Introduction: 99mTc-MIBI has been proposed for use as an imaging agent for various tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanomas and brain neoplastic lesions. Brain tumors are very common and radiotherapy being major part of treatment following surgery. After radiotherapy, deteriorating clinical status can be due to either radiation necrosis or recurrent tumor. Comput...

Patients with pT1aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) generally have good prognosis, and recurrence is rare. However, metastasis develops postoperatively in a small number of patients with pT1aN0M0 RCC. The present study was undertaken to identify predictors for recurrence in patients with pT1aN0M0 RCC. We reviewed the clinicopathological factors of 133 patients with pT1aN0M0 RCC who underwent radi...

background: phyllodes tumors are uncommon neoplasms of the breast. data about their outcome is limited. this study aims to evaluate patients diagnosed with phyllodes tumors in terms of local recurrence, distant metastasis and overall survival. methods: we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 129 women with phyllodes tumors who referred to our center from 1999 to 2013. clinical and pa...

Introduction: Advanced quantitative information such as radiomics features derived from magnetic resonance (MR) image may be useful for outcome prediction, prognostic models or response biomarkers in Glioblastoma (GBM). The main aim of this study was to evaluate MRI radiomics features for recurrence prediction in glioblastoma multiform.   Materials and Methods:</str...

Background: Purpose of this study was to evaluate various parameters of meningioma after surgical treatment and analyze predictive factors for recurrence. Methods: During 1992-2007, 353 patients were operated for intracranial meningioma in our department. They were followed since, and related data were combined with parameters such as tumor histology (WHO system), tumor location and the extent ...

Background: Colorectal carcinoma is the third most common cause of death in Iran. This study was performed in order to determine the appropriate distal clearance margin (DCM) for resection of rectal cancer in patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for sphincter preserving procedure. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Shahid Faghihi Hospital of Shira...

Desmoid tumor is a rare soft tissue and accounts less than 1% of retroperitoneal tumor. It pathologically benign tumor, while clinical behavior aggressive, showing high rate local recurrence. consists spindle cell, collagen myxoid matrix thus it shows diverse imaging patterns according to its composition. In this case report, surgically diagnosed desmoid presented.

conclusions nbi cystoscopy improved the detection rate. although false positives were more common with nbi, this was not statistically significant. nbi found additional aggressive tumors, which underscores the impact of detection in eortc recurrence risk scoring. results fifty patients, aged 63.86 ± 10.05 years, were enrolled. the overall detection rate was 98.9% for nbi vs. 89.4% for wli (p = ...
