact pathogenesis of these unknown, but thought to be due...
Objectives/Hypothesis Thyroid cancer with distant metastasis (TCDM) at diagnosis has significantly worse survival rates when compared to localized/regional thyroid cancer. This study sought report on the characteristics of patients presenting TCDM and potential advantage surgical resection. Study Design Data were acquired from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database cases 2004 2015. Methods (n = 2,558) identified SEER database. The Bonferroni correction was applied for...
Objective: Patients undergoing skull base surgery of the anterior cranial fossa (SBSA) are a vulnerable patient population at risk for morbidity and mortality. As diabetes mellitus (DM) is often associated with numerous health issues postoperative complications in other surgical disciplines, this study aimed to identify if DM impacts outcomes SBSA.
A survival benefit from adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) over radiotherapy (RT) in treatment of surgically resected Human Papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) with extranodal extension (ENE) remains unclear. The National Cancer Database was queried for cases to negative margins HPV + OPSCC 2010-2015. Demographics, tumor factors, and data were obtained. Survival rates, hazard ratios (HR), odds Propensity score matching conducted. 4971 patients met...
