The document discusses surgical management options for colon cancer. It covers the incidence and risk factors for colon cancer, methods of diagnosis including physical examination, colonoscopy and radiological imaging. The aims of surgical treatment are complete excision of the tumor and metastatic deposits where feasible or palliation if not possible. The chance of cure depends on disease stage, with 5-year survival rates ranging from 90% for stage I to less than 5% for stage IV. Surgical resection is curative for stage I-II cancers if the surgery is complete with adequate margins and lymph node dissection.

1) The document discusses advances in the treatment of anal cancer, including the standard treatment of concurrent chemoradiation with fluorouracil and mitomycin-C based on several phase III clinical trials.
2) Multiple large randomized controlled trials have shown that concurrent chemoradiation improves survival, local control and reduces the need for colostomy compared to radiation alone.
3) Ongoing research continues to explore optimization of chemoradiation regimens and the potential role of maintenance chemotherapy.
ACHO 2017 - Rectal Cancer
1) Multimodal treatment of rectal cancer involves different sequencing of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery depending on the stage of disease.
2) For locally advanced stages II-IVa rectal cancer, preoperative chemoradiation is preferred to reduce local recurrence rates compared to postoperative chemoradiation or radiation alone.
3) The optimal chemoradiation regimen involves short-course radiation combined with 5-FU or capecitabine-based chemotherapy. Adding oxaliplatin to this regimen may improve survival.
Carcinogenic agents and their cellular interactions
Sir Percival Pott correctly linked scrotal cancer in chimney sweeps to exposure to soot over 200 years ago. There are three main classes of carcinogenic agents that can cause genetic damage and cancer: chemicals, radiant energy, and microbial agents. Chemicals and radiant energy are documented human carcinogens, while oncogenic viruses are involved in cancer in some animal and human tumors.
Lecture3 kensler
This document discusses environmental carcinogenesis and provides evidence that environmental and lifestyle factors play an important role in cancer causation in humans. It summarizes that while overall cancer rates are reasonably constant between countries, the rates of specific cancer types can vary greatly, and migrant populations assume the cancer risks of their new environments. This provides strong epidemiological evidence that environmental exposures influence cancer development.
Acho 2017 Anal Cancer
- Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin-C is the standard treatment for anal cancer based on results from several phase III randomized controlled trials showing superior outcomes over radiotherapy alone.
- The optimal time to assess complete clinical response after chemoradiotherapy is at 18 weeks, as 72% of patients who did not show complete response at 11 weeks did show complete response by 18 weeks.
- Maintenance chemotherapy after chemoradiotherapy does not improve outcomes for anal cancer based on results of the randomized ACT II trial.
Carcinogenesis
Carcinogenesis is a multistep process that involves genetic damage and alterations. Environmental and hereditary factors can cause initiation through DNA damage from chemicals, viruses, or radiation. This is followed by a latent stage and promotion as more DNA changes accumulate, eventually resulting in malignant transformation and tumor formation. Cancer develops through the sequential acquisition of multiple genetic defects over time.
Neoplasia & Carcinogenesis
Neoplasia refers to abnormal cell growth or tumors. There are two main types of neoplasia - benign and malignant. Benign tumors remain localized and are non-invasive, while malignant tumors can invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites through lymphatic vessels or blood vessels in a process called metastasis. The development of cancer is a multistep process that involves genetic mutations that activate oncogenes and inactivate tumor suppressor genes, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth and division. Key hallmarks of cancer include self-sufficiency in growth signals, insensitivity to growth inhibitory signals, evasion of apoptosis, limitless replicative potential, sustained angiogenesis, and ability to invade and metastasize.
Carcinogenesis(penfriend841)
Carcinogenesis is the process by which normal cells are transformed into cancerous cells. It involves genetic changes that affect cell proliferation, differentiation, and interaction. Carcinogenesis is influenced by factors like family history, age, environment, lifestyle, and viruses. The process involves initiation of DNA damage, promotion of cell growth, progression of the cancer, and potential metastasis. Staging of cancer describes the extent of spread from Stage 0 carcinoma in situ to Stage IV cancer that has metastasized to distant organs. Diagnosis involves tumor markers, imaging, and biopsy to evaluate extent of disease. Nursing care focuses on preventing infection, managing skin integrity issues from radiation, nutritional support, and other side effects of cancer treatment.

Immunohistochemical examination of the level of neuroendocrine differentiation
Immunohistochemical examination of the level of neuroendocrine differentiationSekcija za NIR Medicinskog fakulteta u Foči. Boris Maslovski. Medicinski fakultet Foca.
The document examines neuroendocrine differentiation in colorectal adenocarcinoma. It analyzes 90 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgery. Tissue samples were examined for chromogranin A expression via immunohistochemistry. Results showed higher levels of chromogranin A expression correlated with later disease stages and poorer prognostic factors like higher T stage and lymph node metastasis. Specifically, there was a statistically significant difference in chromogranin A expression between stages II/III and stages T3a/b and T3c/d. In conclusion, neuroendocrine differentiation positively correlates with increased disease stage and worse prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinoma.JCO
A 69-year-old man presented with abdominal and shoulder pain. Imaging showed a large pleural-based mass in his left lung. Biopsy of the mass revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. He was treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy and achieved complete remission. Primary lymphoma of the pleura is extremely rare but can occur without associated conditions like HIV or prior tuberculosis. Biopsy is needed to diagnose pleural tumors due to lack of specific imaging features.
Cancer and virsues
This document discusses viruses that can cause cancer in humans. It describes how certain DNA viruses, like HPV and HBV, integrate into the host cell's genome and influence cell cycle progression by encoding proteins that alter normal cell cycle control genes. This leads to cellular transformation and the potential for tumor development. It provides details on specific human cancer-causing viruses, their viral oncoproteins that subvert the cell cycle, and the cellular targets and cancers they are associated with, such as HPV's role in cervical cancer through the actions of the E6 and E7 proteins.
Collision Tumor of the Thorax
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common cancer in the United States, and high-risk SCC is associated with more aggressive tumor behavior and correlated with poorer outcomes. This case study illustrates a patient who was found to have a large, fungating mass that had been neglected for 20 years. An excisional biopsy was completed, and the mass was identified histologically with two distinct patterns of invasive carcinoma: SCC and adenoid basal cell carcinoma, thus a collision tumor. This case report discusses risk factors and possible treatment options for this rare presentation.
Talimogene (T-VEC) : virotherapy in melanoma

2) In a Phase III clinical trial, T-VEC showed a significantly higher durable response rate compared to GM-CSF in treating unresectable stage IIIB-IV melanoma with minimal side effects.
3) T-VEC is the first oncolytic virus to demonstrate efficacy in a Phase III trial, showing promise as a new treatment approach by killing tumor cells and inducing anti-tumor immune responses.
Molecular localization of epstein barr virus and rb tumor suppressor gene exp...
This document summarizes a study analyzing the expression of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and the Rb tumor suppressor gene in prostate tissues. Seventy-two tissue samples, including 40 from prostate cancer and 20 from benign prostatic hyperplasia, were tested for EBV and Rb expression. EBV was detected in 47.5% of cancer samples but only 10% of benign samples, and not in healthy controls. Rb expression was also detected in 47.5% of cancer samples and 10% of benign samples. The high rate of co-expression of EBV and Rb in cancer tissues suggests these factors may play an important role in prostate carcinogenesis.

Marjolin's ulcers
This document provides a review of Marjolin's ulcers (MUs), which represent malignant degeneration that develops in post-burn scars and wounds. Some key points:
- MUs most commonly occur in areas of full thickness burns that healed through secondary intention, wounds that never fully healed, or unstable post-burn scars.
- The incidence of MUs in post-burn lesions is reported to be 0.77-2%. They typically present as flat, indurated ulcers or exophytic papillary growths.
- Lower limbs are the most frequent site affected. The average latency period between initial burn and MU development is 35 years, though it can range from less than
Carcinogenesis , invasion & metastasis
This document summarizes key concepts about carcinogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. It discusses how cancer arises from stem cells and malignant cells grow uncontrollably by evading the body's defenses. Cancer development is driven by genetic changes that result in overexpression of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressor genes. The process of invasion and metastasis is multistep, involving angiogenesis, loss of cell adhesion, proteolysis, and spread through natural pathways. Some cancers may exist asymptomatically for many years without detection. The goal of treatment is quality of life rather than an undefined concept of cure, as asymptomatic coexistence is possible.
Pre management of carcinoma urinary bladder
This document provides an overview of bladder cancer including its anatomy, epidemiology, risk factors, screening, clinical features, pathological classification, natural history, diagnosis, staging, and prognosis. Some key points are:
- Bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer worldwide and occurs predominantly in older white males with a history of smoking or chemical exposure.
- Screening has limited utility but cystoscopy and biopsy are used for diagnosis. Pathological classification includes transitional cell carcinoma (90% of cases) which can be papillary/superficial, solid/invasive, or carcinoma in situ.
- Staging uses the AJCC TNM system and determines prognosis, from over 85% 5-year survival for stage 0
A presentation on Carcinogens
This document discusses carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents. It defines carcinogens and explains how they can cause cancer. Some key carcinogens include chemicals, viruses, radiation, and lifestyle factors like smoking. The document outlines how agencies like the IARC and NTP classify carcinogens based on evidence from studies. It also provides recommendations for reducing exposure to carcinogens and properly disposing of carcinogenic substances.
carcinogens and carcinogenesis
This document discusses carcinogens and carcinogenesis. It defines carcinogenesis as the mechanism of inducing tumors, and carcinogens as agents that can induce tumors. Carcinogenesis is discussed under chemical, physical, and biological carcinogens. Chemical carcinogens are divided into direct-acting and indirect-acting carcinogens. The stages of chemical carcinogenesis are initiation, promotion, and progression. Physical carcinogens include radiation like ultraviolet light and ionizing radiation, as well as non-radiation agents. Biological carcinogens discussed are viruses, which can induce cancer through integrating into the host cell DNA or by retroviruses inserting their genome.

Tobacco smoking and occupational exposure to chemicals are the most important risk factors for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Diagnosis involves cystoscopy, urinary cytology, and biopsy of any lesions found. Tumors are graded based on histology. Carcinoma in situ is diagnosed through cystoscopy and random bladder biopsies. Resection of tumors aims to completely remove all visible lesions while obtaining detrusor muscle in specimens. New techniques like photodynamic diagnosis and narrow-band imaging aid in visualizing lesions.
Watch & Wait' in rectal cancer
1) Non-operative management or 'watch and wait' involves avoiding surgery for rectal cancer patients who achieve a complete clinical response after chemoradiation therapy.
2) The goal is to avoid the morbidities associated with surgery if the clinical response indicates the cancer has been eradicated.
3) Patients undergo regular examinations and imaging to monitor for tumor regrowth, with the first year involving examinations every 6-8 weeks and subsequent years every 3-6 months.
Carcinogenic food contaminants
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and diet is thought to play a substantial role in cancer development. Food contaminants like aflatoxins, alcohol, dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrosamines, and toxins found in salted fish and maté have been classified as carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to humans based on studies in animals and humans. Many of these contaminants are known to cause liver, respiratory tract, and other cancers depending on the contaminant. Ongoing research and risk assessments by government agencies continue to evaluate links between diet, food contaminants, and cancer risk.
Etiology of cancer
The document discusses the etiology and risk factors of cancer. It covers topics like the definition of cancer and carcinogenesis, the theories of carcinogenesis including the gene mutation theory and aneuploidy theory. It describes the process of carcinogenesis including initiation, promotion, progression, and metastasis. It discusses various etiological factors of cancer such as biological, chemical, physical, radiation, hormonal, viral, dietary, emotional, and environmental factors. The document provides details on various known chemical carcinogens and their association with different cancer types in humans.
T-Vec Seminar 2
Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is an oncolytic viral therapy genetically modified to selectively replicate in tumor cells. It is indicated for local treatment of unresectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, and nodal lesions in patients with melanoma recurrent after initial surgery. A clinical trial evaluated T-VEC in 50 patients with stage IIIc-IV melanoma and found an overall response rate of 26%, with durable responses in some patients and a manageable safety profile. T-VEC provides a new treatment option for advanced melanoma, though it has not been shown to improve overall survival or affect visceral metastases.

The goal is to maximize cure while maintaining quality of life.
SLNB
This document summarizes a study comparing the morbidity of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone versus SLNB followed by completion axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer. The study found that postoperative morbidity was significantly lower in the SLNB alone group, including less pain, numbness, range of motion issues, and lymphedema. However, intermediate and long-term complications like lymphedema and tumor recurrence rates were equivalent between the groups. The study concludes that while SLNB alone has lower initial morbidity, ALND significantly increases long-term issues like lymphedema and quality of life impacts.
Liver tumors
This document provides information on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) including its anatomy, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, staging, and management. HCC most commonly develops in cirrhotic livers as a result of risk factors like hepatitis or alcohol abuse. Imaging like ultrasound and CT are used to diagnose and stage HCC lesions. Treatment depends on the extent of disease and liver function, and may include resection, ablation, transplantation, or sorafenib for advanced disease. Managing HCC requires a multidisciplinary approach due to the risk of recurrence from residual disease in the liver.

Mri Pulse Seqs
Steady-state free precession (SSFP) is a unique MRI sequence that uses both spin echo and gradient echo techniques. In SSFP, gradient echoes are acquired in each repetition time (TR) while maintaining coherence between excitations using balanced gradients. This results in a signal dependent on T1 and T2 properties. SSFP provides high signal-to-noise ratio and is used for cardiac imaging, flow imaging, T1/T2 mapping, and whole body imaging, but is sensitive to field inhomogeneities. Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) uses knowledge of multiple receiver coils' spatial sensitivities to unfold aliased signals and reduce scan time.

1. Initial preclinical data suggest low risk of transgenic cells at injection site, but longer term risk is unknown. Further studies are needed to define systemic exposure and immune response risks.
2. Effects of overexpressed TGF-β include potential chondrocyte overgrowth if cells seed other joints, so this risk needs clarification. Increased infection risk also requires data from primate trials.
3. Safety of the cell preparation and administration method need validation, as injection directly into defects without guidance may fail to localize cells as intended.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)
