What is the effect of tumor diameter, lymph node metastases, and SUVmax value on prognosis in limited-stage small cell lung cancer?

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the link between survival and prognostic factors such as tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and metabolic activity detected on positron emission tomography/computed tomography in patients with limited-stage small cell lung carcinoma.

Methods: Patients who were admitted to our hospital with pathological diagnosis of limited-stage small cell lung cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 and were older than 18 years were retrospectively screened.

Results: A total of 77 patients, including 10 females and 67 males, were included in the study.

Factors affecting the life expectancy in malignant pleural mesothelioma: Our 10 years of studies and experience.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. In our study, we aimed to investigate the specific clinical, laboratory, and radiological features of the tumor and the prognostic effect of SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake values) according to PET/CT (positron emission tomography). Demographic, therapeutic, clinical, and survival information of patients diagnosed with histologically-validated pleural mesothelioma in our hospital between January 2010 to December 2019 will be retrospectively scanned from the hospital records.

Molecular properties and survival of lung adenocarcinoma in young patients.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the molecular properties and factors of lung cancer in young patients aged 18-45 years, affecting survival in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Methods: Patients aged between 18 and 45 years who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in our hospital between January 2015 and December 2019 and their tumoural mutations were studied and included in this study and then reviewed retrospectively from the hospital records.

Results: At the time of diagnosis, 71 (3.

Relationship between chest computed tomography findings and clinical conditions of coronavirus disease (COVID-19): A multicentre experience.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and chest computed tomography (CT) features associated with clinical parameters for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the capital of Turkey, Ankara.

Materials And Methods: Epidemiological, clinical features, laboratory findings and radiological characteristics of 1563 hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in Ankara were collected, reviewed and analysed in this study. The risk factors associated with disease severity were investigated.

Is the TSHR D727E polymorphism a genetic predisposition for multinodular goiter in the Turkish population?

The D727E germline polymorphism in the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor gene (TSHR) may cause genetic susceptibility to the development of goiter. Therefore, in this study we investigated allele frequencies and genotype distributions of the TSHR D727E polymorphism, their association with clinical parameters, and the development of goiter in the Turkish population. We investigated the TSHR D727E polymorphism in 123 patients and 97 healthy subjects using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.
