Filter by:The superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) is a complex nervous collection located at the lumbosacral region below the level of the aortic bifurcation at the level of the lower third of the fifth lumbar vertebral body and upper third of the first sacral vertebral body at the sacral promontory Neurolytic agents, such as alcohol and phenol have been used to ablate peripheral nerves to treat pain and spasticity . These agents were nonspecific for neuronal tissue and complications have been seen involving damage to surrounding soft tissue (skin, muscle, vascular) and pain on alcohol injection Lidocaine has been demonstrated to be neurotoxic in high concentrations at 10% and can be used as a neurolytic agent with no effect on motor function, muscle state, or surrounding tissue rather than other neurolytic.
This study aims to determine the functional outcomes of patients who underwent internal hemipelvectomy with or without reconstruction or external hemipelvectomy for pelvic tumors. Learning about the outcomes of these patients may help researchers determine the long-term effects of different types of hemipelvectomy procedures and may help improve quality of life.
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding cabozantinib to avelumab versus avelumab alone in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and avelumab together may further shrink the cancer or prevent it from returning/progressing.
Flap reconstruction is utilised increasingly for repair of skin and soft tissue defects following pelvic exenteration. Many methods have been proposed but the outcomes associated with each remain largely unknown and the choice dependant on surgeon preference and patient/ disease characteristics. This review sought to assess the preferred methods for perineal reconstruction following pelvic exenteration by retrospectively assessing the outcomes associated with each at an international, multi-centre level.
Patients with locally advanced pelvic malignancy undergo radical procedures, necessitate organ reconstruction. Little is known about the preferred methods of gynaecological organ reconstruction in the context of pelvic exenteration. This review aims to identify which methods are commonly used and what outcomes are associated with each technique in order to further guide future practice.
Effect of Probiotics on Raditon Enteritis in Pelvic Tumor Patients Receiving Radiotherapy.
Background: Acetabular reconstruction in situ after extensive pelvic resection is technically challenging because the significant loss of bone stock and bony landmarks. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of an individualized navigation template for acetabular reconstruction following pelvic malignancy resection. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent type II or II+III pelvic tumor resection and reconstruction using a modular hemipelvic prosthesis. In the template-guided group (n = 10), a navigation template was designed and applied to assist acetabular reconstruction. In the traditional operation group (n = 14), the patients underwent the same surgery but without the navigation template. To compare the displacement of the hip rotation center before and after surgery between the two groups, an innovative method based on pelvic CT was developed and a validation group of cases was used to assess the effectiveness of this measurement approach. In the validation group (n = 12), patients undergoing periacetabular puncture or curettage without hip joint reconstruction were included. The displacements for the validation group were calculated and compared with 0 cm, the theoretical value. Subsequently, the displacements between the template-guided group and the traditional operation group were compared.
This phase Ib trial evaluates the best dose, potential benefits, and/or side effects of erdafitinib in combination with enfortumab vedotin in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and possesses genetic alterations in FGFR2/3 genes. Erdafitinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal FGFR protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate. Giving erdafitinib in combination with enfortumab vedotin may shrink or stabilize metastatic bladder cancer with alterations in FGFR 2/3 genes.
This phase II trial studies the effect of nivolumab in urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), specifically in patients with aberrations in ARID1A gene (ARID1A mutation) and correlate with expression level of CXCL13, an immune cytokine. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab may help control the disease in patients with urothelial cancer or solid tumors. This trial aims at enriching patient selection based on genomic and immunological attributes of the tumor.
This phase II trial investigates the side effects of tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the immune system to decrease immune-related toxicities. Giving tocilizumab, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may kill more tumor cells.
