Its role in the laparoscopic and robotic surgery era requires further evaluation in low-income countries. This study evaluated the renal function and oncological outcomes of open NSS surgery for renal tumors to provide insight into the future role of open NSS alongside laparoscopic and robotic surgery.</p><p><strong>Patients and methods: </strong>A cohort of 52 patients who underwent NSS for RCC were included in this study. Clinical data were recorded using a predesigned questionnaire covering epidemiology, patient presentation, comorbidities, laboratory investigation, imaging studies, TNM classification, CTU findings, selection criteria, intra- and postoperative complications, hospital stay, and follow-up outcome data. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, and dependent and independent variables were considered statistically significant at a P-value level <0.05.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 52 patients, 44.2% were male, and 55.8% were female, with an average age of 57.5 ± 14.8. Incidental renal masses were observed in 36.5% of patients, while flank pain was observed in 55.8% of patients. The average size was 5.9 ± 1.7 cm. A transcostal extraperitoneal approach was used, with a mean operative time of 87.6 ± 16.2 minutes. The main artery was clamped in 92.3% of the patients, and selective apical artery ligation was performed in one patient under specific conditions. There were no instances of bleeding during or after the surgery, and the typical period of ischemia during tumor removal lasted approximately 12.5 ± 4.8 minutes. Histological results showed malignant tumors in 86.5% of the cases and benign lesions in 13.5%. Positive surgical margins were observed in one patient with a small entophytic upper pole mass of 3.7 cm. The average hospital stay was five days ± 1.6; however, 49 (94.2%) patients had their drain removed in less than three days. Only three (5.8%) patients developed a urinary fistula and responded well to conservative treatment. Of the 52 patients, 21 (40.4%) were monitored for > 5 years, while 31 (59.6%) were observed for less than 5 years. Follow-up CTU analysis showed no evidence of recurrence or metastases, and serum creatinine levels at three months and one year were 1.4 (SD 0.6) and 1.2 (SD 0.7), respectively. The correlation between ischemia time and tumor size was statistically significant (P = 0.034). Moreover, histological type was also significantly correlated with tumor size, with a P-value of 0.000.</p><p><strong>Discussion and conclusion: </strong>The study concluded that open NSS is a secure procedure that maintains renal function without compromising oncological outcomes. A warm ischemia time of 20 min did not compromise oncological outcomes or renal function. Tumor sizes of 7 cm or more can be safely managed.

In this study, we have studied various indices like pre-treatment serum albumin, hemoglobin, Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Platelet to Albumin Ratio (PAR), Systemic Immune Index (SII) as independent prognostic factors in esophageal cancer, with respect to the outcomes and tumor response. Material & Methods: A total of 83 patients of esophageal cancer who were treated with Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation from 2016-2021 were evaluated in this study. All the patients were treated with 41.4 Gy / 23 # External Beam Radiation Therapy with concurrent weekly Paclitaxel & Carboplatin (CROSS Protocol). Baseline hematological parameters like PLR, NLR, PAR, SII, Serum Albumin and Hemoglobin were obtained from laboratory records. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log rank test. Chi square test was used to analyze the association with pathological complete response after NCRT. Results: The median follow-up time of the study was 42.50 months, and the median age of patients was 55 years (IQR - 45-63). The majority of the patients were squamous cell carcinoma (92.8%), and 7.2% of the patients were adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Amongst this study group, 41 patients (49.4%) underwent surgery following chemoradiation, the rest of the patients couldn't undergo surgery. Amongst the 41 operated patients, 21 (51.2%) had pathological complete response, 13 (31.7%) had partial response, 7 (17.1%) had poor/no response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation. The median OS of a group of patients who underwent surgery (44.7 Months) was found to be significantly higher (p<0.001) than that of patients who were not operated (17.8 Months). Kaplan Meir analysis and log-rank test revealed that high pretreatment albumin and hemoglobin had statistically significant association with better OS. High PLR, low NLR, low PAR and high SII had a correlation trend with better OS. However, statistical significance couldn't be demonstrated owing to our smaller sample size. Patients with high PLR (> 180) were found to have a higher rate of pathologic complete response compared to the patients with low PLR (< 180). Conclusion: NCRT when offered to a selected subgroup of patients having operable carcinoma esophagus can give excellent survival outcomes. Patient selection should incorporate factors that look into the biology, systemic inflammatory response and baseline status of these patients. The evaluation of these factors on a larger scale prospective multicentric trials is warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":53633,"journal":{"name":"The gulf journal of oncology","volume":"1 46","pages":"24-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144058088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Survivors face complex challenges, and the interplay of these factors affects their recovery. Social support, encompassing emotional, informational, and practical assistance, is pivotal, offering belonging and resilience. Coping strategies, whether adaptive (like problemsolving) or maladaptive (like denial), significantly impact psychological outcomes. Spirituality, irrespective of ties to organized religion, significantly impacts the psychological well-being of breast cancer survivors. It provides a framework for understanding and coping, offering hope and meaning. Psychological status encompasses emotional well-being, mental health, and quality of life, influenced by cancer severity, personality traits, social support, coping strategies, and fear of recurrence. Methodology for literature review: The literature review employed a systematic approach, utilizing various databases and search terms to identify recent research on the relationship between social support, coping strategies, spirituality, and psychological status among breast cancer survivors. Inclusion criteria focused on relevance and rigor, with a thematic emphasis on the interplay between these factors. Both qualitative and quantitative studies from peer-reviewed journals were considered within a specific time frame (2010-2023) to capture recent advancements. The screening process involved two independent reviewers, with disagreements resolved through discussion.
