Introduction. Breast cancer is the second most prevalent reason for cancer deaths after lung cancer. Incidence rates have increased worldwide. Aim. To present epidemiology of breast cancer in Podkapackie voivodship. Material and methods. This analysis was performed using a systematic literature search. Results. In the Podkarpackie voivodship up until 2014, the incidence rate of female breast cancer was rising and in 2015 it dropped by 68 cases. Even though the survival rate is increasing, it is still one of the leading causes of cancer deaths placing second after lung cancer. Conclusion. Mortality rate, unfortunately, rose gradually. This shows that even though there is a National Health Program aiming at breast cancer awareness and prevention, it is still not enough to reduce the number of breast cancer deaths.
Imaging methods of early detection and screening for breast cancer. A review
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Gustalik, Joanna; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Aebisher, David; Kaznowska, Ewa
Introduction. Breast cancer is the most frequent neoplasm among women. That is the reason why scientists all over the world are attempting to improve early detection methods of this particular malignancy. Aim. The most common and most widely used examination methods for screening for and detecting breast cancer is presented herein. Material and methods. This review was performed according to systematic literature search of three major bibliographic databases. Results. Available data suggest that incidence and mortality in high-resource countries has been declining whereas incidence and mortality in low-resource countries has been increasing. Conclusion. The role of a physician is to select the most suitable one for each patient in order to obtain the best result. No matter the method however, between 2005 and 2011, the 5-year relative survival was found to be 89%. This is thought to be due to both the increase in utilization of population-wide screening, as well as advances in treatment.
Imaging studies of kidney cancer
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Przyczyna, Piotr; Aebisher, David; Gustalik, Joanna; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Kaznowska, Ewa
Introduction. In 2017 in the USA about 5% in men and 3% in women newly diagnosed cases of malignant tumors were kidney and renal pelvis cancer. Aim. Kidney cancer in adults includes malignant tumors derived from kidney parenchyma and renal pelvis. The dominating types are kidney parenchyma, and mainly renal cell carcinomas Material and methods. This review was performed according to systematic literature search of three major bibliographic databases (Scopus, PubMed, and Cochran). Results. Imaging studies play a very important role in kidney cancer. They allow one to assess the clinical stage, justify the extent of surgery and have an impact on the prognosis. Conclusion. The field for research involves the use of magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography in diagnosing kidney changes.
Mixed adenocarcinoma-neuroendocrine cancer – a case report
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Gustalik, Joanna; Aebisher, David; Kaznowska, Ewa; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Mixed adenocarcinoma-neuroendocrine cancer (MANEC) is a rare cancer that is characterized by aggressive course and poor prognosis. Aim. A case report and literature review. Description of the case. This article presents the case of a 63-year-old patient who was hospitalized due to the occurrence of neurological symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and headache as well as double vision and numbness of the hands. Suspected ischemic stroke, meningitis with bacterial etiology or brainstem pathology. Conclusion. MANEC composed of large neuroendocrine cells have better survival and clinical behavior than patients with small, intermediate or mixed large and intermediate cells.
The advancement of imaging in diagnosis of prostate cancer
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Osuchowski, Michał; Aebisher, David; Gustalik, Joanna; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Kaznowska, Ewa
Introduction. Multiple imaging methods have been used to stage prostate carcinoma. Some of them are easily accessible, others very accurate. The advancements over many years have been taken under consideration and now every imaging method has a specific role in the diagnosis of this malignancy. Aim. There are over 1,100,000 cases of prostate carcinoma diagnosed every year around the world. Imaging examinations have to be introduced to accurately stage, and therefore properly treat this disease. This review concentrates on advantages and disadvantages of different imaging methods. Material and methods. The literature search was performed. Results. Imaging methods serve specific goals. TRUS is recommended for acquiring biopsy specimen due to high accessibility and low cost of the examination. Conclusion. The best tool for staging prostate carcinoma and finding suspicious lesions when attempting second biopsy is mpMRI or bpMRI.
The use of imaging tests to obtain optimal margins in breast surgery
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Ostańska, Elżbieta; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Gustalik, Joanna; Aebisher, David; Galiniak, Sabina; Kaznowska, Ewa
Introduction. The proper negative margins (R0) breadth in the breast - conserving surgery for invasive breast cancer (IBC) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is very important. The presence positive surgical margins (R1) is associated with the necessity of reoperation. It delays the adjuvant therapy and psychologically burdens the patient. The re-operation increases the costs of treatment. The introduction of mammography (MMG) increased detection of DCIS by 20%. With the increase in malignancy, cancer detection decreases in MMG, inversely in MRI groving. Effective preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis aims to reduce the number of R1 resections. Aim. The size of the tumor next to its biology, determines the clinical course of the tumor. The accurate analysis of imaging tests is important. Material and methods. This analysis was performed using a systematic literature search. Results. Adequate surgical margins in breast cancer surgery for breast cancer have been reviewed. It is important to know if the cancer is multifocal and what the extent of the tumor is. Conclusion. The adequacy of margins is important for adjusting the volume of excision. It is avoiding unnecessary resection of healthy breast tissue. It is essential for a good cosmetic result and the local recurrence rate. The combination of breast MRI with conventional breast imaging resulted in the lover rate of the R1 resectios and the lower rate of the re-operation.
