Background: Bone invasion has long been recognized as a poor prognostic indicator for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Survival analyses of factors associated with SCC with bone invasion have not been published.
Objective: To analyze all published demographic, clinical, and treatment data for SCC with bone invasion and assess the impact of prognostic variables on disease progression, disease-specific death, and overall mortality.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review and pooled-survival analysis was performed using individual patient data from case reports. Progression-free survival (PFS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Results: The study included 76 cases of SCC with bone invasion from 49 publications. Recurrent tumors and nonsurgical treatment modality were predictors of disease progression in univariable analysis and tumors of the trunk, head, and neck were predictors of disease progression in multivariable analysis. At 5 years from bone invasion diagnosis, patients had a PFS, DSS, and OS rate of 66.7%, 71.7%, and 66.2%, respectively.
Conclusion: Cases of SCC with bone invasion had poor DFS, DSS, and OS rates, with worse outcomes imparted to tumors of the trunk, head, and neck.

Aims: Childhood cancer is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in later life. Retinal examination allows to non-invasively observe the vasculature of an end-organ. We observe alterations in long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS).

The scope of existing annular closure device (ACD) studies examining long-term follow-up data is limited. There is a paucity of studies that report and analyze recent outcomes data following ACD use. We sought to summarize the available long-term follow-up data on postoperative outcomes of the Barricaid (Intrinsic Therapeutics) ACD.

Computer-guided surgery is a new technology in the field of implant dentistry. The surgical guide is produced using cone-beam computed tomography along with the patient's intraoral scanning, with both documents integrated into software to produce the guide. It is important to note that surgery guided by tomography aims to achieve better diagnosis, planning, surgical precision, and prognosis.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a widely utilized minimally invasive technique originally developed for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. It has since expanded to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, pathologic vertebral fractures resulting from primary or secondary spinal tumors, and traumatic spinal fractures. Despite its benefits, PVP is associated with significant complications, the most common of which is bone cement leakage.

Introduction: Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), characterized by a diameter of ≥5 cm and a potential for deep tissue invasion. This study aimed to present our experience with the surgical management of GBCC in the maxillofacial region, focusing on resection and immediate reconstruction strategies.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 5926 patients with BCC in the maxillofacial region from 2010 to 2020, with a specific emphasis on 32 patients diagnosed with GBCC.
