Article Synopsis
- - A woman in her 20s was diagnosed with bulky stage II classic Hodgkin's lymphoma after experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath and cough for eight weeks, leading to the start of a chemotherapy regimen called ABVD.
- - During her treatment, she experienced severe hypertension and tonic-clonic seizures, which were diagnosed as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), but this improved after stopping chemotherapy and managing her blood pressure.
- - The patient later developed anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy, prompting a change in her chemotherapy to gemcitabine BVD, but she ultimately recovered fully and completed her treatment, achieving a complete metabolic response to the tumor.
Background: We aim to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative and postoperative inflammatory systems in patients who had undergone surgery for colorectal liver metastases, focusing our analysis on the role of C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS).
Methods: A total of 194 patients were enrolled onto this study. Demographics, tumor-related variables, preoperative and postoperative (day 1) inflammatory variables were analyzed as potential prognostic factors.
Purpose: To examine the diagnostic accuracy of systemic inflammatory markers in early prediction of inflammatory postoperative complications (IPC) and clinically-relevant pancreatic fistula (PF).
Methods: Preoperative and postoperative [until postoperative day (POD) 4)] measurements of hemoglobin, white blood cell counts (WBC), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were correlated with IPC and PF. Meta-analyses of biochemical predictors were performed.
