Well known scoring systems help surgeons to evaluate the patient''s prognosis and to choose adequate treatment options. However, tumor entities are differentiated without regard to the molecular subtypes. In this article we describe surgical treatment options in metastatic lesions to the spine with ...
Confirm the diagnosis on image-guided prostate biopsy. Stage prostate cancer to determine the appropriate management and prognosis.Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levelsPSA is a serine protease produced only in the prostate gland and, therefore, is an organ-specific marker. It is not cancer-specific...
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) could be a promising target for tumor imaging and therapy, as it is expressed in >90% of epithelial cancers. A high level of FAP-expression might be associated with worse prognosis in several cancer types, including lung cancer. FAPI binds this protein and ...
Cancer that starts in the pancreas is called pancreatic cancer. This picture of the pancreas shows its location in the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas is a hormone-producing organ in the abdomen that sits in front of the spine above the level of thebelly button. It ...

prognosis. In this review, we begin by providing a brief overview of the epidemiology of bone metastasis in breast cancer, including current diagnostic tools, treatment approaches, and existing challenges. Then, we will introduce the pathophysiology of breast cancer bone metastasis (BCBM) and the ...
of methods used to develop prognostic indices and risk groups from the models and measures used to determine how well the model predicted prognosis. We have set our findings in the context of the methodological literature that has studied the impact of using different methods of model predictions....

Methods: Nineteen patients with lung cancers involving the spine underwent en bloc resection. Eleven received induction treatment (chemotherapy, n = 5; chemoradiotherapy, n = 4; and radiation, n = 2). Pneumonectomy was performed in 3 patients, lobectomy in 13 patients, and wedge resection in 3...
The tumour reaches the spinal column mainly by the venous route. The frequency of involvement in decreasing order is thoracic spine, lumbar spine and cervical spine. The tumour usually exerts compression of the cord from the extradural space. However, intradural and intramedullary metastases have ...
