Study design: A randomized control study assigned to involve obese patients with BMI 30 diagnosed with upper rectal carcinoma T1-4 N0-1, 181 patients assigned into two arms and operated in multi-centres in a tertiary hospitals. Ethical approval and clinical registration: Our study was submitted,

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare overall survival (OS) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin (modified [m]FOLFIRINOX) and surgery versus up-front surgery followed by

Cancer survivors are at an increased risk of bone loss due to previous cancer treatments and are at increased risk of obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore it is important for cancer survivors to adhere to an active lifestyle and good nutrition. The study proposes a single site,

Purified polyphenols extracted by table grape can decrease cell proliferation in vitro and exert anti-atherosclerotic and antithrombotic activities, regulating endothelial function. Literature studies have already evaluated the cytostatic and apoptotic effects produced by table grape extracts from

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States. Risk factors for development of endometrial cancer include increasing age, early menarche, late menopause, nulliparity, obesity, use of unopposed estrogen, and Lynch syndrome. The most common histology is endometrioid

The prostate gland is a clinically important male accessory sex gland and vital for its production of semen. Prostate cancer (PCa) is now ranked 3th in annual incidence of male cancer and ranked 5th for cancer-related death in men in Hong Kong which accounts for about 10.9 deaths per 100,000

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in the world, and its incidence in the Asia-Pacific region is increasing. While serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level remains the commonest marker for screening of the disease, its specificity is very low. As a result, many patients with

Patients with surgical site infection (SSI) of the spine have higher morbidity and mortality and higher costs of care. Hospital length of stay has been shown to be significantly longer, and readmission rate significantly higher, for infected patients than that for uninfected patients. Repeated

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by typical symptoms and signs caused by structural and/or functional cardiac abnormalities, resulting in a reduced cardiac output and/or elevated intra-cardiac pressures at rest or during stress. The prevalence of HF is

Sarcopenia, decrease lean body mass (LBM) is the well-known parameter which negatively related to physical activity, morbidity and patients survival. Aging and decreased blood androgen level are well known risk factors of sarcopenia in male population. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is commonly

INTRODUCTION Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC), first described by Pinkus and Mehregan in 1963, is a rare form of skin cancer. Its presentations very often mimics a cutaneous lesion similar to other forms of benign and malignant cutaneous neoplasms. Accurate diagnosis, optimal treatment and prognosis of

The risk. Women carrying harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene are at higher risk to develop breast and/or ovarian cancer than the general population. 12 percent of all U.S. women are going to develop breast cancer sometime during their lives (Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (eds). SEER

Obesity is the second most common cause of cancer in the United Kingdom (UK) and bowel cancer is the third most common cancer. Obesity can increase both the chance of developing bowel cancer and it's progression. Increased liver fat is likely to be important in this process, but it is not easy to

Endometrial carcinoma is the most common gynecological malignancy in the western world, and with a current incidence of 18/100.000 women per year in the European Union, it affects around 65,000 new women each year. Due to the increased life expectancy and obesity, the incidence of endometrial cancer
