Objective: To evaluate the optimal candidates for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in ovarian cancer.

Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Health Sciences University, Dr.

Clinicopathological features of non-carcinoid malignant epithelial appendix tumors and risk factors for recurrence, single-center experience.

Background: Non-carcinoid appendix epithelial tumors are rare. These tumors include low-grade and high-grade mucinous neoplasm also adenocarcinomas. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment, and risk factors of recurrence.

The effect of CEA/Albumin ratio in gastric cancer patient on prognostic factors.

Aim: Gastric cancer is an important disease worldwide with high mortality and morbidity rates. Novel targeted treatment approaches and recent improvements in immunotherapy have significantly improved survival. New indicators that can help determine the prognosis of stomach cancer have been of interest to researchers.

Luminal A Breast Cancer: How Feasible is Omitting Axillary Dissection Without Neoadjuvant Therapy.

Background: Luminal A breast cancer has a good prognosis and the criteria for adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are not clear. The aim of this study was to present our results of upfront surgery and long-term survival in luminal A tumors as well as the rates of protection from axillary dissection. .

Serum AMDL DR-70 levels: a new concept in the diagnosis and follow-up of colorectal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic potential of DR-70 assay in patients with colorectal cancer and to investigate the relationship between serum DR-70 levels and the biological characteristic of the tumor. The experimental group included patients who were diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma after biopsy specimen. The control group of this study consisted of patients whose total colonoscopy was reported as normal.

A Rare Malignity of Childhood: Krukenberg Tumor-Case Report and Review of Literature.

Krukenberg tumor (KT) is a rare ovarian carcinoma containing mucin-filled signet ring cells. It accounts for 1%-2% of all ovarian tumors. It is seen at an average age of 40 years.

Is extralevator abdominoperineal resection necessary for low rectal carcinoma in the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy era?

We aimed to compare the short-term surgical and early surgical oncological outcomes of abdominoperineal resection (APR) and extralevator APR (ELAPR) in patients with low rectal carcinoma that have received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT), whose abdominal procedures were performed laparoscopically. One hundred and four patients who underwent APR or ELAPR for stage II/III low rectal carcinoma NACRT between 2013 and 2016 were evaluated by reviewing the standard charts for colorectal carcinoma. Median follow-up for patients in APR group was 56 months(24-67 months) and 52 months(27-64 months) for ELAPR group.

Pancreatic fistula rates after internal and external stenting of the pancreatojejunostomy anastomosis following pancreatoduodenectomy.

This retrospective comparative case series study aims to analyze the pancreatic fistula rates of internal and external stenting of the pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for periampullary tumors. Ninety-eight patients with periampullary tumors who were operated between 2010 and 2017 were enrolled in this study. A classic open PD with Roux-en-Y PJ reconstruction was performed in all cases.

Malignancy in Solitary Thyroid Nodules: Evaluation of Risk Factors.

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate patients with suspicious solitary nodules undergoing bilateral total thyroidectomy for the presence of malignancy.

Patients And Methods: 141 patients with true solitary thyroid nodules who underwent bilateral total thyroidectomy at the Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Hospital between 2008 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated.

Bethesda Made It Clearer: A Review of 542 Patients in a Single Institution.

Background: It is essential to interpret fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) material correctly to create a common language among pathologists and surgeons, leading to a uniform approach to thyroid nodule management. We aimed to compare FNAB reports of patients at our institution who were treated with total thyroidectomy, before and after the Bethesda classification system.

Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for thyroid nodules are reviewed.

Giant retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma.

Introduction: Liposarcoma is the most frequent type of retroperitoneal sarcomas. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is the least common subtype and is an extremely rare tumor.

Case Report: We present the case of a 53-year-old male who was referred with a giant retroperitoneal mass.

The Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the Primary Staging of Gastric Cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the primary staging of gastric cancer in the comparison of ceCT as routine staging method and evaluate influencing parameters of 18F-FDG uptake.

Methods: Thirty-one patients (mean age: 58.9±12.

Experimental determination of human peripheral nerve stimulation thresholds in a 3-axis planar gradient system.

In MRI, strong, rapidly switched gradient fields are desirable because they can be used to reduce imaging time, obtain images with better resolution, or improve image signal-to-noise ratios. Improvements in gradient strength can be made by either increasing the gradient amplifier strength or by enhancing gradient efficiency. Unfortunately, many MRI pulse sequences, in combination with high-performance amplifiers and existing gradient hardware, can cause peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS).

Local planar gradients with order-of-magnitude strength and speed advantage.

A three-axis uniplanar gradient coil was designed and built to provide order-of-magnitude increases in gradient strength of up to 500 mT/m on the x- and y-axes, and 1000 mT/m for the z-axis at 640 A input over a limited FOV ( approximately 16 cm) for superficial regions, compared to conventional gradient coils, with significant gradient strengths extending deeper into the body. The gradient set is practically accommodated in the bore of a conventional whole-body, cylindrical-geometry MRI scanner, and operated using standard gradient supplies. The design was optimized for gradient linearity over a restricted volume while accounting for the practical problems of torque and heating.
