(jogcr.com)
  • Necessary changes were applied.Results: The original Cancer Survivors Assessment Questionnaire NCCN2.2020 (National comprehensive cancer network) was condensed from 27 to 24 questions during the customization process. (jogcr.com)

  • He has expertise in delivering regional cancer therapies such as heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). (stanford.edu)
  • According to Sanjay S. Reddy, MD, a surgical oncologist at Fox Chase Cancer Center, it began back in the 1970s with the use of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for the treatment of ovarian cancer. (oncnursingnews.com)
Surgical Oncology1
  • He completed general surgery residency training at Lenox Hill Hospital and fellowship training in surgical oncology at the City of Hope National Cancer Center. (stanford.edu)
Organs1
Drainage2
  • Imperforate hymen prevents menstrual blood drainage, which causes cyclic lower abdominal pain and amenorrhea. (endometriosi.it)
  • Nonoperative interventions include percutaneous abscess drainage, as well as percutaneous and endoscopic stent placements. (medscape.com)
Abstract1
Disease3
  • The average estimated duration of disease symptoms (months) was 40.58±42.33. (jogcr.com)
  • The type and extent of surgery depends on the underlying disease process and the severity of intra-abdominal infection. (medscape.com)
  • According to Bassel El-Rayes, MD, director, Gastrointestinal Oncology Translational Research Program, Winship Cancer Institute, three key factors must be considered when making the determination: origin of the tumor, extent of disease, and tumor histology. (oncnursingnews.com)
Endometriosis2
  • Both an intra-articular manifestation of endometriosis and menstrual arthritis are very rare diagnoses. (endometriosi.it)
  • Differential diagnostic one should think of intra-articular manifestation of endometriosis and menstrual arthritis. (endometriosi.it)
Peritoneum2
  • Intra-abdominal sepsis is an inflammation of the peritoneum caused by pathogenic microorganisms and their products. (medscape.com)
  • Infections of the peritoneum are further divided into generalized (peritonitis) and localized (intra-abdominal abscess). (medscape.com)
HIPEC1
  • The organization strives to foster research collaboration between medical and surgical oncologists at cancer centers that provide HIPEC, and it published its first recommendations in 2014, focusing on the delivery of HIPEC to patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. (oncnursingnews.com)
Recurrent3
  • In a 16-year-old female virgin presented with recurrent lower abdominal pain, urine retention, and secondary amenorrhea after 3 hymenectomy surgeries. (endometriosi.it)

Cells2
  • Mucinous cells cause gelatinous ascites and intraabdominal adhesions. (amboss.com)
  • The heat is thought to help the chemotherapeutic agent kill any residual cancer cells, and flooding the abdomen with the agent is thought to expose cancer cells to higher concentrations of the selected drug than can be achieved with systemic chemotherapy. (oncnursingnews.com)
