Objectives: To evaluate the pathological outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who were unsuitable for general anesthesia and underwent regional anesthesia in terms of their suitability for oncological surgery.
Methods: A total of 53 patients who underwent mesocolicormesorectal surgery under regional anesthesia at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey, between May 2019 and May 2023 were retrospectively examined. The negative margins of the proximal, distal, and circumferential margins of specimens, as well as the number of lymph nodes removed, were analyzed.
Background: A pathological complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is important for the prognosis of early-stage breast cancer. The prediction of an NAC response plays a key role in managing neoadjuvant treatment.
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the baseline PETCT FDG (F-18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography) SUVmax (the maximum standardized uptake value) for pCR after NAC in early-stage breast cancer.
Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is caused by germline heterozygous loss-of-function pathogenic variants (PVs) in ribosomal protein (RP) genes, most commonly and . In addition to red cell aplasia, individuals with DBA are at increased risk of various cancers. Importantly, the mechanism(s) underlying cancer predisposition are poorly understood.

This study was conducted to evaluate the changes in stigmatizing attitudes of nursing students who took the addiction course toward individuals with substance use disorder.
Method: The study was conducted in a single group in a pretest-posttest order.
Effect of Ki-67 proliferation index on survival in large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.
Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992)
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the survival rates of patients with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung, focusing on the Ki-67 proliferation index and other clinical characteristics.
- The research involved 38 patients and found that factors like age, tumor location, metastasis at diagnosis, and treatment received could impact overall survival rates, though not significantly statistically.
- It concludes that identifying specific subgroups with lower survival rates could aid in patient prognosis, but larger studies are necessary for more definitive insights.
