cancer of the stomach carries poor prognosis. surgery is the best treatment for gastric cancer. prediction of survival depends on the stage at the time of presentation. fluoroscopy, sonography, and computerized tomography are used for advanced gastric cancers staging, but they are not accurate enough to grade advanced gastric cancers. laparoscopic findings of lesions under direct vision, are ma...

BACKGROUND Abdominal symptoms are diagnostically challenging to general practitioners (GPs): although common, they may indicate cancer. In a prospective cohort of patients, we examined abdominal symptom frequency, initial diagnostic suspicion, and actions of GPs in response to abdominal symptoms. METHODS Over a 10-day period, 493 GPs in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, and S...

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is the cornerstone of treating advanced ovarian cancer. Approximately 60–70% patients with cancer will have involvement in upper abdomen or supracolic compartment abdominal cavity. Though this region results poorer survival compared, complete cytoreduction benefits overall survival, making upper-abdominal an essential component CRS for The constitutes several vital o...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate noninvasive bioluminescence imaging methods for differentially monitoring primary and abdominal metastatic tumor growth in mouse orthotopic models of pancreatic cancer. METHODS A semiautomated maximum entropy segmentation method was implemented for the primary tumor region of interest, and a rule-based method for manually...

A 49 year old man with previous history of colectomy for colon cancer was referred to our department for further evaluation of suspicious hepatic lesions noticed during an abdominal CT scan. 99mTc-RBC scan revealed multiple hot spots in the region of the liver, correlating to the CT and liver-spleen scan. Further follow-ups of the patient revealed no remarkable change in the size or numbe...

The most common metastasis site of breast cancer are the local and distant lymph nodes, bone, lungs, liver and brain. We report a 86-year-old woman with an unusual abdominal subcutaneous metastasis of breast cancer. The patient was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer and had been treated six months earlier with modified radical mastectomy. Later she presented a painless mass on the mi...

Abstract Abdominal wall metastases are rarely seen in primary colorectal cancer; the majority of cases attributed to seeding from previous procedures. We report a case percutaneous cryoablation metastatic cancer abdominal with no evidence recurrence 1 year later.
