Approximately 10% to 15% of patients with stage I/II invasive breast cancer will develop a clinically isolated local recurrence. The standard management of an ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence following breast-conserving surgery and radiation is salvage mastectomy, while local excision and radiation are optimal treatment of a chest wall recurrence following initial mastectomy. Although there ...

Background: Patients with T1 T2 N0 mouth or tongue cancer that has been confirmed by a doctor may choose to have neck dissection. Some say nodal return of original tumor is well controlled, while others salvage more often the exception than rule. Objective: To determine likelihood recurrence in early carcinoma without Methods: The prospective cross-sectional clinical study was conducted from Ma...

Abstract Objects:Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) isa locally aggressive lesion with unpredictable behavior. Here, we aim to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, clinical and functional outcome of GCTB in a relatively large series of patients. Methods:Patients with the diagnosis of GCTB were included in this retrospective study.Surgical options included extended curettage wh...

OBJECTIVES The clinical significance of positive surgical margin (PSM) after a Nephron Sparing Surgery (NSS) is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between PSM and the risk of disease recurrence in patients with pT1 kidney tumors who underwent NSS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective cohort study. A total of 314 patients submitted to a NSS due to stage pT1 rena...

BACKGROUND Low-grade endometrial sarcoma is a rare gynecological tumor (0.2% of female genital tract tumors) mainly observed in women before their 50's. PATIENTS AND METHODS The authors present a series of 10 patients followed in two institutions and describe the treatment administered (cytoreductive surgery, i.e. bilateral annexectomy and total hysterectomy, and medical treatments) and the f...

Gastric tube after esophagectomy can be the site of local recurrence or the development of second primary tumor which implies poor prognosis. The study presents an extremely rare case of a patient after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for squamous cell carcinoma, in whom there was detected local recurrence in the anastomosis associated with metachronous primary tumor in gastric tube. Esophageal rerese...

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) particularly testicular origin is a rare benign mesenchymal myxoid tumor which is locally aggressive, blatant for local recurrence, and may metastasize. It occurs mostly in females of childbearing age and extremely rare in males. AMM particular testicular origin is not reported in literature yet. This is a 65-year-old man who had a right scrotal swelling. Ultrasound...

OBJECTIVES We reviewed our experience with partial cystectomy to assess local control and survival rates, and to identify pathologic predictors for recurrence. METHODS From 1995 to 2005, 25 patients with urothelial carcinoma underwent partial cystectomy with curative intent. As protocol, patients with primary solitary muscle-invasive bladder tumors underwent preoperative localized radiotherap...

juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (jna) is a rare, benign and locally invasive tumor. massive bleeding because of vascularity of tumor and postoperative recurrence are potential problems of management. endonasal approach reduces the rate of postoperative recurrence, intraoperative bleeding, and complications of surgery, time of operation and duration of hospitalization. in this article, we r...
