o SPOKE + PST. However, thanks to this model, an improvable centralization process in SIAT Romagna was found in the study period. Probably, an enhanced centralization would have improved the spleen salvage rate, which is an important quality indicator in the evaluation of the performance of the TS.
Present analysis proved the validity of TMPM-ICD-9 in predicting mortality of trauma patients in an Italian region. Furthermore, the usefulness of data extracted from an administrative database to assess the performance of a TS and the importance of an adequate centralization process have emerged. Even with a higher TMPM-POD and with the same mortality rate, HUB showed a higher spleen salvage rate compared to SPOKE + PST. However, thanks to this model, an improvable centralization process in SIAT Romagna was found in the study period.

Gastric cancer is a frequent cancer in the tropics. The objective was to review a decade of gastric cancer data, and to study its spatial and temporal trends.

The cancer registry of French Guiana compiled exhaustive data on gastric cancer throughout French Guiana between 2005 and 2014. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were computed.

With 187 new cases recorded, gastric cancer ranked 6th (4.3%). It was more frequent in men than in women. The median age at diagnosis was 62 years for men and 65 years for women. The incidence rate standardized to the world population over the period 2005-2014 was 14.3 cases of gastric cancer per 100,000 man-years and 7.3 per 100,000 woman-years. The death rate from gastric cancer, standardized to the world population over the period 2005-2014, was 8.6 deaths from gastric cancer per 100,000 man-years and 3.4 per 100,000 women-years. These measures were lower than what is reported in Latin America, similar to Martinique and Guadeloupe-two tropical French territoverage throughout the territory despite challenging geography, and better access to care and Helicobacter pylori eradication.
Cavernous hemangiomas are congenital hamartomatous lesions that originate from mesodermal tissue composed of dilated blood vessels. Abdominal pain and palpable mass are the most common presenting symptoms. The different types of treatment for symptomatic patients remain controversial. However, surgical resection is always the most preferred method when possible. To date, there are no reports of endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS-guided) absolute ethanol injection as a treatment for such disease when surgery is not an option.

A 19-year-old girl with giant cavernous intra-abdominal hemangioma extending to the hepatic hilum, also affecting the gastric wall and occupying the entire supra-mesocolic cavity, initially presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and loss of 20 kg in 1 year (BMI = 18 kg/m
). Percutaneous angiography identified a mass with arterial blood supply by the left gastric artery that was embolized. After re-bleeding, an alternative treatment with EUS-guided injection of alcohol was propooutcomes without major complications and can be repeated if necessary.
Transgastric EUS-guided ethanol injection in the treatment of giant intra-abdominal cavernous hemangioma can provide good outcomes without major complications and can be repeated if necessary.
One of the most important serious malignancies is gastric cancer (GC) with a high mortality globally. In this way, beside the environmental factors, genetic parameter has a remarkable effective fluctuation in GC. Correspondingly, telomeres are nucleoprotein structures measuring the length of telomeres and they have special potential in diagnosis of various types of cancers. Defect protection of the telomeric length initiates the instability of the genome during cancer, including gastric cancer. The most common way of maintaining telomere length is the function of the telomerase enzyme that replicates the TTAGGG to the end of the 3' chromosome.

In this review, we want to discuss the alterations of hTERT repression on the modification of TERRA gene expression in conjunction with the importanceof telomere and telomerase in GC.

The telomerase enzyme contains two essential components called telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and RNA telomerase (hTR, hTERC).Deregulation of hTERT plays a key role in the multistage process of tumorigenicity and anticancer drug resistance. The direct relationship betweentelomerase activity and hTERT has led to hTERT to be considered a key target for cancer treatment. Recent results show that telomeres are transcribed intotelomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) in mammalian cells and are long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) identified in different tissues. In addition, mostchemotherapy methods have a lot of side effects on normal cells.

Telomere and telomerase are useful therapeutic goal. According to the main roles of hTERT in tumorigenesis, growth, migration, and cancer invasion,hTERT and regulatory mechanisms that control the expression of hTERT are attractive therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

Regorafenib has been approved among the treatment options for patients with advanced stage colorectal cancer (CRC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In this study, we aim to report the real-life experience of the safety and tolerability regorafenib in our institution.

We conducted a retrospective chart review of 43 patients who received regorafenib in Kuwait Cancer Control Center (KCCC) from 2016 to the end of 2019. Data collected include diagnosis, patient demographics, performance status, number of previous lines of treatment, number of treatment cycles, side effects, best-tolerated dose, and treatment discontinuation due to intolerability. Univariate analysis with Pearson chi-square test were conducted to study co-relation between discontinuation rates and several factors.

We had available data for 43 patients (23 males and 20 females). Of the patients, 83.7% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Seventy-three percent were diagnosed with metastatic CRC, adherence to regorafenib.
In our cohort, the best-tolerated dose of regorafenib was 80 mg. Toxicity and intolerability of regorafenib lead to treatment discontinuation in nearly a quarter of patients. Patient age may influence tolerance and adherence to regorafenib.This work discussed the efficiency of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) as a diagnostic modality for early detection of pancreatic cancer. The present study was constructed by doing imaging modalities EUS on 24 patients admitted to surgery department in the faculty of medicine with suspected pancreatic malignancy. Pancreatic cancer was found more in older ages above 55 years predominately in males coming from rural areas presenting with abdominal pain with or without jaundice. Histopathological examination revealed that ductal adenocarcinoma represented by 70.83% of cases. This study also shows significant elevation in serum CA19-9 in the presenting cases to confirm a close relation between cancer pancreas and CA19-9 as a good biochemical marker for PC. EUS was found to be able to detect masses less than 20 mm in diameter. Moreover, EUS can accurately detect the mass nature. EUS showed correct information as regards lymph node involvement and vascular invasion which affected the results of respectability of pancreatic masses. Finally, this study clearly showed that EUS is an accurate pre-operative tool in the assessment of nodal staging, vascular invasion, and respectability in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Determining molecular and histopathologic tumor features, which may contribute to the development or progression of gastric cancer, can improve the prognosis. Expression patterns of DNA repair proteins such as MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 that are associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) are some of the markers that are useful in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer.

The purpose was to determine the immunohistochemical expression pattern of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens of Iranian gastric carcinoma patients.

In this prospective cohort, 186 consecutive patients with gastric cancer, attending Taleghani Hospital, were enrolled. The immunohistochemical expression patterns of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens among them were determined.

The results of this study demonstrated that 91.4% of our gastric cancer patients were negative for MSI, and 8.6% of them were MSI positive. The positive MSI was seen in 5.9% and 15.7% of male and female subjects, respectively, with a significant difference (P = 0.043). The other variables were not related to MSI results (P > 0.05).

According to the obtained results, the expression of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 in tumor specimens is positive in 8.6% of the total Iranian gastric cancer sample size, which is mainly positive in female subjects. However, it is not related to the location and stage of the tumor.

The objectives of this study were to assess barriers and facilitators to cervical cancer screening in western Kenya from the perspectives of community members and healthcare providers. We conducted two focus groups with female community members (n = 24) and one with providers (n = 12) in Migori County, Kenya. Discussion guides queried about knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer prevention; structural, social, and personal barriers; and facilitators towards cervical cancer screening uptake. Group discussions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for emerging themes. Participants in both groups reported low awareness of HPV and cervical cancer screening in the community, and identified that as a main barrier to screening. Community members reported fear of pain and embarrassment as significant barriers to a screening pelvic exam. They also reported that providers' lack of kroach to identify facilitators and barriers to cervical cancer screening based on focus groups and interviews with community members and healthcare providers.Baseline population opinions on human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccination must be understood before physicians can address knowledge gaps in that population and encourage timely vaccination. To determine the opinions of parents of children age 9 to 18 on HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers (OPC); the associations with education level, socioeconomic status, and having a family member/friend with OPC; and the main concerns against having a vaccination., An anonymous survey was created and administered. Parents were asked to complete the survey if they met the inclusion criteria. After the survey, results were tabulated, and the answers for each question were analyzed. The target population was surveyed in the clinic. The target population was parents with children between 9 and 18 years old the background knowledge and awareness of HPV-related OPC and associations with education level, socioeconomic status, having a family member/friend with OPC, and concerns about vaccination. Our study results showed that the age of parents, education level, marital status, personal vaccination status, and gender of the child are significant factors for background knowledge about HPV-related diseases.
