Age-related socio-economic and geographic disparities in breast cancer stage at diagnosis: a population-based study.
2015
Background: This study aimed to determine the impact of socio-economic and geographic disparities on disease stage at diagnosis according to age in breast cancer (BC) patients. Secondary purpose was to describe survival . Methods: All women with primary invasive BC, diagnosed from 1998 to 2009 in the department of Cote d’Or were retrospectively selected using data from the Cote d’Or BC registry. European transnational ecological deprivation index (French European Deprivation Index) was used to measure the socio-economic environment. Relationships between socio-geographic deprivation and disease stage at diagnosis according to age were assessed by a multilevel ordered logistic regression mod…

Challenging management of gingival squamous cell carcinoma: a 10 years single-center retrospective study on Northern-Italian patients.
2020
Background Aim of this study was to describe the outcome of patients with gingival squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC), and to recognize aspects affecting clinical course and to consider survival rate. Material and Methods The case records of patients, over a 10-year period, were retrospectively examined. Differences in distribution of the potential risk factors by prognosis were investigated through non-parametrical tests (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum and Fisher’s Exact). Survival curves for age, therapy and stage were built by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Log-Rank test. Results 79 patients were analysed. Significant increase in mortality for patients older than 77 and for those with advanced…
Adherence to Guidelines among Italian Urologists on Imaging Preoperative Staging of Low-Risk Prostate Cancer: Results from the MIRROR (Multicenter It…
2011
Objective. A number of evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and management of prostate cancer have been published. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adherence of Italian urologists to the guidelines concerning the preoperative imaging staging of prostate cancer.Methods. In October 2007 a multicentric observational perspective study called Multicentric Italian Report on Radical prostatectomy Outcome and Research (MIRROR) was started in 135 Italian urology centers. Recruitment was closed in December 2008 and 2,408 cases were collected. In this paper we have taken into consideration all examinations carried out for preoperative imaging staging, evaluating compliance with the recommen…
Technik der Mesohepatektomie
2016
Bei Patienten mit einer primar oder sekundar malignen zentralen Leberraumforderung stellt die Resektion im Sinne einer erweiterten Hemihepatektomie rechts bzw. links das Standardverfahren dar. Unter Berucksichtigung der erhohten Morbiditat und Mortalitat bei erweiterten Resektionen und dem Aspekt des hohen Verlusts an gesundem Lebergewebe stellt die zentrale Leberresektion oder Mesohepatektomie (Resektion der Segmente 4a/4b, 5 und 8) mit oder ohne Resektion des Segments 1 eine technisch anspruchsvolle und weiterhin selten genutzte Alternative dar. Die Resektionsgrenzen liegen rechtsseitig des Lig. falciforme und auf der oft schwierig zu identifizierenden Grenze zwischen den Segmenten 5/6 so…
Abrikossoff-Granulosazelltumor: Ein seltener Tumor des Oesophagus
1997
Es wird uber einen 41 jahrigen Patienten berichtet, bei dem eine abdominothorakale Oesophagusresektion durchgefuhrt wurde nachdem ein Granulosazelltumor der Speiserohre in der praoperativen Diagnostik als malignes Plattenepithelcarcinom verkannt worden war. Granulosazelltumoren des Oesophagus sind sehr seltene zumeist benigne Tumoren neuroektodermalen Ursprungs. Die Diagnose ergibt sich aus dem endoskopischen Aspekt und der histologischen Untersuchung und immunohistochemischen Aufarbeitung des Biopsats. Aufgrund der histologischen Eigenart des Tumors besteht Verwechslungsgefahr mit Plattenepithelcarcinomen.
Moderate hypofractionated helical tomotherapy for localized prostate cancer: preliminary report of an observational prospective study.
2019
Objective: To report preliminary findings of a phase II study exploring the clinical outcomes of moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy performed with helical tomotherapy (HT) using computed tomography–magnetic resonance imaging–based planning for localized prostate cancer. Methods: The phase II prospective study received ethics approval from our institutional ethics committee. A dose of 60 Gy/20 fractions for low–intermediate risk prostate cancer by means of HT was explored. Primary endpoints of the study were acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities. Secondary endpoints were quality of life and biochemical-free survival. Results: A total of 35 patients were i…
IMAGING FINDINGS SYSTEMATIZATION AND IMAGING STAGING PROPOSAL IN BISPHOSPHONATES ASSOCIATED OSTEOMYLITIS/OSTEONECROSIS OF THE JAWS
2011
INTRODUZIONE I Bifosfonati (BPs), farmaci analoghi al pirofosfato, sono usati nel trattamento dell’osteoporosi, nella malattia di Paget, nel mieloma multiplo e nelle metastasi ossee. Sebbene siano molto utili nella sintomatologia osteolitica, dal 2003 è stata descritta la correlazione tra la loro somministrazione e l’insorgenza dell’osteonecrosi dei mascellari (BRONJ). Il nostro studio si propone di descrivere la superiorità delle immagini TC nei pazienti in cura con BPs affetti da BRONJ, e di raggruppare gli stessi in accordo con una classificazione radiologica basata sulla presenza o meno dei segni dell’osteomielite/osteonecrosi e delle successive complicanze. Si dimostra, inoltre, l’impo…
Impact of Obesity on Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Patients with apparent Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer: The ObeLyX study
2022
Conflicting data exists on the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on sentinel lymph-node (SLN) detection. The primary study endpoint was to investigate the impact of obesity on overall detection rate, bilateral mapping, and mapping failure rate of SLN. In addition, we evaluated possible differences in terms of surgical management and "empty-packet dissection" rate among obese and non-obese patients.Multicenter, propensity-matched, retrospective study. Patients with apparent early-stage endometrial cancer were included. Study population was divided into women with BMI/≥ 30 (Group-1 and Group-2). To lower the selection bias, a propensity-matched analysis was performed. Matching was based on hist…
A large multicenter propensity match study of sentinel lymph node biopsy feasibility in endometrioid variants of endometrial cancer
2022
Introduction: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy algorithm has been routinely applied in all endometrial endometrioid tumors, however, no studies analyzed the feasibility of SLN mapping in endometrioid variants (EV), which included villoglandular, secretory, ciliated cell, mucinous, and squamous differentiation. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of SLN biopsy in EV of EC. Materials and methods: All patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical treatment for early-stage EC were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 study groups: Group 1 which included patients with EV, and Group 2 which included patients with typical endometrioid histology. A propensity match anal…
