Bone Metastases in Non-Seminomatous Germ Cell Tumors: A 20-Year Retrospective Analysis.

Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) represent a rare yet the most prevalent malignancy among young men. Bone metastases (BMs) are exceedingly uncommon in this neoplasm, and available data regarding the initial disease presentation, survival outcomes, and prognostic significance of BMs are limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 NSGCT patients with BMs treated between 2001 and 2021 in our tertiary care center.

Clinical outcomes after inferior vena cava resection for malignant disease. A single center experience of 51 vena cava resections.

Background And Objective: For tumors involving inferior vena cava (IVC), surgery with complete resection remains the first line treatment. Management of IVC after resection, either ligation without reconstruction or primary reconstruction, is debated. Our study aimed to evaluate type of venous reconstruction, anticoagulation management and morbidity.

Intra-operative High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound in Patients With Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Prospective Ablate-and-Resect Study.

Objective: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a recent, non-ionizing and non-invasive technology of focal destruction. Independence from the heat-sink effect of blood flow makes HIFU an interesting technique for focal ablation of liver tumors. Current available technology is based on extracorporeal treatment that limits use of HIFU for the treatment of liver tumors, as elementary ablations are small and must be juxtaposed to treat tumors, resulting in long-duration treatment.
