Nodal CTV selection according to primary tumour location and pT stage for biliary tract cancer.

Introduction/purpose: To assist radiation oncologists in determining the elective nodal CTV for biliary tract cancer, we aimed to provide the rules for selection of the CTV for each subsite of biliary tract with respect to the pT stage, based on the analysis of the incidence and location of metastatic lymph nodes.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to determine the rate of pathological nodal involvement of each individual lymph node station (LNS) as a function of the primary tumour pT stage (pT1-2 vs. pT3-4) separately for right intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (rIHC), left/hilar intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma l/hIHC), proximal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (pEHC), middle extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (mEHC), distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (dEHC) and gall bladder cancer (GBC).

Adjuvant Radiochemotherapy with a 23-Month Overall Survival Time in a Patient after a Surgery due to Splenic Hemangiosarcoma Rupture: A Case Report with the Literature Review.

Primary and secondary prevention of breast cancer.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and is the second cancer frequently occurring worldwide of newly-diagnosed cancers. There is much evidence showing the influence of life style and environmental factors on the development of mammary gland cancer (high-fat diet, alcohol consumption, lack of physical exercise), the elimination of which (primary prevention) may contribute to a decrease in morbidity and mortality. Secondary prevention, comprising diagnostic tests (e.

Place of residence does not significantly influence radiological morphology of cervical cancer.

Introduction And Objective: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies of women. Its incidence and morphology was analyzed based on the magnetic resonance (MR) data among rural and urban residents.

Material And Methods: The study involved 61 Caucasian women (58.

The problem of fatigue in patients suffering from neoplastic disease.

Modern therapeutic management of patients with cancer is associated with many adverse side effects, including fatigue defined as weariness, burnout, lassitude, malaise, apathy, impatience, and/or inability to perform daily activities. It occurs frequently before the diagnosis of cancer and may persist for a long time after the end of cancer therapy. It is a common problem that occurs regardless of the type of cancer and applied therapeutic procedure.
