In the last years, especially thanks to a large diffusion of ultrasound-guided FNBs, a surprising increased incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), “small” tumors and microcarcinomas have been report...
Determining prognosis in advanced cancer is of key importance. Various prognostic scores have been developed. However, they are often very complex. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of neutrophil/lym...
Bilateral testicular neoplasia is rare, with an incidence ranging from 1 to 5 %. Long-term survival has improved in recent years due to advanced diagnostic approaches and new therapeutic methods that are highl...
K-ras gene mutations are common in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC); however, their prognostic value for PC remains inconclusive. This meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate the association...
Wegener’s granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis of the small- and medium-sized vessels, produced by the action of ANCA, which involves the respiratory tract, kidneys, and eyes, with a potential for lethal ev...
A number of patients treated conservatively for breast cancer will develop loco-regional and distant recurrences. Our aim was to determine how their occurrence may be linked to the evolution of the disease.
Aggressive chondroblastoma of the distal tibia is rare, and below-knee amputation had been the standard surgical procedure.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a kind of rare neurogenic tumor. If associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, MPNST usually has a higher mortality. The aim of the article is to assess the im...
