Case report: Down-staging locally advanced head and neck cancer in an HIV infected patient in a limited resource setting.
Introduction Head and neck cancers are a common group of malignancies. They rank sixth among the cancers, and accounting for 6% of all cancer cases globally1. In early stages the disease is highly curable with either radiotherapy or surgery, and these modalities offer equivalent survival outcomes. However, most patients up to 60% present with advanced disease which confers a poor prognosis2. Th...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT in staging patients with locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer: comparison to conventional staging.
UNLABELLED The prognosis of patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) remains poor. We prospectively investigated the impact of (18)F-FDG PET/CT at initial staging in this clinical setting and compared PET/CT performance with that of conventional distant work-up. METHODS During 60 mo, consecutive patients with LABC (clinical T4 or N2-N3 disease) underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT. The yield...
متن کاملTumor Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase Signaling and Development of Metastatic Disease in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
BACKGROUND Recognizing EGFR as key orchestrator of the metastatic process in colorectal cancer, but also the substantial heterogeneity of responses to anti-EGFR therapy, we examined the pattern of composite tumor kinase activities governed by EGFR-mediated signaling that might be implicated in development of metastatic disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Point mutations in KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA an...
متن کاملMalignant Melanoma: Staging and Treatment of Localized and Advanced Disease.
For most solid tumors, including melanoma, the most powerful predictor of recurrence and survival is the presence or absence of regional lymph node metastases. For patients with melanoma and stage III disease, the five-year survival decreases 40% compared to patients without nodal metastases. With the approval of interferon alfa-2b as the first effective adjuvant therapy for the high risk for r...
متن کاملInitial Staging of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer and Regional Lymph Nodes
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to compare diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) parameters with 18F-FDG PET/CT in primary locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS From October 2012 to September 2014, 24 patients with histologically confirmed and untreated LARC (T3-T4) prospectively underwent a pelvic 1.5-T DW-MRI (b = 0 s/mm, b = 600 s/mm2) and a whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT, before neoadjuvan...
