The purpose of this study was to determine prognostic factors influencing outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with T4a hypopharyngeal cancer.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic significance of psychological distress in gastric cancer patients. Psychological distress is common in patients with all stages of gastric cancer and is associated with worse
outcomes.

Patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients demonstrate varied survival outcomes. Previous studies have reported that lipoproteins are associated with prognosis in various cancers; however, the role of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and low-density lipoprotein- cholesterol (LDLR) in patients[r]

Quality of life has an important place in the future of patients with breast cancer. The objective of this study is to assess the evolution of the patient’s quality of life with breast cancer in Morocco after a year of follow-up.

Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom for patients with incurable cancer receiving systemic treatment with palliative intent. There is evidence that non-pharmacological interventions such as graded exercise therapy (GET) or cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) reduce cancer-related fatigue in di[r]

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is extensively used in the treatment of patients with gastric cancer (GC), particularly in high risk, advanced gastric cancer. Previous trials testing the efficacy of NAC have reported inconsistent results.

Patients with cancer have an increased risk of malnutrition which is associated with poor outcome. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA®) is often used in older patients with cancer but its relation to outcome is not known.

BACKGROUND
Bronchoscopy with 2 sources of light (white and fluorescence) is an advance in diagnosis of lung cancer. The results of many previous studies have shown that the effectiveness of fluorescent light is better than white one. Especially, the efficiency of bronchoscopy in detection of lung c[r]

The association between perioperative blood transfusion and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer is still unclear. Perioperative blood transfusion independently correlated with poorer prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.
