Colorectal Cancer: A Nomogram To Predict Metastases
Colorectal Cancer: A Nomogram To Predict Metastases Overview This study addresses the imperative task of identifying risk factors associated with distant metastasis in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), aiming to enhance understanding of its etiology and facilitate preventive treatments. The research, utilizing data from EOCRC patients in the SEER database (2010-2015), seeks to
Tongue Tumor Staging Using Artificial Intelligence
Tongue Tumor Staging Using Artificial Intelligence Overview This study addresses the critical issue of misdiagnosis in determining the stage of tongue tumor development, which can lead to varied treatment approaches and hinder patients from receiving appropriate care. The research aims to establish an automatic recognition system for different stages of tongue tumors,
Busulfan Exposure And Malignancy Risk
Busulfan Exposure And Malignancy Risk Overview The occurrence of secondary malignancies linked to busulfan exposure is deemed low but remains insufficiently characterized. Given the rising use of this alkylating agent in pre-gene therapy conditioning for nonmalignant hematologic disorders, a more precise understanding of busulfan's potential contribution to subsequent malignancy risk is essential.
Thromboembolism Risk In Pregnant Oncology Patients
Thromboembolism Risk In Pregnant Oncology Patients Overview This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in pregnant individuals with active malignancy compared to those without malignancy. The study, based on seven cohort studies encompassing 5,928 individuals with both active malignancy and pregnancy, yielded the following key findings:
Testicular Cancer And Psychological Distress
Testicular Cancer And Psychological Distress In 2020, testicular cancer (TC) affected 74,458 men, representing 0.4% of global cancer cases. Predominant among young men of European descent, TC's primary treatment involves orchiectomy, boasting a substantial 95% 5-year survival rate. However, the aftermath includes enduring psychological distress, with 20% of men grappling with emotional
Gastric Xanthoma And Gastric Cancer Risk
Gastric Xanthoma And Gastric Cancer Risk Gastric cancer stands as a formidable global threat, ranking among the top cancers in incidence and mortality. Amidst known risk factors like dietary habits and infections, a lesser-known player, gastric xanthoma (GX), emerges as a potential link to this complex puzzle. This study delves into
Spontaneous Bladder Rupture In Bladder Cancer Patients
Spontaneous Bladder Rupture In Bladder Cancer Patients Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is an uncommon yet severe condition in which the bladder wall tears, occurring without any associated trauma or instrumentation. This means that the bladder, without any external force or medical procedure, experiences a tear or perforation. The rarity
Prostate Cancer Detection Using Urine Glycoproteins
Prostate Cancer Detection Using Urine Glycoproteins Overview In a recent study, researchers investigated the potential of using pre-digital rectal examination (DRE) urine specimens to detect aggressive prostate cancer (AG-PCa) by comparing glycoproteins found in pre- and post-DRE urine samples. The study involved 154 pre-DRE urine specimens from individuals with no cancer at
lung cancer patients and pulmonary embolism risk factors
lung cancer patients and pulmonary embolism risk factors Overview Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a grave complication observed in individuals afflicted with lung cancer. This investigation aimed to ascertain the risk factors and evaluate the clinical attributes of advanced lung cancer patients who develop PE. In this research, a retrospective assessment was conducted on
