Clinicopathological features of resected pediatric congenital lung and mediastinal lesions: A single institution experience.

Objectives: To evaluate resected congenital lung and mediastinal lesions among children and their characteristics in a single tertiary hospital.

Methods: A retrospective chart review analysis of all patients under 14 years of age who underwent congenital lung and mediastinal lesion resection in a single tertiary center from June 1997 to June 2018 was performed.

Results: In total, 108 cases of resected lung and mediastinal lesions were performed from June 1997 to June 2018.

Health-Related Predictors of Quality of Life in Cancer Patients in Saudi Arabia.

Research on Saudi Arabian cancer patients is a priority at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Because there is limited research on the quality of life (QoL) of Saudi Arabian cancer patients, the aim of this study was to identify the predictors of the QoL in a sample of Saudis with cancer. In August 2016, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 438 patients with a variety of cancer types (145 breast, 109 colorectal, 38 leukemia, 45 lymphoma, and 99 other types) who attended the Oncology Outpatient Clinics at KAMC.

The predictors of poor quality of life in a sample of Saudi women with breast cancer.

Background: The protocols for treatment, along with many adverse effects, can strongly affect cancer patients' quality of life (QoL). As there is limited research on the QoL of Saudi Arabian women being treated for breast cancer, the purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of poor QoL in a sample of Saudi women with breast cancer.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 145 Saudi women with breast cancer who attended the Oncology Outpatient Clinic at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh for routine follow-up.
