background and aim: carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a significant cause of mortality because of malignancy in women. radiotherapy is a major treatment modality for invasive cervical cancer with good treatment outcome in early-stage patients. however, substantial treatment failures still occur in the advanced-stage patients. in this case report a long term follow up of a 58 years old woman wi...

Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is the gold standard surgical treatment for localized clinically significant prostate cancer. In patients undergone previous abdominal or pelvic surgery, it can be difficult to perform and also contraindicated execution of radiotherapy. We have described step-by-step first case RARP performed with robotic system HugoTM RAS in a patient ...

Abdominal wall metastasis either incisional, drain, or port is rather rare in patients treated for cervical carcinoma. We present a case of a patient who underwent an abdominal radical hysterectomy for a moderately differentiated cervical adenocarcinoma stage Ib1 and presented an incisional site metastasis 36 months after her operation. Moreover, we performed a literature search for abdominal w...

Non-traumatic rupture of the urinary bladder is termed “spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder”. Although this disorder is relatively rare, when the bladder ruptures into the abdominal cavity, urine leaking into the abdominal cavity leads to the development of urinary peritonitis. We encountered seven patients with spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder at our institution between 1987 a...

A 63-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a tender abdominal wall mass about 15 cm in diameter, which she had for 1 month. About 1 week earlier, the patient had also perceived a mass in the neck area. Computed tomography revealed huge thyroid and periumbilical masses. The thyroid hormone levels were consistent with a hyperthyroid state. Pathological examination of the thyroid mass ...

Breast reconstruction after complex oncological treatment is an urgent issue due to the high incidence of breast cancer.
 Aim. To analyze effect postoperative radiotherapy on fat necrosis in single-stage autologous with a DIEP flap and evaluate number complications groups without radiotherapy, as well determine risk factors for complications.

Primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the lung is highly aggressive and quite rare. We report here a case of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive endobronchial ALCL, that was initially thought to be primary lung cancer. A 68-year-old woman presented with hemoptysis, dyspnea, and upper respiratory symptoms persisting since 1 month. The hemoptysis and and bronchial obstruction lead to r...

: A 62-year-old man was referred to our center with a sarcoma of his left chest wall ingrowth into the pericardium and transdiaphragmatically abdomen. The diagnostic delay for patient extensive, at approximately 3.5 years. Judging by tumor size local ingrowth, on first examination, we considered this be borderline resectable. treated induction radiotherapy, resulting in relief pain but no radio...

The current study presents the case of a 68-year-old female patient who received biological intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BIMRT) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy for multiple peritoneal metastases of ovarian cancer. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics disease stage was IIIc. In addition, the patient presented with urination and defecation difficulties. The result of tumor ...

A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several tumour types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003; 42: 357-365). This synthesis of the literature on radiation therapy for ovarian cancer is based on data from six randomized trials. Moreove...
