PURPOSE To report consecutive esotropia in contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for recurrent intermittent exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection and to evaluate the surgical outcome of modified contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medi...

BACKGROUND Metastases to the pancreas are rare, accounting for less then 2% of all pancreatic malignancies. However, both the benefit of extended tumor resection and the ideal oncological approach have not been established for such cases; therefore, we evaluated patients with metastasis to the pancreas who underwent pancreatic resection. METHODS Between 1994 and 2012, 676 patients underwent p...

Background and Importance: The extent of resection seems a solid prognostic factor in patients suffering from high-grade gliomas (HGGs). When administered orally, 5-ALA is exclusively converted by malignant cells into protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), identifying contrast-enhancing glial lesions under blue 400-nm light. The authors thoroughly assess the efficacy, accuracy, and safety profile of 5-ALA-g...

The treatment options for patients with melanoma have expanded significantly over the past decade. In particular, use of targeted therapy and immunotherapy has dramatically transformed outlook advanced disease. These treatments are now being utilised as adjuvant earlier stage after surgical resection. We review latest updates staging, resection, radiotherapy systemic therapies.

OBJECTIVE To identify preoperative characteristics associated with complete surgical resection of primary malignant mediastinal tumors. METHODS Between 1996 and 2006, 42 patients with primary malignant mediastinal tumors were submitted to surgery with curative intent at a single facility. Patient charts were reviewed in order to collect data related to demographics, clinical manifestation, ch...

BACKGROUND In instances of high-risk neuroblastoma that do not show a clinical response to induction therapy, whether it is worth performing surgical resection or not and whether gross total resection (GTR) is more important than subtotal resection (STR) remain controversial. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with stage 4 neuroblastoma aged 18 months or older at diagnos...
