Filter by:Treatment of stage IV esophageal cancer is traditionally palliative, but treatment response is usually poor. The role of surgery in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer remains controversial. We sought to determine whether surgical treatment followed by neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy might provide survival benefits for these patients. A retrospective review of esophageal cancer patients with M1 disease treated at National Taiwan University Hospital was performed from April 2002 to June 2021. Patient demographics and cancer staging, treatment, and disease recurrence, and time of follow up were included for analysis. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed for overall survival and progression-free survival analysis. Propensity score matching based on patient age and tumor staging characteristics was also performed for analysis.
Patients with symptomatic spinal metatstasis will be prosepectively included in a database after theu signes informed consent. Minimally six months after inclusion the survival status is analyzed. These are correlated with factors that are used in an earlier develloped prediction model
Evaluating the value of dynamic monitoring of a colorectal cancer liver metastasis cohort underwent curative resection after receiving multipoint ctDNA detecting in predicting recurrence prognosis and guiding adjuvant chemotherapy treatment.
Rising thyroid carcinoma rates, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) as the main type (85-90% of cases), often show early cervical lymph node spread. This increases the risk of PTC patients for recurrence and death. A new study's multimodal model fuses preoperative US and cytology images to better predict lymph node metastasis, aiming to improve treatment plans, reduce unnecessary surgeries, and enhance patient outcomes.
To assess the safety and of a single dose of IV infusion of placenta derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (PLMSCs) in patients with secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) disease. Monitoring will be encompassed baseline assessments and follow-ups over subsequent months, evaluating clinical signs, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), cytokines, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), cognitive & psychological evaluations, and flow cytometry for B cell markers.
Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population after spasticity. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor retardation. The presence of dystonia may affect motor function, pain, and ease of care in CP. Additionally, it can cause serious difficulties in daily living activities and social participation and long-term joint deformity. The increase in the severity of dystonia in CP children with secondary dystonia may affect the quality of life, activity and participation of the children, as well as the caregiver. The importance of caregivers is an undeniable fact, especially in these patient groups. This study aims to investigate the burden of dystonia severity on the participation in daily living activities and caregivers of children with CP with secondary dystonia.
The goal of this observational study is to construct a multimodal intelligent model to predict the risk of heterochronous metastasis of rectal cancer, which is helpful for individualized diagnosis and treatment and follow-up planning. The main questions it aims to answer are: - what are the independent risk factors of distant metastasis (DM) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) - What is the influence weight of the above factors on the heterochronous metastasis of LARC, and how to build a risk-prediction model This study will not affect or interfere with the routine medical diagnosis and treatment of participants, and will not increase the cost and risk of participants. Participant's information is protected and identified by a unique code.
Patients with lung cancer and brain metastases undergo HA-WBRT-SIB using image-guided radiotherapy, receiving a total dose of 30-36 Gy delivered in 18-20 fractions to the whole brain (CTV), while the dose to the GTV is boosted to 44 Gy-52 Gy in 18-20 fractions, five times a week. The optimal mean dose (Dmean) to the bilateral hippocampus should optimally be ≤ 8 Gy, with a mandatory maximum dose (Dmax) to the hippocampus not exceeding 10 Gy; the preferred Dmean to the hippocampus PRV should optimally be ≤ 9 Gy, while the mandatory Dmax to the hippocampus PRV should be ≤ 12 Gy. The HVLT-R immediate recall scores are obtained at baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.
Existing models do poorly when it comes to quantifying the risk of Lymph node metastases (LNM). This study generated elastic net regression (ELR), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and a combined (ensemble) model of these for LNM in patients with T1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
This study assesses the safety and efficacy of TXA for patients treated for pathological femur fractures using modular prosthetics.
