PATTERN OF MALIGNANT TUMORS IN KERMAN PROVINCE
From March 1980 to March 1989 a total number of 2254 (7.6%) new malignant cases from Kerman province were diagnosed by examination of surgical specimens, blood films and bone marrow smears. The crude relative frequency of cancers was studied and compared with other areas of Iran.

متن کاملMicrowave ablation of malignant extremity bone tumors
BACKGROUND The current application of limb salvage process has some unsolved problems, such as prosthesis loosening, which severely limits the function of the preserved limbs. Innovative approaches are needed to further improve functional outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Instead of en-bloc resection of tumor-bearing bone, it is dissected from the surrounding normal tissues, followed by devitaliz...
متن کاملMalignant bone tumors: limb sparing versus amputation.
Amputation, once the mainstay of treatment of malignant bone tumors, now is used selectively and infrequently. Most patients are candidates for limb-sparing procedures because of effective chemotherapeutic agents and regimens, improved imaging modalities, and advances in reconstructive surgery. Patient age as well as tumor location and extent of disease help define the most appropriate surgical...
متن کاملMicrowave Ablation of Pelvic Malignant Bone Tumors
Background: A considerable percentage of primary or secondary malignancy developed from pelvis. The current widely used surgical treatment is en blot resection of tumor-bearing bone followed by reconstruction. The high rate of complication and mechanical instability often contribute to poor results. Given the poor prognosis and high mobility for pelvic malignancy, some authors think that consid...
