Preoperative iron status, clinical parameters (i.e. age, ASA classification, tumour location, tumour stage) and postoperative complications were retrospectively collected for all newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients in our institution over a 3-year period. Iron deficiency was observed in 163 (...
Patient-related characteristics extracted were mean age, mean cancer antigen (CA)125, mean size of CPLN, percentage of histologically proven metastatic lymph nodes, FIGO stage, histology, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, surgical outcome, presence of extra-abdominal metastasis,...
The statistical analysis did not reveal any significant differences between the two patient groups in terms of gender distribution, prevalence of comorbidities, ASA status, age, height, weight, BMI, duration and type of surgery. The majority of patients in both groups were female. The most common...
3). Analysed at a per-patient level, this correlation held, even when considering tumours with similar purity and ploidy (Supplementary Fig. 3). Why such correlation should apply on a pan-cancer basis is unclear. It is likely that age has some role, as we observe a correlation between ...

The phylogenetic tree revealed no correlation with patient age, tumor stage or location, within or between clusters (Supplementary Fig. 6a). Genome-level analysis demonstrated high popANI values to the reference genomes in oCRC and yCRC (Supplementary Fig. 6b). While the nucleotide diversity of ...
Among all the applicants, only patients who met the following 5 criteria were chosen to join in our study: patients had to (1) be over 18 years old; (2) have an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification of II or III; (3) be scheduled to undergo a lapar...
Linkage of patient identifiers through the different sources of information enabled identification of children who were examined in several departments. Follow-up. The children were followed from the date of their first CT scan until their exit date, which was the earliest of 31 December 2011, ...
In this review, we will highlight the key changes in the newly devised fifth edition of the WHO classification scheme of thyroid tumors with reflections on its applicability in patient management and future directions in this field. Keywords: WHO classification; thyroid tumor; thyroid carcinoma; ...
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancy and is treated with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Extended length of stay (LOS) after surgery can affect patient morbidity, overall costs, and hospital resource utilizati...
