Upper tract urothelial carcinoma: epidemiology, high risk populations, and detection.
Authors: Redrow GP, Matin SF Abstract Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare but highly morbid genitourinary malignancy. In 2014 approximately 15000 new cases were diagnosed in the United States. It accounts for approximately 5-10% of all urothelial cell carcinomas, and 10% of renal tumors. Recent research has increased understanding of the epidemiology of this disease, including several high-risk populations. Environmental exposure to tobacco as well as aristolochic acid, and other carcinogens significantly increase the development of UTUC. Additionally, the genetic condition of hereditary nonpolyposis ...

Project for the National Program of Early Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer Part II.
Discussion: Improving medical practice based on diagnostic algorithms and programs improves and increases the lifetime expectancy, due to the fact that endometrial cancer is early diagnosed and treated before it causes serious health problems or even death. Abbreviations: ASCCP = American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, CT = Computerized Tomography, HNPCC = Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (Lynch syndrome), IHC = Immunohistochemistry, MSI = Microsatellites instability, MSI-H/ MSI-L = high (positive test)/ low (negative test) microsatellites instability, PCR = Polymerase chain reaction, MRI = Magneti...

Project for the National Program of Early Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer Part I.
DISCUSSION: Improving medical practice based on diagnostic algorithms addresses the four risk groups, by improving information system reporting and record keeping. Improving addressability cases by increasing the health education of the population will increase the rate of diagnosis of endometrial cancer in the early stages of the disease. ABBREVIATIONS: ACOG = American Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, ASCCP = American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, PATT = Partial Activated Thromboplastin Time, BRCA = Breast Cancer Gene, CT = Computerized Tomography, IFGO = International Federation of Gynecol...

Familial Pancreatic Cancer: Challenging Diagnostic Approach and Therapeutic Management
Conclusions However, the optimal age of initial screening remains undefined. Furthermore, a multidisciplinary assessment is required to determine whether surgical interventions should be performed at high-volume specialty centers. The aim of this study is to collect all the recent information considering the genetic basis, screening protocols, and treatment of FPC in order to provide an update on the current contemporary concepts of therapeutic management of the disease.
