Optimal approach for upfront resectable non-small-cell lung cancer
Approximately one third of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with resectable disease, defined as clinical stages I and II and some borderline stage III extensions (e.g. T3N0–1). Although radical resection is the cornerstone of treatment in adequately staged patients, its outcome is not always curative, as some patients might be functionally inoperable, refuse surgery, hav...
متن کاملAggressive approach to complicated appendicitis in children
Objective(s): Appendicitis remains the most common condition in the pediatric population requiring emergency abdominal operation. Management of acute simple appendicitis is well described but controversy remains as to the optimal treatment of complicated appendicitis. Common complications of acute appendicitis include: localized peritonitis and abscess formation, flegmon and general perito...
متن کاملalpha-Amylase in resectable lung cancer.
Biochemical analysis and immunohistochemical techniques support the theory that hyperamylasaemia in lung cancer is due to amylase production in carcinoma cells. The vast majority of amylase-producing carcinomas are adenocarcinomas with amylase isoenzyme similar to the salivary type. This prospective study assesses alpha-amylase expression in resectable lung cancer. Seventy four patients with re...
متن کاملDual intervention to improve pathologic staging of resectable lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Detection of lymph node metastasis is of immense prognostic value in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but routine pathologic nodal staging is suboptimal. To determine the impact on the rate of detection of nodal metastasis, we tested dual intervention with a prelabeled lymph node specimen collection kit to improve intraoperative node dissection and a fasti...
متن کاملApproach to the surgical management of resectable gastric cancer.
The rates of gastric cancer, which is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, vary depending on geographic location. Margin-negative gastrectomy and adequate lymphadenectomy (removal of ≥15 lymph nodes) are the cornerstones of multimodal treatment for operable gastric cancer. Diagnostic laparoscopy should be included in the armamentarium for newly diagnosed gastric cancer in...
