INTRA-ARTERIAL CHEMOTHERAPY AS A CLINICAL OPTION FOR METASTATIC COLORECTAL CANCER: CONVERSION OF INOPERABLE LIVER METASTASES TO OPERABLE ILLUSTRATED WITH A CLINICAL CASE.

Colorectal cancer exerts a very high level of liver metastases, even on primary diagnosis, with 80%-90% unresectable nodules. At the same time, the possibility of resection has a significant impact on survival: 5-year survival is 6%-10% without liver surgery and up to 30% upon resection of liver metastases. Finding ways to improve resectability is a topical search for doctors all over the world.

Cross-sectional Evaluation of the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) Questionnaire: Translation and Validation of its Psychometric Properties.

Background: The SarQoL, a quality-of-life questionnaire specific to sarcopenia, was developed in 2015 and has since been translated into a number of other languages.

Methods: The questionnaire was translated using a forward-backward approach with a pre-test.
