We analyzed case histories of 495 patients with oral cancer treated in the Head and Neck Tumor Clinic of the Russian Cancer Research Center RAMS from 1985 to 1998. 88 patients were included in the study out of which 50 reserved combined (radiotherapy + surgery) and 38--complex (chemotherapy + radiotherapy + surgery) treatment. On assessing the clinical results we got the following results: after combined treatment 5-year survival was 45.9 +/- 7.0%, while after the complex method--37.2 +/- 7.8%. The inclusion of chemotherapy to the treatment does not significantly influence long-term results.

Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Background: Observation has been suggested as an alternative to surgical resection for small typical lung carcinoids. We sought to evaluate the potential impact of tumor growth and lymphatic spread during observation by examining predictors of node positivity and the impact of tumor size and node status on survival.
Methods: National Cancer Database cases of typical lung carcinoid resections from 2006 to 2016 were analyzed.
Five-Year Outcomes of Hybrid Arch Frozen Elephant Trunk Repair With Novel Multibranched Hybrid Graft.

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Western University, London Health Sciences Centre, London, Ontario, Canada.
Background: The objective of this study was to report the 5-year outcomes of hybrid arch frozen elephant trunk (FET) procedures with a multibranched hybrid graft.
Methods: Between 2014 and 2020, 50 consecutive patients (63 ± 15 years old; 34% women) underwent hybrid arch FET with Thoraflex hybrid graft (Terumo Aortic) at a single center. Indications included aortic aneurysm (n = 48 [96%]), acute aortic dissection (n = 10 [20%]), and chronic dissection (n = 20 [40%]).
Multimodal Therapy for T4 N2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Additional Ipsilateral Pulmonary Nodules.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2023
Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: The optimal treatment strategy for T4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with additional intrapulmonary nodules in a different ipsilateral lobe (T4-Add) is not well characterized across clinical N stages. This study evaluated long-term survival of patients with T4-Add N2 NSCLC who received multimodal therapy including surgical resection and chemotherapy vs concurrent chemoradiation.
Methods: Patients with T4-Add N2 M0 NSCLC in the National Cancer Database from 2010 to 2015 were included.
Significance of Pulmonary Artery Dilatation in Lung Cancer Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Who Underwent Pulmonary Resection.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka, Japan.
Background: The significance of pulmonary artery (PA) diameter in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who undergo pulmonary resection has not been elucidated.
Methods: Data of 357 patients with NSCLC and COPD who underwent pulmonary resection were retrospectively reviewed. The main PA diameter, determined by preoperative computed tomography, relative to the body surface area (PBR), was used as an index of PA dilatation, and patients were divided into 2 groups using median values.
