Eyelid Rhabdomyosarcoma Survival In Children's Oncology Overview Survival outcomes in Orbital Rhabdomyosarcoma (ORMS) typically show excellent results, especially in low-risk cases (stage 1, group I-III, embryonal RMS). However, long-term follow-up data on low-risk ORMS and less common subgroups treated in recent Children's Oncology Group (COG) trials were previously unreported. To fill this

Acute Myeloid Leukemia And Diverse Patient Survival Outcomes
Acute Myeloid Leukemia And Diverse Patient Survival Outcomes Background Cancer remains a prominent global health concern, accounting for a significant number of cases and fatalities worldwide in 2020, with projections indicating further increases in both incidence and mortality rates, particularly in the United States. Hematologic malignancies (HMs) constitute a substantial subset of
Sarcopenia And Chronic Kidney Disease
Sarcopenia And Chronic Kidney Disease Overview Sarcopenia and frailty are common conditions among people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which may further enhance their risk of developing adverse health complications. Only a few studies have demonstrated the association between sarcopenia, frailty and chronic kidney disease in patients who are not on dialysis.
IBD: A Link To Cancer And Infection
IBD: A Link To Cancer And Infection Individuals diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face higher susceptibility to malignancy and infection when compared to the general population. The primary objective of this study was to identify and describe risk factors associated with malignancy or serious infection in patients with IBD, with a
Renal Transplant Risks With Prostate Cancer
Renal Transplant Risks With Prostate Cancer Overview Renal transplant candidates are recommended to undergo a systematic screening for prostate cancer at the time of listing. It is a growing concern that low-risk prostate cancer diagnosis may lead to reduced access to renal transplant services without any significant oncological benefit. The aim of this
Urothelial Carcinoma – Ureteral and Renal Pelvic Tumors
Urothelial Carcinoma - Ureteral and Renal Pelvic Tumors Overview Ureteropelvic and renal pelvic carcinoma have similar origins, however, variations in genetic and clinical parameters makes them two distinct conditions. The single-center data obtained for the molecular subtypes and characteristics of the two muscle-invasive tumors were validated using clinical data from the Surveillance,
Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Case Of Metastasis to the Tonsils
Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Case Of Metastasis to the Tonsils Overview Tonsillar metastases of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) are very rare. There are as few as five documented and published cases. In this report, we present a case of palatine tonsillar Merkel cell carcinoma metastases in a patient who did not show
Maternal Migraines And Associated Pediatric Cancers
Maternal Migraines And Associated Pediatric Cancers Overview Maternal migraines are seen to be associated with unfavorable birth outcomes such as congenital malformations in babies, preterm births and infant low birth weight. It has been hypothesized that these unfavorable or adverse birth outcomes may be due to the intake of certain medications during
Pediatric Neuroblastoma Diagnosis Using Urinary Catecholamine Metabolites
Pediatric Neuroblastoma Diagnosis Using Urinary Catecholamine Metabolites Overview Urinary catecholamine metabolite analysis is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of neuroblastoma. There is currently no agreement with regard to the method of sampling and variable catecholamine metabolite combinations being utilized. In this study, we assessed the reliability of spot urine samples in
Melanoma Diagnosis Without Biopsy
Melanoma Diagnosis Without Biopsy Overview Alternatives to photographic surveillance in the diagnosis of melanoma are increasingly used in dermatology practice. Traditional surveillance is done in place of photographic surveillance in the diagnosis of melanoma. This retrospective study featured melanomas which were diagnosed by three different dermatologists who have had private practice of over
