Current surgical management of extrapulmonary oligometastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma
Journal Title: Current Thoracic Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the leading cause of mortality around the world, and it is widely known that survival is limited in metastatic lung carcinoma cases. However, in oligometastatic, non-small cell lung carcinoma cases, surgical excision of both the primary tumor and the metastatic site may yield a survival advantage in selected cases. In non-small cell lung carcinoma cases, especially after metastasectomy of brain and adrenal gland metastasis, studies in which survival advantage is reported are common in the literature, and metastasectomy is the treatment method applied to selected patient groups in brain and adrenal gland metastases. In surgical treatment of extra-cranial and extra-adrenal oligometastasis, on the other hand, there are several cases in which morbidity-free survival rates were reported after successful management. In this report, the surgical treatment results were evaluated, and the contribution of treatment methods to survival rates were investigated in extrapulmonary oligometastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma cases receiving surgical excision.

Thoracic splenosis after thoracoabdominal injury sustained 25 years previously
Thoracic splenosis may occur after blunt or penetrating trauma of the thoracoabdominal region. It is diagnosed in 65% of cases of splenic rupture. Trauma-related splenosis is more frequent in the peritoneum, omentum, and...
Can neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio predict the severity of sternum fractures?
Background: Although the NLR and PLR are cheap and widely available biomarkers, literature regarding their usage in trauma patients is scarce. It seemed to us interesting to evaluate the prognostic value of the NLR and P...

Intrathoracic splenosis presents a rare thoracic lesion occurring after splenectomy or abdominal trauma as a consequence of heterotopic autotransplantation and implantation of splenic tissue. We present a 38- yearold man...
