Background Surgeons provide up to 10% of total opioid prescriptions across all specialties, and more than one-third surgeon-prescribed medications are opioids. Patient-reported consumption risk persistent use beyond the postoperative recovery period correlate with initial quantity prescribed at discharge. Interventions reduce prescribing have demonstrated no adverse effects on pain control or increased need for prescription refill; however, in absence standardized protocols, practices vary...
596 Background: Patients with small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) frequently present metastatic disease, and efficacy of available therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), is limited. Toward developing novel immunomodulatory strategies, we evaluated the tumor microenvironment SBNETs using bulk transcriptional digital spatial profiling (DSP). Methods: SBNET who underwent surgical resection at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2003-2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall...
Abstract Background: Patients with small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNET) frequently present metastatic disease and the efficacy of available therapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), is limited. Toward developing novel immunomodulatory strategies, we interrogated tumor microenvironment SBNETs using bulk transcriptional digital spatial profiling (DSP). Methods: SBNET who underwent resection at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2003-2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Overall...
A 45-year-old woman with a history of previously treated left plantar foot melanoma presented thigh mass. Fine needle aspiration findings were concerning for metastatic (MM). Imaging was remarkable PET-avidity both the biopsied mass and posterior knee nodule. The nodule also enhancing on MRI, site metastasis. Resection intra-articular performed. lesion positive MM. specimen obtained from demonstrated proliferation spindle epithelioid cells associated focal fibrosis scattered giant brown...
<h3>Background</h3> The association of dietary fiber intake with gut microbiome profiles and improved immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response is well-described in melanoma patients. Higher social vulnerability index (SVI) has also been associated decreased diversity.<sup>4–9</sup> We hypothesized that higher SVI low food access (LFA) would be insufficient intake, negatively impacting composition and, subsequently, clinical outcomes sarcoma <h3>Methods</h3> Clinicopathologic data, diet,...
Synovial sarcomas represent an extremely rare subtype of already group malignancies, soft tissue sarcomas. Among these, primary pulmonary synovial comprise even smaller number, though they have become more frequently reported in the literature. This case report details a giant sarcoma 44-year-old male patient who presented with left-sided chest pain and shortness breath was found to large pleural effusion. No malignant cells were demonstrated on cytology fluid after thoracentesis; however,...
Abstract Background : Breast cancer impacts millions of people worldwide, and in Peru, breast is the most common cause related death among women. treatment physically emotionally burdensome challenging for patients. Methods In-depth interviews were conducted with 14 female patients survivors Lima, Peru. The explored four main themes: women’s emotional experiences, coping mechanisms, resources available or needed, advice newly diagnosed Results Respondents described a tremendous lack...
