A scoring system to predict recurrence in breast cancer patients.

Objective: Current breast cancer recurrence prediction models have limitations for clinical practice (statistical methodology, simplicity and specific populations). We therefore developed a new model that overcomes these limitations.

Methods: This cohort study comprised 272 patients with breast cancer followed between 2003 and 2016.

A scoring system to predict breast cancer mortality at 5 and 10 years.

Unlabelled: Although predictive models exist for mortality in breast cancer (BC) (generally all cause-mortality), they are not applicable to all patients and their statistical methodology is not the most powerful to develop a predictive model. Consequently, we developed a predictive model specific for BC mortality at 5 and 10 years resolving the above issues. This cohort study included 287 patients diagnosed with BC in a Spanish region in 2003-2016.

Small bowel occlusion due to intussusception of a single metastasis of lung cancer.

The occurrence of small bowel intussusception due to metastatic lung cancer is very infrequent. We present a case of young man recently diagnosed of non small cell lung cancer that had a unique small intestine metastasis. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
