OBJECTIVE
To examine late vaginal mucosal reactions in patients following interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) compared with that of intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT).
METHODS
We introduced a modified Dische score to examine late reactions in vaginal mucosa of patients with gynecological cancer who
OBJECTIVE
To assess actual rates of late vaginal stenosis and identify predisposing factors for complications among patients with previously untreated cervical cancer following high-dose-rate brachytherapy.
METHODS
We performed longitudinal analyses of 57 patients using the modified Dische score at
Certain autonomic variables have been shown to be responsive to motion induced nausea and vomiting. Here we report preliminary data on changes in heart rate, blood volume pulse, pallor and skin temperature assessed during a one hour period at baseline, a one hour period of peak nausea, and a one
We present the case of a 61-year-old woman with cecum cancer, ileal and multiple hepatic metastases, and peritoneal dissemination. Surgery (right hemicolectomy) was performed on December 2013. After surgery, 7 courses of mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab were administered. In May 2014, 4 minutes after
BACKGROUND
Guidelines describing symptoms in children that should alert GPs to consider cancer have been developed, but without any supporting primary-care research.
OBJECTIVE
To identify symptoms and signs in primary care that strongly increase the likelihood of childhood cancer, to assist GPs in
The aim of this study is to assess clinico-pathological parameters and find out the correlation between them and their possible prognostic value. We made a retrospective analysis of a group of 468 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma which were operated in the 3rd Surgical Clinic--Cluj
This paper draws attention towards 3 cases with different pathologies all of which suggesting however both clinically and by imaging means as the most likely diagnosis advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer since all these three postmenopausal women had been admitted to the hospital with ascites,
We write to report a rare case of unilateral cancer-associated retinopathy previously undocumented in the literature. Cancer-associated retinopathy is an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome. It is characterised by retinal antigen autoantibodies causing rod and cone dysfunction and abnormal
The present study reports the diagnostic utility of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNAC) in two patients affected by gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) of the stomach. Clinically, the patients demonstrated skin pallor, melena, gastric discomfort and pain that had
A 13-year-old boy who had epigastric pain and pallor for 2 months and found to have an ulcerative mass in the stomach and underwent partial gastrectomy. A diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT) of the stomach was made on histological examination. Three years later, recurrence in the
BACKGROUND
The term "noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features" (NIFTP) has replaced a subset of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma due to the indolent behavior of such tumors. NIFTPs are most often classified in an "indeterminate" diagnostic
We reviewed the Tumor Registry for 1981 at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to identify all the children with newly diagnosed cancer who were seen initially in the emergency department (ED). Of the 220 new patients listed, 16 (7.3%) sought initial care in the ED (1 per 4,500 ED visits). Seven
Studies on Ehrlich ascites tumor cells enriched in different cell cycle compartments by centrifugal elutriation have shown that after exclusion of oxygen, G1- and early S-phase cells are restricted from further cell cycle progression. On addition of a balanced mixture of deoxypyrimidine and
Dyspnea is a subjective sensation of breathlessness. This distressing symptom is experienced by many patients with lung cancer and often is accompanied by physiologic signs and symptoms, such as tachypnea, tachycardia, pallor, and cyanosis. Dyspnea-induced hypoxia may occur and cause confusion,
