In patients with prostate cancer who have a high risk of pelvic nodal disease, the use elective whole pelvis radiotherapy is still controversial. Two large, randomised, controlled trials (RTOG 9413 and GETUG-01) did not show benefit over prostate-only radiotherapy. 2020, POP-RT trial established role in more than 35% lymph node invasion (known as Roach formula). stressed importance patient sele...

Abstract Background The NBOCA 2019 showed an overall 10.8% of patients had unplanned readmission within 30 days surgery (for both elective and emergency colonic resection (NBOCA, 2019). Aim To identify readmissions rates after colorectal cancer in our hospital comparing it to 2019. Identifying reasons for readmissions. Method A single centre, retrospective, observational study was performed bet...

BACKGROUND Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are rare mesenchymal tumors occurring in various anatomic regions. Although diagnostic criteria and treatment management are not established, current treatment options consist of surgery and chemotherapy including mTOR inhibitors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a non-invasive ablative treatment which has shown excellent co...

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor. Here we present a case of a primary extraskeletal osteosarcoma arising from omentum majus in a 40-year-old Chinese woman. Ultrasonography of the pelvic cavity showed a large soft tissue mass with marked calcification. Complete surgical resection of the primary tumor was performed and the histopathological diagnosis was extraskele...

Renal cell carcinoma is infrequent in children; consequently it is important to communicate its diagnosis and follow up. The behaviour of this type of tumor is better characterized in adults and in this setting the treatment of choice is surgical resection. However, the place of chemo- and radiotherapy has not been well defined. Here, we present a 9-year-old boy with renal cell carcinoma demons...

introduction low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (lg-ess) is a malignant intrauterine tumor that rarely presents with distant metastasis. simultaneous lung and cardiac metastases from lg-ess is also an extremely rare event. case presentation a 42-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and exercise intolerance. she had a history of hysterectomy and left salpingoophorectomy. she underwent second...

objective: to report involvement of the central nervous system (cns) following epithelial ovarian cancer is rare. advances in management of ovarian cancer by use of primary surgery including abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo'oophorectomy should attain as complete a cytoreduction as possible and effective platinum-based chemotherapy have prolonged survival. case report: we present a cas...

Radiation is a treatment of many gynecologic malignancies, especially locally-advanced cervical cancer. Development of second malignancies is a rare complication of radiotherapy. Our patient had uterine carsinosarcoma20 years after radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Two theories of radiationinduced malignancies were described: direct damage of double strand DNA and the abscopal or indirect damag...

The results of treatment by infradiaphragmatic lymph node irradiation and orchiectomy in 232 patients with Stage I testicular seminoma seen between 1963 and 1983 are reported. Of this group, only five (2%) patients relapsed and none died from seminoma. Contralateral testicular tumours occurred in 12 patients and five developed second non-testicular malignancies. The acute and late morbidity of ...

Low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare disease. LGESS usually expresses steroidal receptors and is regarded to be hormone-sensitive. Due to the rarity of the tumor, only few case series have been published so far. Here, we report the case of a 36-year-old woman who underwent an abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy for a G1 LGESS ...
