this study was done in research institute of nuclear medicine from 1988-1992 for evaluation of the value of serum thyroglobulin level in comparison with 1-131 whole body scan (1-131 wbs) in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. 204 patients who had total or near total thyroidectomy treated with 1-131 were evaluated in this study. out of 204 patients 136 did not have regional or distan...

Objective: Cancer represents the second cause of mortality in the world. Saffron as a medicinal plant is known for its anti-cancer and anti-depressant properties. In this randomized double blind clinical trial, the effects of saffron on response to treatment in patients suffering from liver metastasis were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients suffering from liver metastases who r...

metastatic skin cancer is a rare complication of internal malignancies.  patients who develop cutaneous metastases rarely present with a zosteriform distribution.  herein, we describe a 65-year-old woman with a prior history of breast cancer in whom zosteriform metastases developed along her left t 8-9 abdominal dermatomes.

Metachronous oligo-metastatic disease is variably defined as one to five metastases detected after a disease-free interval and treatment of the primary tumour with curative intent. Oligo-metastases in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are often treated However additional later time, 5-year survival low. Burdensome surgical patients undetected may be avoided if high versus low risk can separate...

it has been observed that lung cancer either non-small cell or small cell is responsible for eye metastases. this form of metastases in several cases was the first manifestation of the disease and further investigation led to the diagnosis of the underlying malignancy. both types of lung cancer are equally responsible for this demonstration. furthermore; both chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase in...

malignant melanoma has the heart metastasis rate of 50 - 71%, which seems to be the highest among other malignancies. when a patient presents with cardiac metastases of melanoma, the disease has already spread through the body and therefore hardly curable. this brief review tried to introduce this important condition and discuss its frequency, presentation, diagnosis, histologic findings and tr...

On the cut surface of the uterus as well as heart wall, white firm masses with a cauliflower- like surface was observed. No other important gross lesions were found in other organs. In histopathological examination of the uterus typical microscopic changes were those of adenocarcinoma....

  Introduction: Almost all malignant tumors have the potential to eventually produce bone metastasis. The aim of the current study was to report the distribution pattern and imaging characteristics of bone metastases detected by conventional whole body bone scintigraphy in patients with different types of malignancies and to assess their relationship with the complain...
