In accessory diaphragm, a rare congenital anomaly, the hemithorax is divided into two compartments by a fibromuscular membrane. Herein, we report the case of a 34-year-old woman with an accessory diaphragm who underwent two lung resections for suspected lung metastasis following surgery for cervical cancer 3 years ago. She was asymptomatic; no pulm...

BackgroundThe rate of pulmonary metastasectomy from colorectal cancer (CRC) has increased with recent advances in chemotherapy, diagnostic techniques, and surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors for response to pulmonary metastasectomy and the efficacy of repeat pulmonary metastasectomy.MethodsThis s...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often metastatic at diagnosis. Conventional therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy have generally proven ineffective in the treatment of RCC. The abscopal effect, specifically, the ability of localized radiation to trigger systemic antitumor effects, has been reported to lead to regression o...

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in young people. Recently, extracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, have been reported to play an increasingly important role in the development of many types of tumors. In this research, we found that overexpression of transformer 2β (TRA2B) was associated with tumor progression in o...

Introduction Technological advancements in computed tomography (CT) have enabled the frequent detection of small pulmonary nodules (PNs), especially in patients with an oncologic history. It is important the malignant versus benign etiology of PNs be determined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the behavior and clinical/radiological cha...

BackgroundSebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelid is an aggressive malignant eyelid tumor, and it can metastasize to the regional lymph nodes and distant organs. There have been only a few reported cases of patients who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for metastatic SGC. We herein report a patient who underwent repeat pulmonary metastasect...

Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare heterogeneous malignancies of mesenchymal origin. Pulmonary metastases develop in approximately 50% of the patients with high-grade STS, being the major cause of mortality in patients with metastatic STS. Pulmonary metastasectomy has been reported to contribute to long-term survival; however, an appropriate trea...
Introduction As pulmonary resection for metastatic gastric cancer has been rarely reported on, the role of metastasectomy remains unclear in such settings. We reviewed the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients with metachronous pulmonary metastasis from gastric cancer (MPMGC) diagnosed using multi-detector computed t...
