Seizures represent a major problem for patients with brain metastases. This study evaluated the role of seizures in patients receiving single-fraction radiosurgery (SRS) or multi-fraction stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT). This retrospective study included 195 patients receiving SRS (n=164) or FSRT (n=31) alone for one to three brain metastases. The...

We aimed to elucidate the clinical implication of the epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). CTCs isolated from 44 patients with non-recurrent/metastatic HNSCC and 42 with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) HNSCC were classified into four epithelial-mesenchymal tra...

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the least common subtype of cutaneous melanoma and typically occurs on the palms, soles, and nails. Tumor characteristics and disease severity in the US population are not well understood. Our aim was to analyze the characteristics of ALM of the extremities. We queried the National Cancer Database to identify pat...

Umbilical defunctioning ileostomy (UDI) spares one incision, which may reduce the overall incidence of incisional hernia. Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence and risk factors of incisional hernias between UDI and conventional defunctioning ileostomy (CDI) after ileostomy closure. Incidence of incisional hernia after ileostomy closure was compare...

We evaluated urinary levels of porphyrin metabolites, such as uroporphyrin (UP) and coproporphyrin (CP), after 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) administration in patients with or without pancreatic cancer (PaC). Sixty-seven subjects with PaC, 11 with pancreatitis, and 9 with normal pancreas (NP) were enrolled. Urine samples from all subjects were collec...

To evaluate the outcome of patients with unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CC) treated with external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and concurrent chemotherapy (CT) with or without intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT) boost or with definitive ILBT. A pooled analysis of patients with non-metastatic unresectable CC was performed. They were treated...

To investigate the usefulness of classification of ring-type dedicated breast positron-emission tomography (dbPET) findings in detection of breast cancer. A total of 709 patients with breast cancer underwent dbPET before treatment. Each finding was morphologically categorized as a focus (uptake size ≤5 mm), mass (>5 mm), or non-mass (multiple uptak...

Previous studies have identified pelvic tumors as a risk factor for surgical site infections (SSI). However, risk factors for extremity tumors are still unclear. This study investigated risk factors for postoperative deep infection in malignant bone tumors of the extremities. Data from 238 patients with 256 malignant bone tumor surgeries were revie...

A retrospective study was performed in 246 breast cancer patients to define whether tumor-to-nipple distance (TND) assessment by breast MRI may select patients eligible to nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) as compared to permanent section assessment of retroareolar margin. Pre- and post-operative parameters including imaging data, histology of the pr...

The Paris System (TPS) has recently been proposed as a method to standardize urinary cytology reporting. In this study, we evaluated the impact of implementing TPS compared to the traditional reporting system. In total, 299 urine samples were reclassified according to TPS. We examined correlations between cytological and histological diagnoses, and...
