Background: The study aimed to investigate the impact of lymph node ratio (LNR) on survival in patients with resectable gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2020. We included patients with gallbladder adenocarcinoma who had undergone resection of the primary site as well as adequate lymphadenectomy.
Background: The role of metastasectomy in patients with liver-only metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma remains under investigation. Therefore, we performed a national registry analysis comparing surgical treatment options for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective National Cancer Database (2010-2019) study, adults (≥ 18 years) with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases (no brain, bone, or lung metastases) were included.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the quality of primary transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) procedures performed at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) over nine years, focusing on proper documentation, completeness of tumor resection, quality of histopathology reports, complication rates, and adherence to European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients aged 25-75 who underwent primary TURBT at AKUH between 2010 and 2019 was done. Patients with incomplete records, concomitant procedures, or those who underwent emergency TURBT were excluded.
