Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how transjugular intra-hepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement affects renal function and its correlation with mortality risk using data from 593 patients between 2004 and 2017.
- Patients with elevated baseline creatinine (Cr) levels saw a decrease in Cr after TIPS, while those with normal levels showed little to no change.
- Higher post-TIPS Cr levels were linked to increased one-year mortality, suggesting improved renal function from TIPS in patients with renal issues and emphasizing the importance of post-procedure Cr levels as a mortality risk predictor.*
Primary vulvar and vaginal cancers are rare female genital tract malignancies which are staged using the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging. These cancers account for approximately 2,700 deaths annually in the USA. The most common histologic subtype of both vulvar and vaginal cancers is squamous cell carcinoma, with an increasing role of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in a significant number of these tumors.
