(2022)The differential diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity weakness is broad. We present a very rare case of a 48-year old male patient, with walking difficulties due to Bing–Neel syndrome. On clinical examination, there was ... -
Breast cancer: Follow-up with MRI after therapy
(2009)Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women worldwide. The incidence and mortality rates of the disease have increased the past few years, especially in richer countries that have adopted the mammographic screening ... -
Brentuximab vedotin in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. The Hellenic experience
(2018)This retrospective study aimed to describe the Hellenic experience on the use of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) given within its indication. From June 2011 to April 2015, ... -
Concomitant Bladder Tumor Is a Risk Factor for Bladder Recurrence but Not Upper Tract
(2022)Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of UTUC patients with or without concurrent bladder tumor. Design, Setting, and Participants: The Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society-Urothelial Carcinomas of ... -
The current role of surgery in the treatment of cardiac metastases from malignant melanoma: An educational presentation
(2021)A 71 year-old male with a history of multiple excisions of an initial Clark’s level V melanoma of the breast followed by combined radiation and interferon treatment, as well as a recurrence, 3 years later, of a BRAF-positive ... -
Endothelin-1 indicates unfavorable prognosis in primary high-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer
(2021)Objective: To conduct a prospective study of the potential prognostic role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in a cohort of primary high-grade non-muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer patients, who were treated with adjuvant ... -
The fate of BRCA1-related germline mutations in triple-negative breast tumors
(2017)The preservation of pathogenic BRCA1/2 germline mutations in tumor tissues is usually not questioned, while it remains unknown whether these interact with somatic genotypes for patient outcome. Herein we compared germline ... -
Greek Surgeon Pavlos Ioannou's Possible Influence on William Halsted's Famous Radical Mastectomy
(2017)Pavlos Ioannou performed an innovative surgical operation for breast cancer in Vienna University Hospital in 1861. A few years later, after his return to Greece, an operation performed on his closest friend's child, which ... -
High-risk pituitary adenomas and strategies for predicting response to treatment
(2022)High-risk pituitary adenomas are aggressive. They show clinical and imaging features similar to those of carcinomas, including infiltration of the surrounding brain structures, but lack cerebrospinal or systemic metastases. ... -
Identification of Very Low-Risk Subgroups of Patients with Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma Treated with R-CHOP
(2021)Background: R-CHOP can cure approximately 75% of patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL), but prognostic factors have not been sufficiently evaluated yet. R-da- EPOCH is potentially more effective ... -
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) in head and neck cancer: A systematic review
(2016)Background: Multimodality therapy constitutes the standard treatment of advanced and recurrent head and neck cancer. Since locoregional recurrence comprises a major obstacle in attaining cure, the role of intraoperative ... -
Microvessel Density and Impact of Angiogenesis on Survival of Resected Pancreatic Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2019)Objectives Angiogenesis plays a major role in tumor progression and metastasis; however, its role in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains unclear. The aim of the study was to explore the cumulative evidence concerning the impact ... -
Molecular determinants of radiosensitivity in normal and tumor tissue: A bioinformatic approach
(2017)Although radiation therapy is a treatment of choice for cancer, a high percentage of patients develop adverse effects in normal tissue following radiotherapy, mainly, due to genetic factors. Notably, although it is established ... -
Perioperative radiotherapy versus surgery alone for retroperitoneal sarcomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2020)There is no clear evidence on whether radiotherapy (RT) improves treatment result in patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS). A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus and CENTRAL databases. ... -
