Disease relevance of Pelvic Neoplasms

• Therefore, we investigated the possible effects of sucralfate, an aluminium hydroxide complex of sulfated sucrose used in the treatment of gastric ulcer, in preventing radiation-induced diarrhea and bowel discomfort in patients treated with curative intention for pelvic cancer with external radiotherapy [1].
• An immunohistochemical study of the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and c-erbB-2 protein was performed in fresh-frozen sections from 30 patients with transitional cell cancers (TCCs) of the upper urinary tract (15 renal pelvic cancers, 15 ureteral cancers) who underwent total nephroureterectomy [2].
• MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1992 to January 1999, 19 females and 1 male with a history of pelvic neoplasms, which were responsible for ureteral leaks through the nephrostomy tube in 13 cases or fistulas in 7, were treated with transcatheter ethanol renal ablation [3].
• Phenacetin-based analgesics have been linked to the development of renal pelvis cancer and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) [4].
• CONCLUSIONS: Enoxaparin prophylaxis for four weeks after surgery for abdominal or pelvic cancer is safe and significantly reduces the incidence of venographically demonstrated thrombosis, as compared with enoxaparin prophylaxis for one week [5].

High impact information on Pelvic Neoplasms

• Simultaneous production of parathyroid hormone-related protein and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in renal pelvic cancer [6].
• A limited midline myelotomy at T10 can relieve pelvic cancer pain in patients [7].
• Nonovarian pelvic cancers in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and the BRCAPRO statistical model [8].
• Effects of sucralfate on acute and late bowel discomfort following radiotherapy of pelvic cancer [1].
• Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that a midline lesion of the dorsal columns (DC, limited midline myelotomy) reduces pain of visceral origin in patients with pelvic cancer [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Pelvic Neoplasms

• This study showed that the risk of renal pelvic cancer was increased by phenacetin/aspirin compound analgesics (RR = 12.2; 95% CI 6.8-22.2) to a far greater extent than by paracetamol (RR = 1.3; 95% CI 0.7-2.4; not significant) [10].
• In addition, there is an indication of a weak link between paracetamol and renal pelvic cancer [10].
• We have studied two patients, one with suspected pelvic neoplasm, with technetium-99m sulfur colloid marrow image and transmission computerized tomography [11].
• Hexamethylmelamine tissue concentrations in pelvic cancer patients [12].
• Effect of low molecular weight heparin (Certoparin) versus unfractionated heparin on cancer survival following breast and pelvic cancer surgery: A prospective randomized double-blind trial [13].

Biological context of Pelvic Neoplasms

• Plasma and tissue distribution of adriamycin in patients with pelvic cancer [14].

Gene context of Pelvic Neoplasms

• The proportion of patients with undetectable PSA levels was significantly higher than that of the controls (p < 0.001) but it was not significantly different from those irradiated for other pelvic cancers [15].
• The spinal administration of opioids may provide analgesia of long duration to patients with bilateral or midline lower abdominal or pelvic cancer pain [16].
• Limited midline myelotomy has been used to treat intractable pelvic cancer pain [17].
• Combined neurolytic block of celiac, inferior mesenteric, and superior hypogastric plexuses for incapacitating abdominal and/or pelvic cancer pain [18].
• Indications for total cystectomy were progression in 7, recurrent multiple tumours in 5, persistent CIS in 2, a contracted bladder in 1, and occurrence of bilateral renal pelvic cancer in 1 [19].
