Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC): oncological outcomes and prognostic factors in a large multicentre series.

2011

Study Type - Outcomes (cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? About 80% of RCCs have clear cell histology, and consistent data are available about the clinical and histological characteristics of this histological subtype. Conversely, less attention has been dedicated to the study of non-clear cell renal tumours Specifically, published data show that chromophobe RCC (ChRCC) have often favourable pathological stages and better nuclear grades as well as a lower risk of metastasizing compared with clear cell RCC (ccRCC). Patients with ChRCC were shown to have significantly higher cancer-specific survival (CSS) probabilities compared with ccRCC. H…

Maternal coping strategies in response to a child's chronic and oncological disease: a cross-cultural study in Italy and Portugal

2013

A child's oncological or chronic disease is a stressful situation for parents. This stress may make it difficult for appropriate management strategies aimed at promoting the child's wellbeing and helping him or her cope with a disease to be adopted. In particular, this study focuses on the possible connections between the variable national cultural influences and the parental strategies used to cope with a child's severe disease by comparing the experiences of Italian and Portuguese mothers. The study investigates differences and cross-cultural elements among the coping strategies used by Italian and Portuguese mothers of children with oncological or chronic disease. Two groups of mothers t…

Coronectomy - An alternative approach to remove impacted teeth in oncological patients.

2018

Background Coronectomy involves the section of the tooth crown leaving the roots in the socket. Possibility of inferior alveolar nerve injury and mandibular fracture are the main indications for this approach. Herein, we describe a case series of coronectomy to highlight its indication in normal and oncological patients. Material and methods A total of 9 patients were submitted to coronectomy, 6 of them were oncological. Three patients were evaluated before head and neck radiotherapy (HNRT), 2 after HNRT and 1 before bone marrow transplantation. Results Mean age of the patients was 49 years, most of them male (n=7). Lower third molars were the main teeth that received this procedure, and al…

Knowledge and attitudes of general population belonging to pharmacies of the Province of Palermo regarding the colorectal carcinoma screening: Result…

2020

Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the leading cause of deaths every year. Oncological screening are health and social intervention that aims to diagnose a disease in an early stage. Although the high sensitivity and specificity of the colorectal cancer screening (CCS), the adherence in the Southern Italian Administrative Regions is low. A cross-sectional study on a sample of subjects belonging to five pharmacies located in the Province of Palermo, Italy, was conducted between June 2019 and February 2020 in order to evaluate knowledge and attitudes of general population regarding CC and CCS. A higher knowledge score among population interviewed was significantly associated with residency in P…

Diffusion-weighted imaging in oncology: An update

2020

To date, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is included in routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols for several cancers. The real additive role of DWI lies in the “functional” information obtained by probing the free diffusivity of water molecules into intra and inter-cellular spaces that in tumors mainly depend on cellularity. Although DWI has not gained much space in some oncologic scenarios, this non-invasive tool is routinely used in clinical practice and still remains a hot research topic: it has been tested in almost all cancers to differentiate malignant from benign lesions, to distinguish different malignant histotypes or tumor grades, to predict and/or assess treatment resp…

Tumeurs localisées du sein triple négatives en 2016 : définitions et prise en charge

2016

Triple-negative breast cancer (TN), as defined by the triple negativity in immunohistochemistry: the absence of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and the absence of overexpression or amplification of HER2, corresponds to 15 % of invasive breast cancers. This is a very heterogeneous group of tumors both at the genomic and transcriptomic level and at morphological, clinical and prognostic level. Although there are some good prognosis forms, the majority of TN tumors is characterized by a poor prognosis with a greater frequency of visceral metastases and a maximum risk of relapse in the first two years after diagnosis. Systemic adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy is almost always indic…

Male Breast Cancer: Oncologic Surgery

2020

Many cases of male breast cancer (MBC) have been diagnosed during recent years. The increased incidence of such a mortal disease has pointed out the need for solid and well-defined protocols in order to obtain early diagnosis, effective treatment, as well as a greater long-term survival. Although many similarities with female breast cancer support similar diagnostic and therapeutic paths, recent findings about MBC cell phenotypes and tumor behavior support the need for a more customized ai, t, i, ar. One thing is though sure: nowadays lack of knowledge about MBC needs to stimulate further research and the introduction of more standardized and univocal diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines.

Robotic-assisted right colectomy. Official expert recommendations delivered under the aegis of the French Association of Surgery (AFC)

2022

: Twenty-seven experts under the aegis of the French Association of Surgery (AFC) offer this reference system with formalized recommendations concerning the performance of right colectomy by robotic approach (RRC). For RRC, experts suggest patient installation in the so-called "classic" or "suprapubic" setup. For patients undergoing right colectomy for a benign pathology or cancer, RRC provides no significant benefit in terms of intra-operative blood loss, intra-operative complications or conversion rate to laparotomy compared to laparoscopy. At the same time, RRC is associated with significantly longer operating times. Data from the literature are insufficient to define whether the robot f…
