Although colorectal cancer is often considered as a single entity, initial management and staging of colorectal cancers differ depending on whether the primary tumor is located in the rectum or the colon. The rectum is short (approximately 15 cm) and very close to other structures, with only a narrow margin of fat between the rectal wall and the mesorectal fascia. In addition, unlike the colon,...

Ovarian cancer represents one of the cancers with the worst prognostic in adult women. More than half of the patients who present with clinical signs such as abdominal bloating and a feeling of fullness already show advanced stages. The majority of ovarian cancers grow as cystic masses, and cancer cells easily spread into the pelvic cavity once the cysts rupture or leak. When the ovarian cancer...

most bladder tumors are epithelial in origin. nonepithelial cancers are rarely located in the bladder. sarcomas are the most common malignancies among nonepithelial cancers. primary bladder lymphoma is rare and mostly low grade. here, we have reported a case of diffuse large cell lymphoma of the bladder. the patient, a 64-year-old man, had urinary frequency for 18 months. abdominal sonography i...

Pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), a specific trypsin inhibitor secreted by acinar cells of pancreas, also acts as a growth factor. PSTI in various cancers has been reported to be associated with tumor invasiveness and pathological malignancy; however, such studies in urological cancers have not yet been performed. We therefore examined the expression of PSTI in fresh frozen specime...

PURPOSE Iatrogenic events are more likely to occur during surgical treatment of malignant conditions. Gynecologic and colorectal cancers account for most of the cases that require surgical treatment within the pelvic area. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of intraoperative accidents and the most frequently encountered injuries during surgery for cancers of the pelvic area....

background & objectives: colon cancer is currently of high incidence and mortality rate. identifying the factors influencing its prognosis can be very beneficial to its clinical treatment. recent studies have shown that lymph nodes ratio can be considered as an important prognostic factor. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of this factor on the prognosis of the patie...

fractures through the sacroiliac joint are very challenging to treat, technically difficult to reduce through closed methods on account of the multiaxial displacement of fractures fragments, frequently occur in very unwell patients, and have poor outcomes if malreduction is present. we describe a technique utilising the lateral window and a short buttress plate to reduce and stabilize the fragm...
