Filter by:The Systemic Oxidative Stress Score (SOSS) , a comprehensive score reflecting the oxidative stress conditions in the microenvironment, can independently and effectively predict tumor burden and long-term prognosis in GC patients. Nomograms based on SOSS provide a potential and promising model for risk stratification and guiding the implementation of treatment decisions.
This study aimed to develop a novel Prognostic Oxidative Stress-Immune-Inflammatory Score (POSII Score) and introduce an innovative online calculator designed to predict long-term survival and assess the recurrence risk of gastric cancer (GC).
over the past decade colon cancer has emerged as the second most deadly and the third most common type of cancer in the world with increasing incidence in Egypt due to life style and diet change. some research showed relation between colon cancer recurrence and advanced tumor staging. To investigators knowledge, this is the first time to be done in Zagazig University. Data was collected from records in a retrospective cohort study
The practice of intraoperative blood salvage and autotransfusion (IBSA) during deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can potentially reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. However, implementing IBSA remains debatable due to concerns about its possible detrimental effects on oncologic recurrence. Hence, a nationwide multi-center study was conducted to investigate further the association between IBSA and post-transplant HCC recurrence, including a stratified subgroup analysis.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for early-stage breast cancer is associated with an increased risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR). However, few studies have conducted subgroup analyses of patients with various molecular subtypes, which are one of the determinant factors for treatments. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the risk of LRR after NACT varies across tumor subtypes. The investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of female breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery at three institutions between January 1, 2004, and Dec 31, 2018.
Survivors of early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed before age 50) may experience colorectal cancer recurrence several years after curative-intent treatments, but clinical guidelines provide unclear guidance on endoscopic surveillance. This study aims to predict recurrence-free survival and overall survival, in survivors of early-onset colorectal cancer, using a tumor-based molecular assay based on microRNA (ribonucleic acid)
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common bacterial infections globally, causing a significant proportion of medical consultations in primary and outpatient settings. Recurrent UTI (rUTI) have a detrimental impact on the patient's quality of life, causing a negative effect on women's social relationships, self-esteem, as well as irritability and tiredness. Moreover, several real-life studies have shown that reproductive-aged women with rUTI more frequently experience sexual dysfunction as compared to controls without infections. The glycosaminoglycan layer of the bladder urothelium, mainly composed by chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA), provides a protective barrier against the penetration of bacteria. A deficiency of this layer facilitates bacterial adherence, leading to recurrent infection. Treatment to restore this layer with intravesical instillation of HA has been proven to reduce the incidence of rUTI episodes. Furthermore, intravesical instillation with HA has been associates with sexual function improvement in women with rUTI and painful bladder . Therefore, in conditions where the glycosaminoglycan layer of the bladder is impaired, such as rUTIs, treatment with HA to restore it appears to have a beneficial effect on urinary and sexual symptoms. Recently, a randomized control trial has demonstrated that an oral formulation of HA, CS, quercetin and curcumin was effective in improving urinary symptoms in women undergoing intravesical chemotherapy for bladder cancer. However, there are no studies investigating the impact of the oral administration of HA and CS on the sexual and urinary symptoms of women with rUTI. Since rUTI are highly prevalent in sexually active women and exert a detrimental impact on women's quality of life, sexual and urinary symptoms, the identification of oral treatments that could alleviate these bothersome consequences is of primary clinical importance. Therefore we will conduct this randomized, cross-over trial to evaluate the efficacy of an oral preparation of HA, CS, N-Acetylglucosamine and vitamin C in improving sexual and urinary symptoms in a cohort of reproductive-aged women with rUTI. Methods: Pre-menopausal, sexually active women referred to our center for symptomatic rUTIs. At the time of enrollment, participants were randomized with a 1:1 allocation ratio by means of a computer-generated random list in two groups: intervention (I) and control (C) (Figure 1). Inclusion and exclusion criteria We included sexually active, reproductive-aged women with symptomatic rUTIs. Exclusion criteria: younger than 18, if they had used combined hormonal contraception during the previous 6 months; pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, if they had symptoms of upper UTI, a history of urinary tract anomalies/vesicoureteral reflux, stress urinary incontinence, interstitial cystitis, diabetes, urinary tract stones, neurologic conditions, clinical depression or depressive symptoms. All women will be assessed with a thorough medical and sexual history. To psychometrically quantify sexual function impairment all participants completed The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire at baseline and at each follow up assessment. Treatment Protocol Group I: an oral preparation (capsule) of HA 100 mg, CS 400 mg, N-Acetylglucosamine 200 mg and vitamin C 80 mg once a day in the morning plus an oral preparation of cranberry, D-mannose, propolis extract, tumeric and Boswellia twice a day for three months. Group C: an oral preparation of cranberry, D-mannose, propolis extract, tumeric and Boswellia twice a day for three months. After three months of treatment (follow up 1) all women were evaluated with medical and sexual history. Participants also completed the FSFI and IPSS questionnaires. At this point the treatment was reversed (crossover scheme) for additional three months. At 6 months follow up (follow up 2) participants were again investigated with medical and sexual history and the IPSS and FSFI were completed. Figure 2 report the complete study design. Monthly phone calls were performed to check for adherence to treatment. Statistics: The sample size consisted of 25 participants in each group, calculated by using the two-sample t-test analysis. Baseline clinical and psychometric scores will be compared between I and C groups. Second, potential differences in FSFI values at 3-6 months follow-up assessment will be evaluated between and within groups. Potential predictors of FSFI improvement will be evaluated.
Vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) is an invasive metastatic factor in HCC independent of the epithelial mesenchyme transition (EMT), and VETC-positive patients have a higher rate of postoperative recurrence. However, it is not clear how the surgical prognosis of VETC-positive patients can be improved.
The goal of this multicenter retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the impact of different pathological regression types on survival and recurrence patterns, with a particular focus on ypT0N+ patients in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are the survival and recurrence patterns among the different pathological regression types in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common type of cancer globally. Due to its high incidence rate, high risk of recurrence and progression, and frequent cystoscopy surveillance, BC contributes to major healthcare costs across the world. The goal of this prospective study was to evaluate the prognostic value of novel non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) biomarkers for predicting disease recurrence or progression after radical transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). The data obtained from this study may help physicians identify patients who are at greater risk of NMIBC recurrence or progression and require close supervision.
