Prognostic Factors After Surgical Treatment of Liver Metastases from Breast Cancer - 19 Years of Experience.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to determine the importance of surgical treatment, utility of hormone receptor status and selected biomarkers in the prognosis of patients with liver metastases from breast cancer (BCLM).

Patients And Methods: Thirty female underwent surgery for BCLM between 1/2000 and 1/2019.

Results: The type of surgery (resection/radiofrequency ablation) had no impact on overall survival (OS) - (p=0.

Outcomes for Patients after Resection of Pulmonary Metastases from Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: 18 Years of Experience.

Introduction: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kidney tumor. If feasible, metastasectomy is preferably indicated in metastatic disease.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of patients after pulmonary metastasectomy (PM).

Cystic Appearance on Imaging Methods (Bosniak III-IV) in Histologically Confirmed Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma is Mainly Characteristic of Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Type 1 and Might Predict a Relatively Indolent Behavior of Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of cystic tumors according to preoperative CT (Bosniak III, IV) among surgically treated patients with histologically confirmed papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) and to assess progression rates among patients with and without cystic appearance on imaging.

Methods: A total of 138 patients with pRCC histology surgically treated in the period of January 2007-March 2017 were included. Clinical and radiological characteristics, type of surgery, histopathology results, and follow-up data were recorded and statistically evaluated.

CEA, CA 15-3, and TPS as Prognostic Factors in the Follow-up Monitoring of Patients After Radical Surgery for Breast Cancer.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) to predict relapse in breast cancer patients, when the measurement of biomarkers is performed within 6 months after surgery.

Patients And Methods: Four hundred and seventy-two patients with breast cancer were evaluated. TPS, CEA, and CA 15-3 were measured in months 1, 3, and 6, after surgery.

Morphological Characterization of Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Type 1, the Efficiency of Its Surgical Treatment.

Aim: Papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1 (pRCC1) represents the second most common type of malignant renal epithelial tumour. The origin of its characteristic appearance, its growth mechanism, and the long-term efficiency of its surgical treatment remain uncertain. Our aim was to determine typical characteristics of surgically treated pRCC1.
