Tumour deposit count is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancer-a population-based cohort study.

Background: Tumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. However, the current TNM staging system does not account for the presence of tumour deposits in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer, or for the presence of multiple deposits. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour deposit count in patients with colorectal cancer.

Primary perianal Paget's disease: three cases.

Perianal Paget's disease (PPD) is a rare intraepidermal neoplastic disease, presenting with nonspecific symptoms, such as pruritis ani or eczema. Perianal Paget's disease may present as a primary lesion or as a paramalignant phenomenon. Uniform evidence-based treatment strategies have not been defined for this rare condition, and currently, different treatment methods are suggested.

Tumour deposits in colon cancer predict recurrence and reduced survival in a nationwide population-based study.

Background: Tumour deposits are suggested to impact prognosis in colon cancer negatively. This study assessed the impact of tumour deposits on oncological outcomes.

Methods: Data from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry for patients who underwent R0 abdominal surgery for TNM stage I-III colon cancer between 2011 and 2014 with 5-year follow-up were analysed with multivariable analysis.

Cervical myoma causing colonic obstruction in the first trimester of pregnancy - a case report.

A 39-year-old nulliparous woman with a previously known cervical myoma was admitted to the obstetrics department during the first trimester with complaints of severe abdominal pain, lack of bowel movements and the suspicion of a clinical bowel obstruction. Because no literature on this exact condition could be found, clinical decisions were based on reports and practice in similar situations. Ultrasound revealed the progression of a cervical myoma (previously 9 cm across), now 12 × 12 × 11 cm in size and a distended large bowel.

Adverse impact of tumor deposits in lymph node negative rectal cancer - a national cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumor deposits (TDs) in lymph node negative rectal cancer.

Methods: Patients who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer with curative intention between 2011 and 2014 were extracted from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. Patients with positive lymph nodes, undisclosed TD status, stage IV disease, non-radical resections, or any outcome (local recurrence (LR), distant metastasis (DM) or mortality) within 90 days after surgery were excluded.

Negative Prognostic Impact of Tumor Deposits in Rectal Cancer: A National Study Cohort.

Objective: To investigate whether tumor deposits (TDs) in rectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence risk and decreased survival.

Background: Tumor deposits (TDs) are considered a risk factor for recurrence after colon cancer resection, and the presence of TDs prompts adjuvant chemotherapy. The prognostic relevance of TDs in rectal cancer requires further exploration.

Circumferential Resection Margin is Associated With Distant Metastasis After Rectal Cancer Surgery: A Nation-wide Population-based Study Cohort.

Objective: To evaluate circumferential resection margin (CRM) as a risk factor for distant metastasis (DM) in rectal cancer.

Summary Of Background Data: The treatment of rectal cancer has evolved over the last decades. Surgical radicality is considered the most important factor in preventing recurrences including local and distant.

Measurement of cardiac output with non-invasive Aesculon impedance versus thermodilution.

Background: This study compared the non-invasive thoracic electrical bioimpedance Aesculon technique (TEB(Aesculon) ) with thermodilution (TD) to evaluate whether TEB(Aesculon) may offer a reliable means for estimating cardiac output (CO) in humans.

Material And Method: Cardiac output was measured with TD and TEB(Aesculon) in 33 patients, with a mean age ± SEM of 59 ± 2·7 years, that underwent right heart catheterization for clinical investigation of pulmonary hypertension or severe heart failure. Four to five CO measurements were performed with each technique simultaneously in 33 patients at rest, 11 during exercise and seven during NO inhalation.
