The Sedlis criteria define risk factors for recurrence warranting post-hysterectomy radiation early-stage cervical cancer; however, these were defined squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at an estimated of ≥30%. Our study evaluates and compares SCC compared with adenocarcinoma (AC) develops histology-specific nomograms to estimate guide adjuvant treatment.We performed ancillary analysis GOG 49, 92, 141, included stage I patients who surgically managed received no neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy....
Purpose.: To analyze the relationship among macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness, peripapillary nerve fiber layer (NFL) and visual field (VF) defects in patients with glaucoma. Methods.: A Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) system was used to map macula regions of retina 56 eyes 38 perimetric The GCC NFL thicknesses were mapped standard automated perimetry (SAP) performed. Loss correlated VF on both a point-by-point regional basis. Results.: Correlation between...
Preimplant diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for image-guided tandem-and-ovoids (T&O) brachytherapy cervical cancer. However, high dose rate planning typically done on postimplant CT-based high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTVCT ) because transfer of preimplant Magnetic (MR)-based HR-CTV (HR-CTVMR to CT difficult due anatomical changes caused by applicator insertion, vaginal packing, and filling status bladder rectum. This study aims train a dual-path...
To quantify Gleason score (GS) heterogeneity within multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted prostate biopsies and to determine impact on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk stratification.
Abstract Background Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is an important part of curative radiation therapy (RT) for many types pediatric brain or solid tumors. After conventional CSI, long term survivors may experience sequelae due to unintended dose normal tissue. Volumetric modulated arc (VMAT) CSI reduces off‐target doses at the cost greater complexity and error risk, we describe our initial in a group patients with tumors presenting disseminated recurrent disease. Procedure Pediatric were...
BACKGROUND Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer and has potential for regional or distant metastasis. Despite standardization features associated with high-risk cSCC, an advanced subset there no established consensus regarding proper management this tumor. OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy cetuximab, add to existing options, aid in development standardized treatment MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records were searched using Current Procedural...
Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a rare histological subtype of cutaneous malignant that typically presents on the palms and soles. To characterize demographic treatment characteristics ALM, we used National Cancer Database (NCDB) to describe large multi-institutional cohort ALM patients, consisting 4,796 patients from 2004 2015. was more likely be diagnosed at later stage overall compared with non-ALM melanomas, thicker, ulcerated, lymph node positive, have lymphovascular invasion...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignancy worldwide, yet management of patients with advanced or metastatic disease challenging, limited treatment options. Recently, programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibition has demonstrated activity in BCC after prior Hedgehog inhibitor treatment.We conducted a multicenter, retrospective analysis treated PD-1 therapy. We examined efficacy and safety therapy, as well clinical pathological variables association outcomes. Progression-free...
Approximately 4 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer affecting 2.5 individuals were diagnosed in the United States 2012, with nearly half being cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).1 Risk factors for development CSCC include ultraviolet exposure, older age, and immunosuppression.2 There are no standard guidelines to manage advanced or recurrent CSCC. Various systems have been devised predict which patients at high risk recurrence metastasis, based on clinical pathologic...
Background and Objectives To examine characteristics survival outcome of women with endometrial cancer who declined postoperative radiotherapy. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to surgically‐treated grade 1‐2 stage IB 3 IA‐IB endometrioid in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program between 1983 2013 ( n = 10 613). Associations patient declination for guideline‐based radiotherapy clinico‐pathological demographics or were examined on multivariable analysis. There 323...
The current coronavirus pandemic caused a significant decrease in cancer-related encounters resulting delay treatment of cancer patients. objective this study was to examine the survival effect starting concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) women with locally-advanced cervical cancer.This is retrospective observational querying National Cancer Database from 2004 2016. Women stage IB2-IVA squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma uterine cervix who received definitive...
The authors describe a 31 year-old female who presented emergently with abdominal pain and was found at CT to have complete genitourinary duplication including separate urinary bladders, uteri, cervices, vaginas, also of the rectum. No etiology for identified. patient referred urology further evaluation, an intravenous urographic study obtained, which confirmed lower tract duplication. 9 months later during subsequent pregnancy evaluation pain. A second scan ordered rule out appendicitis....
Abstract Introduction To identify differences in acute urinary and sexual toxicity between a 6‐fraction 2‐fraction high‐dose‐rate brachytherapy monotherapy regimen correlate dosimetric constraints to short‐term toxicity. Methods A single institution retrospective study of 116 men with prostate cancer treated HDR from 2010 2015 was conducted. Eighty‐one had 7.25 Gy × 6‐fractions 35 13.5 2‐fractions. Patients two CT ‐planned implants spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Patient baseline characteristics,...
Background. Evidence on the management of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is limited. This study investigated factors influencing IBC treatment outcomes such as event-free survival (EFS) and overall (OS). Materials Methods: Data were collected from 173 patients with stage III non-IBC 17 diagnosed at Keck Medical Center Los Angeles County University Southern California (LAC+USC) Center. Cox proportional hazard regression evaluated associations between variables significant for EFS OS....
