Comparison of the prognostic value of F-18 FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters of primary tumors and MRI findings in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of metabolic parameters of pretreatment primary tumor and regional lymph nodes with F-18-FDG PET/CT compared with MRI findings for the prognostic value and disease-free survival (DFS) in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Material And Methods: From 2011 to 2016, 112 patients with a diagnosis of cervical cancer stages IB2-IVA treated with concomitant chemoradiation therapy with 3D intracavitary brachytherapy were analyzed. From this group, 50 patients who underwent pretreatment and posttreatment FDG PET/CT and MRI were enrolled.

Marjolin ulcer: clinical experience with 34 patients over 15 years.

Background: Malignancies that arise from scars are referred to as Marjolin ulcers. The association between chronic ulcers and squamous cell carcinomas is well established. There are many case reports in the literature regarding Marjolin ulcer; however, randomized controlled clinical series that describe a thorough evaluation of these patients are rarely encountered.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast in young male patient: a case report and a review of the literature.

MALIGNANT FIBROUS HISTIOCYTOMA (MFH) IS A FAIRLY COMMON TUMOR IN THE DEEP SOFT TISSUES: the most frequent primary sites are the lower (49%) and upper (19%) limbs, but it has been reported even in the retroperitoneum and abdomen (16%), while localization in the breast is extremely rare (1-2). Breast cancer is rarely seen in males, accounts for approximately 1% of all breast cancer, and the breast sarcomas constitute less than 1% of breast tumors in both sexes. In the review of the literature, this is the third male and first young male with MFH.
