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...

background: electrochemotherapy is a relatively new technique in the treatment of skin metastases that are not amenable to conventional therapy. its use in breast cancer is now established in many european centers. methods: published literature of electrochemotherapy in terms of its scientific basis, current clinical practice of breast cancer treatment providers, as well as the future direction...

background : cutaneous metastasis is defined as the spread of malignant cells from a primary malignancy to the skin. generally, cutaneous involvement from internal malignancies is uncommon. no reports have focused on the cutaneous metastasis profiles in egypt or the middle eastern population. in this study, we seek to determine the rates at which different internal malignancies give rise to cut...

Abstract Background It is reported that appropriately 50% of early breast cancer patients with 1–2 positive sentinel lymph node (SLN) micro-metastases could not benefit from axillary dissection (ALND) or breast-conserving surgery whole irradiation. However, whether SLN macro-metastases ALND remains unknown. The aim our study was to develop and validate nomograms for assessing non-SLN metastases...

Introduction: Involvement of the skeleton can cause an excruciating pain in two-thirds of terminal patients with a history of malignancy. Due to several limitations of other therapies, such as analgesics, bisphosphonates, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and external beam radiotherapy; bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have an important role in palliation of pain from bone metastases. Although th...

Evaluation of calcified metastatic lesions by conventional imaging can be challenging. Ovarian cancer metastases can present with calcification which might increase in size and number following therapy. It is not entirely clear whether these calcifications are associated with tumor response or disease progression. Calcified lesions which do not change in size or configuration are particularly p...

Management of locally advanced colon cancer metastases is challenging and operation carries an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The knowledge of exact sites of involvement can aid the surgeon to make a decision regarding complete resection or palliative therapy. PET/CT scan is an advantage in this setting because metabolic alterations often precede the anatomic changes; moreover, it c...

Dural metastases are rare intracranial tumors. They not sufficiently studied and there still no specific methods to detect them. Differential diagnosis is difficult only the histologic examination allows a sure diagnosis. We reviewed data records from 2016 2020 of patients treated for dural metastases. included with complete anamnestic history, both known unknown primitive cancer. Collected wer...

AIM To determine the frequency of visually asymptomatic choroidal metastasis in patients with disseminated breast cancer and its dependence on the incidence of metastasis by number and site of other organ metastases. METHODS From January 1995 until April 1997 120 patients irradiated for disseminated breast cancer underwent ophthalmological screening for choroidal metastasis. No patient was sy...
