During the period from July 1983 to December 1996, 685 patients who underwent radical hysterectomy as their primary treatment for cervical cancer and had optimal follow-up for at least three years were analyzed. Fifty seven patients (8.3%) had pelvic nodes metastasis and received postoperative whole pelvic radiation. Tumor recurrence was noted in 97 cases (14.2%). Nodal metastasis is the most significant prognostic factor for tumor recurrence. Patients with nodal metastasis had 42.1 per cent risk of recurrence compared to 11.6 per cent in those without nodal metastasis. Furthermore; risk of recurrence significantly increased if more than 1 node was involved. Other factors associated with a significantly higher risk of recurrence in multivariate analysis were tumor histology and clinical stage. Patients with nonsquamous cell carcinoma and clinical stage IIa had disease recurrence in 24.4 per cent and 30.3 per cent compared to only 11.7 per cent in squamous and 13.3 per cent in stage Ib. Tumor grade is the significant prognostic factor only in adenocarcinoma cell type but not in squamous cell type.

Background And Objectives: Breast cancers (BCs) of patients with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes and anti-Yo antibodies (Yo-PNS) overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and display genetic alterations and overexpression of the Yo-onconeural antigens. They are infiltrated by an unusual proportion of B cells. We investigated whether these features were also observed in patients with PNS and anti-Ri antibodies (Ri-PNS).

Background: Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are rare and aggressive thymic tumors that are usually detected in advanced stages. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; however, the role of surgery in advanced disease is controversial due to factors such as myasthenia gravis; thus, decisions about whether to perform surgical interventions are complex. Further studies need to be conducted to explore the potential benefits of surgery in the treatment of advanced thymic tumors.

Department of Radiology, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.
Background: Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is a significant predictor of overall patient survival; thus, precise evaluation of ALNM is essential for staging breast cancer, informing multimodal treatment strategies, and ensuring optimal patient care. This study aimed to establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system for predicting extensive axillary nodal metastasis in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer derived from preoperative breast and axillary MRI.
Methods: This study included 226 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast and axillary MRI between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.

Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Elizabeth University Hospital, 1345 Govan Rd, Glasgow, Queen, UK.
Purpose: Carcinogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has long been associated with exposure to tobacco smoke and alcohol consumption. Some centres have reported that non-smoking non-drinking (NSND) patients represent a significant and increasing proportion of OSCC cases with reports of poorer outcomes. Demographic characteristics are variably reported for this group and carcinogenesis is not fully understood.
