Pediatric bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma: Eight cases from a single center.

In this study, clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and outcome of patients diagnosed with bladder/prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (BP RMS) were evaluated retrospectively. Files of 8 children diagnosed with BP RMS and treated between 2004-2014 were reviewed for clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and outcome. Seven males and one female were diagnosed with BP RMS between 2004-2014.

Micronucleus frequencies in lymphocytes and buccal epithelial cells from patients having head and neck cancer and their first-degree relatives.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the fifth most common cancer type worldwide. Even though it is known that the most important environmental aetiological factors for head and neck cancer (HNC) development are tobacco and alcohol, genetic susceptibility is also thought to be important. The use of biomarkers of chromosomal damage due to genetic instability in order to predict risk of cancer as well as to identify high-risk individuals is imperative.

Nasopharyngeal carcinomas: prognostic factors and treatment features.

Purpose: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical, radiological and pathological features determining the prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Ankara Oncology Hospital, Turkey.

Material And Methods: Two hundred and fifty-nine patients, 74 women and 185 males with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were treated between 1993 and 2008. All imaging data including CT and MRI were reevaluated according to the criteria which determine parapharyngeal, oropharyngeal, nasal, skull-base (bone)/sinus, infratemporal fossa, orbit, intracranial involvements and lymph node metastasis by our radiologists.
