Article Synopsis
- - Keratinocyte cancer (KC) is the most common type of cancer, and this study assesses the methodological quality of clinical trials aimed at preventing KC in high-risk groups that are not on immunosuppressive therapy.
- - Researchers analyzed 23 trials and found significant issues, with 86.9% having a high risk of attrition bias and 60.9% reporting bias, while many trials also lacked essential reporting details according to CONSORT criteria.
- - The study suggests that the quality of recent clinical trials has improved compared to earlier ones but emphasizes the need for better transparency in reporting potential risks of bias to enhance future trials.
Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in critically ill cancer patients.
Objectives: To assess plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels and risks factors associated with AKI and mortality.
Methods: We recruited 96 critically ill cancer patients and followed them prospectively.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with testicular cancer (TC) admitted to an oncological intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: This was a prospective observational study. There were no interventions.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of organ dysfunction, and to describe the clinical characteristics and intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes of critically ill cancer patients who were admitted to an oncological ICU during the isolated limb perfusion post-operative period. The present study was an observational investigation of 42 critically ill cancer patients who were admitted to the ICU of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, during the isolated limb perfusion post-operative period, between July 2010 and February 2016. The mean age of the patients was 45.

Usefulness of ultrasonographic measurement of the diameter of the inferior vena cava to predict responsiveness to intravascular fluid administration in patients with cancer.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)
October 2016
We conducted an observational, longitudinal prospective study in which we measured the diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC) of 47 patients using ultrasonography. The aim of our study was to assess the state of blood volume and to determine the percentage of patients who responded to intravascular volume expansion. Only 17 patients (36%) responded to fluid management.
