Rates of Positive Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs) in Re-excisions
Basal Cell CarcinomaBasal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant growth in the world. Treatment is primarily surgical with the goal of excising the growth in its entirety. When pathology results show that this has not been achieved, a re-excision is routinely performed. This study examines retrospectively the percentage of re-excisions of BCC that actually proved to be positive (exhibited growth) among those re-excisions performed at Rambam Healthcare Campus and Zvulun Community Medical Center during the years 2008-10.
Antibacterial Properties of Silicon Incorporated With Quaternary Ammonium Polyethylenimine Nanoparticles...
Carcinoma of Head and NeckThe aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of crosslinked quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles incorporated at 1-2% w/w in a commercial soft liner material when compared to the commercial soft liner material. The investigators' results in vitro showed a significant delay in bacterial growth. Therefore, the investigators assume to have the same delay in vivo- on patients.
Incidence of Cancer in Women at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer
Breast CarcinomaFallopian Tube Carcinoma2 moreThis clinical trial is studying the incidence of cancer in women at increased genetic risk of ovarian cancer. Gathering information about genetic factors in women with an increased risk of ovarian cancer over time may help doctors learn more about the disease and find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
Anatomical Resection of the Liver for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a New Ultrasound Guided Approach...
Hepatocellular CarcinomaAnatomical resection is the gold standard approach for liver resection in patients with HCC. A new method for that by means of IOUS-guided finger compression has been devised.
Tumor Growth Factors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Hepatocellular CarcinomaMalignant cells frequently produce many tumor growth factors to autocidal or endocrinal proliferate growth, metastasis,or angiogenesis about tumor cells. By studying tumor growth factors in hepatocellular carcinoma, one may know the tumor behavior, its relationship with clinical manifestation or invasion, and could be used as diagnostic or prognostic tools.This study aims to study the relationship between tumor growth factors in HCC ant its clinical relevance.
Identification of Image Phenotypes to Predict Recurrence After Resection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma...
CT Scans Prior to Surgery With a Least 2 Years of Follow-upTumor recurrence, which occurs in 70% of patients with HCC within 5 years after hepatic resection, is a major cause of post-resection-death. This recurrence can be true recurrence (intrahepatic metastases), which occurs sooner than 2 years later, or it can be due to the development of de-novo tumors at least 2 years later. Despite this high rate of tumor recurrence, no anti-recurrence adjuvant therapies are currently recommended. Imaging phenomics is the systematic, large scale extraction of imaging features for the characterization and classification of disease phenotypes. Combining imaging and tissue phenomics could be a solution to predict HCC recurrence. With the emergence of molecular therapies and immunotherapies, identifying patients with HCC at high risk of post-resection recurrence would help determine additional therapeutic and management strategies in clinical practice.
Medullary Colonic Carcinoma
Medullary Carcinoma of ColonPrognostic Factors1 moreRetrospective cohort of 10 cases of colonic adenocarcinoma of medullary type, operated between 2000 and 2020 at the University Hospital of Limoges. Collection of relevant data for this rare entity. Subgroup analysis in search of prognostic factors. Comparison of the data from our cohort with those from the literature.
Selective Omission of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Mastectomy for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ: Identifying...
Ductal Carcinoma in SituThis study aimed to assess the prevalence of upgrade to invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis in patients who were diagnosed with DCIS on biopsy and subsequently underwent mastectomy with axillary surgery to establish the need for SLNB. Furthermore, we explored the clinicopathologic features related to the upgrade to invasive breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastasis.
Hürthle Cell Carcinoma and Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma
Huerthle Cell CarcinomaThe goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate in patients with HCC and FTC who underwent lobectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: The necessity of completion thyroidectomy based on the clinicopathological characteristics Prognosis Participants underwent thyroid lobectomy Researchers compared HCC and FTC groups to see the prognosis after lobectomy.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence and Anesthesia
Hepatocellular CarcinomaThe investigators will verify the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) according to the main anesthetic agents used for the general anesthesia.
