The Relevance of Sex and Age as Non-Modifiable Risk Factors in Relation to Clinical-Pathological Parameters in Colorectal Cancer.

Background And Objectives: We aimed to assess the significance of sex and age compared to other clinical-pathological parameters in colorectal cancer (CRC).

Materials And Methods: Our study included a retrospective approach to CRC patients who underwent surgery at the 'Pius Brinzeu' County Clinical Emergency Hospital in Timisoara (PBECCHT), Romania. The analyzed parameters were: patient age and sex, tumor location, histological type, differentiation grade (G), extent of tumor (pT), lymph-node status (pN), distant metastasis status (pM), and lymphovascular invasion (LVI).

Clinical-Pathological Features of Thyroid Neoplasms in Young Patients Diagnosed in a Single Center.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical-pathological profile in young patients with thyroid cancer. We realized a retrospective study on patients with thyroid neoplasms who underwent surgery at the "Pius Brinzeu" County Clinical Emergency Hospital in Timisoara, Romania. A comparative analysis of some parameters between two groups, young patients (<45 years) versus patients ≥45 years, was performed.

Primary Thyroid Lymphoma: A Retrospective-Observational Study in a Single Institutional Center.

: primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare neoplasm, displaying a variety of histological features. It is often a challenge for pathologists to diagnose this tumor. : this study is a retrospective analysis of clinical and pathological characteristics of a group of eleven patients (eight women and three men, mean age 68 years, range 50-80 years) diagnosed with PTL.

Colorectal Cancer Risk Prediction Using the rs4939827 Polymorphism of the Gene in the Romanian Population.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is globally recognized as a prevalent malignancy known for its significant mortality rate. Recent years have witnessed a rising incidence trend in colorectal cancer, emphasizing the necessity for early diagnosis. Our study focused on examining the impact of the gene variant rs4939827 on the risk of colorectal cancer occurrence.

Collision Tumors of the Colon and Peritoneum: Signet-Ring Cell Carcinoma and Granular Cell Tumor.

Collision tumors, although rare, characterized by two distinctive (morphological, as well immunohistochemical) and spatially independent tumor components at the same location, are always puzzling for clinicians, pathologists, and patients because they do not fit into the usual approaches, being neither diagnostic nor therapeutic. Reviewing the specialized literature, to date, collision tumors have been reported in multiple locations such as the skin, esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, kidney, bladder, adrenal gland, or thyroid. We report a case of coexistence at the same site of a malignant tumor of the ascending colon and a benign tumor emerging from the peritoneal lining, initially thought by the surgeon to be right-sided serosal carcinomatosis.
