Abstract Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgical resection is still the standard treatment for locally advanced low rectal cancer. Nowadays new strategies are emerging to treat patients with a complete response pre-operative treatment, rendering optimal management controversial and under debate. The primary aim of this study was obtain snapshot tumor regression grade (TRG) distribution after CRT. Second, we aimed identify correlation between clinical stage (cT) TRG, define...
Abstract Background Biomarkers may play a role as predictive and prognostic factors in colorectal cancer patients. The aims of the study were to verify pre‐operative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level predicting overall survival risk recurrence cohort patients evaluate optimal cut‐off values. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on undergoing elective curative surgery between 2004 2019 at an Italian Academic Hospital. Main outcomes survival, disease‐free 3‐years local,...
Bile duct injury is a major complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Intraoperative cholangiogram useful, but faster techniques are available to assist the surgeon, like near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIFC) with indocyanine green (ICG). The aim our study evaluate usefulness NIFC during LC. This retrospective conducted on prospectively recorded data General Surgery department Trieste Academic Hospital, Italy. All patients underwent elective LC from January 2016 2020....
Background: One of the strongest prognostic factor for breast cancer is regional lymph node status, which can be evaluated intraoperatively by sentinel biopsy. Many methods (e.g. frozen section, touch imprint cytology (TIC) and one-step nucleic-acid amplification) are available to detect metastatic cells in axillary nodes. The aim this study evaluate feasibility using TIC nodes. Methods: This a retrospective single center cohort analysis conducted on prospectively recorded data. included...
Background: Carcinoma of ectopic breast tissue represents a rare condition. Ectopic glandular is frequently located in the axilla, so lesions must be distinguished from other subcutaneous masses arising this location. Case presentation: We describe case e 75 y/o woman presented to our department for recent manifestation an axillary cutaneous lesion. She underwent mammogram, ultrasound, fine-needle aspiration citology, MRI, thoraco-abdominal CT-scan and punch biopsy, she was subsequently...
Radiation to the pelvis, mainly directed against either prostatic or gynecologic cancers, is burdened by a lot of complications. The genitourinary tract most frequently involved, presenting with bladder irritation, incontinence, and fertility disorders. However, side effects radiation can also affect bone, usually causing an osteolytic process which deteriorates bone structure leads fractures, avascular necrosis, other pathological insults. Here, we describe case Candida albicans...
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of acute diverticulitis (AD) is globally increasing and represents a significant burden on health care resources. For the past decades, Hinchey Classification has been only available tool to stratify risk in these patients. main outcome this study was define if serum total bilirubin admission value correlates with severity AD, secondary other variables may help clinician stratifying achieve most suitable management.METHODS: This retrospective cohort analysis...
The human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) is a tyrosine kinase belonging to the Human Epidermal Receptor family [1]. HER2 amplified leading overexpression in 15% of breast cancers (BC) [2]. leads poor prognosis, but offers unique possibility use targeted therapy with monoclonal antibodies. This therapeutic option has radically changed history BC [3]. represents at present most powerful predictive for likeliness response anti-HER2 agents [5]. status routinely assessed either using...
