Theranostics in Renal Cell Carcinoma-A Step Towards New Opportunities or a Dead End-A Systematic Review.

Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most aggressive urogenital malignancies, with an increasing number of cases worldwide. The majority of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, as this form of growth is typically silent. An accurate evaluation of the extent of the disease is crucial for selecting the most appropriate treatment approach.

Substrate composition evaluation for urban green infrastructure planted with calcareous grassland dicotyledonous species.

Green roofs and walls offer many benefits, not only in terms of the ecosystem services, but also in terms of improving building performance. The growing medium is the most important component of green roofs and walls. It should ensure stable plant growth with minimal maintenance and the proper choice is crucial for the survival and performance of the vegetation.

Correlation Between Antihypertensive Drugs and Survival Among Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

There is a growing prevalence of pancreatic cancer, accompanied by accelerated disease progression and diminished survival rates. Radical resection with clear margins remains the sole viable option for achieving a long-term cure in patients. In cases of advanced, unresectable, and metastatic disease, chemotherapy based on leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, gemcitabine, or nab-paclitaxel represents the cornerstone of the treatment.

Prognostic factors for hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation or resection - single-center experience.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess prognostic factors associated with an increased risk of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical treatment.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center analysis of data on HCC recurrence in patients who underwent radical treatment. Molecular tumor characteristics, baseline laboratory results and hepatic viral status were analyzed.

Evaluation of Selected MRI Parameters in the Differentiation of Mucinous Ovarian Carcinomas and Metastatic Ovarian Tumors.

Analysis of selected MRI parameters in initial MRI for the characterization of ovarian masses enables differentiation between mucinous ovarian carcinoma and metastatic ovarian tumors. A prospective analysis of contrast-enhanced MRI of patients with suspected ovarian masses diagnosed in ultrasound and CT examination. Morphological criteria, such as the size of lesion, bilateral location, presence of "mille-feuille sign", so-called Seidman criteria, as well as the diffusion weighted imaging and dynamic contrast enhancement of each lesion, were evaluated.
