Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer, second in women, and fourth leading cause of death world. Radical surgical treatment with Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) considered best for found lower rectum has benefits complete tumor removal to reduce risk recurrence improve survival. Advances preoperative chemoradiation therapy have increased chances achieving a 1 cm distal margin allowe...

We detected two cases of right atrial angiosarcoma that had a similar appearance on imaging studies. Although the surgical findings were similar for the two patients, one had a clear resection margin, while the other had tumor cells in the resection margin on frozen biopsy. We suggest that preoperative data on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography in patients with angiosarcomas may...

The value of ultrasonography and UGAB for diagnosing chest wall tumors was investigated in 21 patients of whom 13 had metastatic and eight benign disease. Chest wall tumor showed a hypoechoic mass with tapered edges. The margin between the tumor and lung was curved and smooth in all cases. Movement of the tumor during breathing was synchronized with that of the chest wall. We believe that the u...

INTRODUCTION Basal cell carcinoma is the most common tumor of the eyelid. In this region, reconstruction is complex and damage to healthy tissue should be minimal. OBJECTIVE To define the relationship between margin clearance at excision and the recurrence rate of basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid. METHODS This prospective study was conducted with 111 patients submitted to surgery for basa...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to present our experience with rhomboid flap reconstruction, which is a simple technique, in breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 13 patients with breast cancer who underwent rhomboid flap reconstruction. The patients were evaluated for tumor size, safe surgical margin, and other clinical and pathological...

This is a retrospective study which aims to identify major determinants of successful laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) versus abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) performed by inexperienced surgeons for stage IA2-IIA cervical cancer. A total of 161 consecutive patients with stage IA2-IIA cervical cancer who underwent RH were grouped into 2 groups according to the surgeons' experience wit...

Post-interventional diagnosis indicated hidradenocarcinoma. Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare skin neoplasm. It can coincide with adenoma, may develop through its malignant transformation or develop as a malignant...

Results: The median tumor basal diameter was 5.0 mm and thickness was 1.5 mm. Nevus growth into melanoma occurred in 2%, 9%, and 13% of eyes at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. Factors predictive of growth into melanoma by multivariable analysis included tumor thickness greater than 2 mm (P .001), subretinal fluid (P = .002), symptoms (P = .002), orange pigment (P .001), tumor margin within 3 ...
