Transcriptome analysis revealed a novel nine-gene prognostic risk score of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) continues to pose a significant global health concern, with rising incidence and high mortality rate. Accordingly, identifying molecular alternations associated with ccRCC is crucial to boost our understanding of its onset, persistence, and progression as well as developing prognostic biomarkers and novel therapies. Bulk RNA sequencing data and its associated clinicopathological variables of ccRCC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program.

The Prognostic Utility of Lymphocyte-Based Measures and Ratios in Chemotherapy-Induced Febrile Neutropenia Patients following Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Therapy.

Chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia is the most widespread oncologic emergency with high morbidity and mortality rates. Herein we present a retrospective risk factor identification study to evaluate the prognostic role of lymphocyte-based measures and ratios in a cohort of chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia patients following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy. : The electronic medical records at our center were utilized to identify patients with a first attack of chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia and were treated accordingly with G-CSF between January 2010 to December 2020.

Surgical excision of giant vulvar angiofibroma: A case report and a review of literature.

Rationale: Cellular angiofibroma (CA) is a rare tumor of the soft tissue classified as a benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumor. Considering this, the literature regarding CA mainly, but not exclusively, comprises single case reports and case series. Here, we report a case of giant CA of the vulva with comprehensive literature review.

Evaluating the Prognostic Role of Monocytopenia in Chemotherapy-Induced Febrile Neutropenia Patients Treated with Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor.

Objective: Chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia is a common and serious oncological emergency which carries a substantial mortality and morbidity. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the usage of absolute monocyte count (AMC) at presentation as a prognostic factor for patients with chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia who were subsequently treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).

Study Design: The electronic medical records of our center were used retrospectively to identify patients diagnosed with unprecedented chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia treated with G-CSF between January 2010 to December 2020 and diagnosed with solid and hematological malignancies.

Ischio-anal fossa hydatid cyst.

Extrahepatic hydatid disease has been reported in several locations, including the pelvis, and it often poses a diagnostic challenge. There are very few reported cases of primary perineal ischio-anal fossa hydatid cysts. We present a case of a 46-year-old female who had complained of painless left perianal mass for 8 months.
