Clinical outcomes of image-guided therapies in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma: a tertiary referral center retrospective study.

Background: Image-guided therapies (IGTs) are commonly used in oncology, but their role in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is not well defined.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients with ACC treated with IGTs. We assessed response to therapy using RECIST v1.

Venous thromboembolism in adrenocortical carcinoma: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of death in patients with cancer. Limited data exist about VTE in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). The primary objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of VTE in a cohort of patients with ACC.

Incidence and Geographical Distribution of Adrenocortical Carcinoma: Retrospective Analysis of a State Cancer Registry.

Objective: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy without established association with environmental risk factors. ACC incidence is stable based on large surgical databases while referral centers data reported increasing number of cases seen. We studied ACC incidence and distribution at a county level to find potential ACC "hot spots" that could be linked to environmental exposures.

Characterization and cytotoxicity assessment of nargile smoke using dynamic exposure.

Nargile (waterpipe) smoking has gained popularity in the Middle East and throughout the world. In this research, a new dynamic methodology was conceived. This methodology was deployed for direct assessment of cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and apoptotic potential of smoke generated from a single nargile session.
