Background/Aim: Differences in risk factors for melanoma between young adults (18-39 years) and middle-aged (40-60 years) are not well documented. In this study, we aimed to determine differences in risk factors and characteristics of melanoma between these groups. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study is a review on 330 patients, includin...

Background/Aim. Tooth extraction is a common procedure in dental clinics. Tooth extraction can destroy gingiva, alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments and cement. If dental sockets are left as extracted, it will result in loss of teeth, as well as voice and aesthetic problems. A natural hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramic bone graft substitute developed f...

Background/Aim: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis for radioactive iodine ablation refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC). Little is known whether NLR can be a tumor marker for RR-DTC patients treated with lenvatinib. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed RR-DTC patient...

Aim: to assess efficacy and safety of chemoembolization alone (TACE) and followed by bevacizumab (TACE-B) in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRC-LM) (NCT03732235). Patients and Methods: The study included 30 consecutive patients with CRC-LM. They were informed about the types of treatment available: TACE with irinotecan loaded into poly...

Background/Aim: Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + B-ALL) is caused by the malignant transformation of lymphoid cells induced by BCR-ABL1 constitutive catalytic activity. BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective against chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells, inducing durable hematological, cytogenetic and molec...

Background: Despite several clinical trials and advances in understanding the genetic basis of biliary tract cancer (BTC), the addition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted therapy does not seem to enhance the activity of first-line chemotherapy (CHT). Materials and Methods: We carried out a meta-analysis of available randomized clin...

Background/Aim: Previous research has suggested that patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) and bone metastases have a poorer prognosis compared to their counterparts with no skeletal involvement. Therefore, we analyzed the management and outcomes of such patients in our center. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective study of...

Background/Aim: Understanding prognostic factors of survival are important for treatment personalization in cancer patients. This study aimed to identify such factors for patients irradiated for bone metastases from prostate cancer. Patients and M ethods: Data from 74 patients irradiated between 01/2009 and 04/2019 were retrospectively evaluated. T...
