[Metastatic nasopharynx cancer at diagnosis: clinical and prognostic (study of 51 cases)].

This retrospective study aimed to highlight the different epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic features of nasopharinx cancer with inaugural metastases in patients hospitalized in a Tunisian Hospital. We here report 51 cases of histologically diagnosed nasopharynx cancer (NPC) with inaugural metastases. Data were collected in the ENT departments and in the radiation therapy departments at the University Hospital Farhat Hached, Sousse, Tunisia as well as at the Centre Medical Ibn Khaldoun, Hammam Sousse, between January 1995 and December 2010.

Molecular Diagnostic and Prognostic Subtyping of Gliomas in Tunisian Population.

It has become increasingly evident that morphologically similar gliomas may have distinct clinical phenotypes arising from diverse genetic signatures. To date, glial tumours from the Tunisian population have not been investigated. To address this, we correlated the clinico-pathology with molecular data of 110 gliomas by a combination of HM450K array, MLPA and TMA-IHC.

Breast cancer occurred after Hodgkin's disease: clinico-pathological features, treatments and outcome: analysis of 214 cases.

Background: Secondary tumours (ST) represent a major concern in survivors of Hodgkin's disease (HD). Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent ST among young treated women.

Material And Methods: One hundred and eighty-nine women treated for HD by radiotherapy (RT) and/or chemotherapy (CT) subsequently developed 214 BCs.

[Skin cancer in Tunisia: a retrospective study: 1379 cases and risk factors].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and epidemiological aspects of skin cancer in Tunisia.

Methods: we analysed the clinical files of all cases of skin cancer registrated at the ISA institute between 1975 and 1984.

Results: 1379 cases of skin cancer were referred to ISA, representing 9.
