IntroductionIn advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), longer time-interval from surgery to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (TITC) is associated with decreased survival. Adding upper abdominal surgical procedures (UAP) increases rates both complete gross resection and postoperative complications in EOC. Our objective was investigate the association UAP TITC. Moreover, if specific monitori...

More than 11,500 abdominal cancers are yearly diagnosed in Denmark. Nevertheless, little is known about which investigations the patients undergo before a diagnosis of cancer. We aimed to investigate frequency and timing selected diagnostic during year preceding an cancer diagnosis. conducted nationwide registry-based cohort study aged ≥ 18 years who were with first-time 2014−2018. included fol...

 Abstract Fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis can be either mild and self limited or create severe organ damage, but may rarely lead to abdominal opancreatic pseudotumor. We report a case of fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis which clinically simulates transverse colon cancer.

Although high dose ionizing radiation (>100 mSv) harms humans, particularly (but not exclusively) concerning cancer, the effect of lower radiation doses is less clear. Low dose radiation exposure is of societal importance in relation to screening tests for cancer and occupational radiation exposure, as two examples. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and cancer survivors undergo multiple...

The effectiveness of splanchnic nerve neurolysis (SNN) for cancer-related abdominal pain has been investigated using numeric pain intensity rating as an outcome variable. The outcome variable in this study used the grid method for obtaining a targeted pain drawing score on 60 patients with pain from pancreatic or gastro-intestinal primary cancers or metastatic disease to the abdominal region. R...

background and objective: the dbc2 (deleted in breast cancer 2) or rhobtb2 (located on 8p21) is a tumor suppressor gene associated with tumorigenesis. mutational studies of dbc2 at its promoter region in breast cancer revealed an important role for epigenetic changes contributing to its low expression. epigenetic changes through hypermethylation of the promoter can cause the inactivation of dbc...

Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor that composes of myofibroblasts that arise from musculoaponeurotic structures. It usually affects the abdominal wall but may be also found in other less common sites including the head and neck, submucosa of the oral cavity, spinal, haunch and limbs, especially, the limbs and sacrococcygeal region are rare locations. We described two cases of ...

Esophageal cancer most commonly presents with upper digestive symptoms such as dysphagia. Lymph nodes are among the most common metastatic sites of this type of cancer. We report the case of a 53-year-old man presenting with unusual sole presenting features of esophageal cancer. The patient sought medical attention for abdominal pain without dysphagia, which was first investigated with an abdom...

Lung cancer represents one of the most common malignant diseases worldwide and the major cause of cancer related deaths accounting for 25% of all cancer deaths and with a 5 years survival rate of 10-20%.1-4 Approximately 40-50% of the patients with lung cancer at the time of diagnosis present with metastatic disease.1,2,4,5 The most common sites of metastatic spread include the liver, brain, ad...

Patients will typically present symptoms of chronic post-radiation colitis and proctitis 8–12 months after finishing their treatment. Endoscopic methods play the main role treatment bleeding caused by proctitis. Surgical is required for remained approximately 10% patients. Here we a 64 year old female with metastatic breast cancer, who was referred to us intractable rectal bleeding. Total colon...
