Article Synopsis
- Lower extremity lymphedema is a frequent complication in patients treated for gynecological cancers, affecting up to 70% of them and currently lacking standardized treatment protocols.
- A case study details a 40-year-old woman who developed severe bilateral leg swelling and complications six years post-endometrial cancer treatment, ultimately leading to significant functional impairment.
- Following a combination of complex decongestive therapy and lymphaticovenous anastomosis, she experienced marked improvements, including substantial weight loss, reduced swelling, eliminated pain, and restored mobility.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares transoral vestibular robotic thyroidectomy (TOVRT) to traditional low-collar incision thyroidectomy (TLCIT) for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), focusing on surgical and patient outcomes.
- Data from 120 patients were analyzed using propensity score matching to reduce bias, and both surgical techniques involved total thyroidectomy or lobectomy with central lymph node dissection.
- Results showed TOVRT had longer operation times, greater postoperative drainage, and longer drainage tube placement compared to TLCIT, but no conversions to open surgery occurred in the TOVRT group.
The authors explore the role of DNASE1L2 in breast cancer (BC) and its affect on the cell phenotype. Breast invasive ductal carcinoma RNA-Seq data set was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database for analyzing DNASE1L2 levels. Overall survival curve was plotted by Kaplan-Meier methods.
