Recurrent rectal prolapse is an unresolved problem and the optimal treatment debated. This study was designed to review patterns of care outcomes in a large cohort patients after surgery for recurrent prolapse.From 685 who underwent operative repair full-thickness external prolapse, we identified 78 (70 females; mean age, 66.9 years) recurrence. We reviewed subsequent management these patients.Mean interval their first recurrence 33 (range, 1-168) months. There were significantly more...

Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been identified to be associated with the risk for differentiated thyroid cancer in populations of distinct ethnic background. The relationship these genetic markers a benign tumor thyroid, follicular adenoma (FA), is not well established.In multicenter retrospective case-control study, five cancer-related SNPs-rs966513 (9q22.33, FOXE1), rs944289 (14q13.3, PTCSC3), rs2439302 (8p12, NRG1), rs1867277 (9q22.23, and rs6983267 (8q24,...

Gallbladder small cell carcinoma (SCC) comprises only 0.5 % of all gallbladder cancer and consists aggressive tumors with poor survival outcomes against current treatments. These are most common in elderly females, particularly those cholecystolithiasis. We report the case a 79-year-old woman carcinoma. The patient had intermittent right upper quadrant abdominal pain was admitted to our hospital due suspected acute cholecystitis. She regularly received medical treatment for diabetes,...

Human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent of adult (ATL), and leukemic cells always carry proviral genome monoclonally integrated into their host genomes at same sequence site, designated as monoclonal integration. Using Southern blot hybridization (SBH) sequenced tagged site polymerase chain reaction assays, we examined status in 558 clinical specimens from 350 patients who are suspected to have ATL. A total 321 (57.5%) 241 showed positive results for integration...

We developed a real-time (RT) PCR quantitative assay to measure the level of integrated viral genome HTLV-1 in host peripheral blood-mononuclear cells (PB-MNC) from healthy carriers and patients with adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). All clinical specimens were serologically molecularly characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) Southern blot hybridization (SBH) analyses. The system for quantifying proviral copy was sensitive, accurate, reproducible over wide range density 100 0.1%...

Despite the survival benefit and acceptable tolerability of eribulin for advanced/metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients pretreated with anthracyclines taxanes, there is limited evidence clinical early use. We investigated efficacy safety first- to third-line use in MBC.In this phase II, open-label, single-arm study conducted at 14 sites Kyushu, Japan, women histologically confirmed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative MBC were enrolled between December 1, 2011 November 30,...

<title>Abstract</title> Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become a standard procedure for patients with breast cancer (BC) without clinically evident axillary metastasis. However, its role in cT3-4cN0 BC remains underexplored, leading to uncertainty regarding safety. Methods This retrospective, multicenter observational study included cT3-4cN0M0 who underwent radical surgery between 2006 and 2016. Patients were divided into an SLNB group, which those exclusively ALND after...

576 Background: Axillary management after sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is still debated for clinically node-positive breast cancer (BC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The Japanese Society Sentinel Node Navigation Surgery conducted a prospective non-randomized phase 2 study (SHARE study, UMIN000030558). False-negative rate (FNR) as the primary endpoint was reported at ASCO2023. In brief, it 11.5% (90% confidence interval, 5.5% and 20.5%). When multimodal imaging, 1...

How breast cancer subtypes should affect treatment decisions for patients with brain metastases is unclear. We analyzed local treatments and their outcomes according to subtype in metastases.We reviewed records database information women treated at the National Kyushu Cancer Center between 2001 2010. Patients were divided into three groups: Luminal (estrogen receptor positive and/or progesterone positive, but human epidermal growth factor 2 negative); triple negative negative, negative).Of...

Aims While cancer immunity is involved in tumour progression from the very early stage, no detailed study has been reported on relationship between ‘early-stage’ breast and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). We focused microinvasive carcinoma to investigate histological factors ‘early’ cancer. Methods Of 2593 resected carcinomas, 46 carcinomas (1.8%) were included. The relationships characteristics (invasive form, grade, comedo, subtype) immunological (TIL, healing) examined. invasive...
