Granular cell tumor of stomach: a case report and review of literature.
2006
Granular cell tumor (GCT) was described for the first time by Abrikosoff in 1926. It is a relatively rare neoplasm that may occur at many sites, but most commonly in the skin or soft tissues. The occurrence of GCT in the gastrointestinal tract is rare, accounting approximately for 8% of all tumors, among which the most common site is the esophagus, whereas gastric localization is very rare. Gastric GCTs can be solitary or, more frequently, associated with other gastrointestinal localization. Although GCTs are usually clinically and histologically benign, some malignant cases have been reported. Histologically, these tumors consist of polygonal and fusiform cells disposed in compact "nests" …
Curative therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma: an update and perspectives.
2015
Curative treatments, including liver transplantation, surgical resection and percutaneous treatments, are the recommended therapies in BCLC-0 (Barcelona Clinic of Liver Cancer) or BCLC-A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This review provides an overview of some issues of clinical importance concerning curative treatments in HCC.
The actual management of colorectal liver metastases
2020
Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in the world and between 50% and 60% of patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) during the disease. There have been great improvements in the management of CRLM during the last decades. The combination of modern chemotherapeutic and biological systemic treatments with aggressive surgical resection strategies is currently the base for the treatment of patients considered unresectable until few years ago. Furthermore, several new treatments for the local control of CRLM have been developed and are now part of the arsenal of multidisciplinary teams for the treatment of these complex patients. The aim of this review was to s…

Isolated osteoblastoma of the cuboid bone: A case report and review of the literature
2020
Osteoblastoma is a relatively rare, benign, bone-forming tumor, commonly observed in the second and third decades of life. Spine and the long tubular bones are the most common sites of involvement. Osteoblastoma is infrequently seen in other sites, including the bones of hand and foot. A rare case of a 35-year-old man that presented an osteoblastoma of the cuboid bone is reported. The patient was treated with surgical resection and grafting. After the intervention, the patient recovered with no clinical and radiological evidence of recurrence after one year of follow-up. Several cases of osteoblastoma-like variant of osteosarcoma of the cuboid have been previously reported, but, to our know…
The “RENAISSANCE” Trial: Effect of chemotherapy alone vs. chemotherapy followed by surgical resection on survival and quality of life in patients wit…
2017
TPS4140 Background: Recent data indicates that surgical resection may bring a benefit for select patients with metastatic gastric / esophagogastric junction cancer. However, no data obtained in randomized trials is available up to now. The current RENAISSANCE trial investigates this long-lasting question about the role of surgical intervention in limited-metastatic gastric / esophagogastric junction cancer. Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, investigator initiated phase III trial. In this study, previously untreated patients with limited metastatic stage (retroperitoneal lymph node metastases only or a maximum of one incurable organ site that is potentially resectable…

Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Brain Tumor Surgical Planning: Feasibility in Clinical Setting.
2019
The aim of this study was to introduce resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rest-fMRI) capability for brain tumor surgical planning. rest-fMRI is an emerging functional neuroimaging technique potentially able to provide new insights into brain physiology and to provide useful information regarding brain tumors in preoperative and postoperative settings. rest-fMRI evaluates low-frequency fluctuations in the blood oxygen level–dependent signal while the subject is at rest during magnetic resonance imaging examination. Multiple resting-state networks have been identified, including the somatosensory, language, and visual networks, which are of primary importance for surgical pl…
Comparison of endoscopic and open resection for Haglund tuberosity in a cadaver study.
2006
Background: About half of patients who have Haglund disease may require treatment by surgical resection of the superior portion of the calcaneal tuberosity. Endoscopic techniques have been described as alternatives to open surgery, but only results of uncontrolled retrospective clinical investigations have been reported. Up to now no research is available which compares these different procedures. Methods: A controlled laboratory study was done to evaluate the morphologic appearance of the superior portion of the calcaneal tuberosity after endoscopic or open resection. The tuberosity was resected in 15 isolated fresh-frozen human cadaver lower limb specimens with either open (nine) or endos…
