conclusions the authors emphasize on the rarity of this pathology among children, its clinical polymorphism, the necessity of a rapid diagnosis, and an appropriate treatment to avoid complications and recurrence of the tumor. introduction right atrial myxoma is a rare disease among children and its clinical presentation is not specific. case presentation we reported a four-year-old girl with ex...

Esophageal cancer is a lethal disease with poor survival rate. It is necessary to determine the extension, and the stage of the tumor to predict the outcome of patients. Of the two common pathologic types, squamous cell carcinoma is still the most common form, and adenocarcinoma is the leading one. Early diagnosis and radical treatment of esophageal cancer, regardless of tumor spreading, increa...

Background: To determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Thirty one patients with IIIA/IIIB NSCLC underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 Gy. On our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...

background: preoperative determination of the extent of viable residual tumor is an important issue after neoadjuvant treatment. on the other hand, retrospective data suggest that breast-conserving surgery is feasible up to stage iiia breast cancer without preoperative therapy. methods: we retrospectively analyzed 164 patients who underwent breastconserving surgery followed by adjuvant chemothe...

Recent studies suggest that Denosumab reduces tumor size, therefore, makes the surgery easier with lowermorbidity. However, some studies have reported several complications for this drug. So, this systematic reviewwas performed to determine the effectiveness and safety of Denosumab in reducing bone destructions activity ofgiant cell tumor and skeletal-related events (SRE) in affected patients w...

primary and secondary malignant central nervous system (cns) tumors are devastating invasive tumors able to give rise to many kinds of differentiated tumor cells. glioblastoma multiform (gbm), is the most malignant brain tumor, in which its growth and persistence depend on cancer stem cells with enhanced dna damage repair program that also induces recurrence and resists current chemo- and radio...

conclusions we described a rare case of a usually aggressive thyroid angiosarcoma in a patient living in a non-alpine region, with an unusual favorable outcome after the operation and radiotherapy. case presentation an asymptomatic 61-year-old woman presented with a right lobe thyroid nodule with fine needle aspiration cytology indicating “suspicious for malignancy” was reported in our study. h...

Recently, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), in particular the gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, generally considered as tumor markers for clinical applications. A longitudinal 2-years follow-up survey was performed on dogs with cutaneous tumor. Serum samples were obtained from 22 dogs with different cutaneous tumors and 22 health dogs at the time of surgery and one month, three months and one year af...

the value of clinical use of tumor markers cea and ca15-3 for early detection of recurrent breast cancer still is a controversial. this study was investigated relationship between tumor markers cea and ca15-3 and recurrence breast cancer. data regarding 147 women who had breast cancer were entered into the study. patients were reviewed for 120 months after treatment. maximum time for relapse wa...
