Multicentric Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Stratification for Treatment

Tumor stage is the main prognosticator of differentiated thyroid carcinomas, but it needs further stratification for multicentric neoplasms (most frequently papillary thyroid carcinomas, PTC), which frequently present as foci smaller than 1cm and are considered by default as high-risk tumors. Not all cases of multicentric PTC should be considered of high risk and they should be stratified to av...

Colon carcinoma metastases with extension to chest wall and pericardium

Management of locally advanced colon cancer metastases is challenging and operation carries an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The knowledge of exact sites of involvement can aid the surgeon to make a decision regarding complete resection or palliative therapy. PET/CT scan is an advantage in this setting because metabolic alterations often precede the anatomic changes; moreover, it c...

Treatment of Colon Carcinoma Tumors by Electrolysis: Effect of Electrical Dose and Polarity

Introduction: As a physical treatment, electrochemical therapy (ECHT) has provided an effective and useful  approach  for  treating  localized  tumors.  The  chemical  changes  due  to  a  direct  electric  current  destroy  the  tumor. This study evaluates the effect of electrical dose and polarity on the efficacy of the treatment of a  colon tumor model.  Materials and Methods: In order to in...
