This study compares logit and probit regression models to analyze the likelihood of lung cancer occurrence based on patient data and lifestyle factors. The results reveal significant associations between lung cancer and patients’ age, gender, smoking status, yellow finger, anxiety, chronic disease, fatigue, allergy, wheezing, alcohol consumption, coughing, shortness of breath, swallowing difficulty, and chest pain. The result shows that the probit model better predicts lung cancer based on the f...

We report the case of a mucinous colloid carcinoma of the breast. We managed a 63-year-old woman with a right retroareolar lesion, clinically classified as cT2 N0 M0 and radiologically suspicious. Histological analysis (biopsy) concluded it was a grade I mucinous colloid carcinoma of the breast according to the Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) grading system. Additional treatments included partial mastectomy, lymph node dissection, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. Colloid carcinoma is rare, accou...

Background: The primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) belongs to the family of malignant small round cell tumors with neuroepithelial differentiation. Isolated cases of PNET have been reported in visceral sites, such as the kidneys, uterus, ovaries, testicles, bladder, and pancreas. The occurrence of these tumors in the head and neck region is very rare. Purpose: We report the case of a 37-year-old patient with a PNET of the amygdala and a favorable outcome aft...

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a group of rare diseases resulting in most cases from a dysfunction of nucleotide excision repair (NER). It is characterized by extreme hypersensitivity to ultraviolet rays and predisposes to malignant skin tumors that can appear as early as childhood. XP is rarely associated with internal neoplasms such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Case Report: A 5-year-old Moroccan Girl, a xeroderma pigmentosum patient, was diagnos...

Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.
Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics of 27 second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma patients with a history of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer were retrospectively analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model, including gender...

This study elaborates on the application and unique contributions of zinc sulfide quantum dots (ZnS QDs) in tumor imaging, highlighting their sig-nificant potential in the field of nanomedicine, particularly in tumor imag-ing techniques. Zinc sulfide quantum dots are distinguished by their supe-rior optical properties, chemical stability, and excellent biocompatibility. Our research focuses on the customization of ZnS QDs through integration with biocompatible compounds, and the use of covalent ...

Ischio rectal chordoma is a rare bone tumor. The optimal therapeutic strategy for ischio rectal chordoma remains surgery. This case describes a 32-year-old adult with ischio rectal chordoma. Given the potential impact on quality of life and the technical platform available, the patient did not undergo tumor resection. The patient was treated with exclusive radiotherapy. The patient developed pulmonary metastases three months after the end of radiotherapy. This case highlights a minimally invasiv...

Pancreatic cancer is on the rise, ranking 13th among cancer sites in the world and 5th among digestive cancers. Real-life national data on patients with localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma are lacking in the medical literature given their number, which is often not representative because most diagnoses are made at the metastatic stage. The main objective of this study, which is part of the activity report of the Medical Oncology Department of the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez, is to repor...

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) pose a challenge in treatment due to their rarity and complex nature. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the epidemiological, clinicopathological characteristics, and survival outcomes of RPS patients treated over an 11-year period. Seventeen patients diagnosed with RPS were included, with leiomyosarcoma being the most prevalent subtype. Surgical excision was the primary treatment modality, often complemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The 5-year and ...

Uncontrolled cell development is a hallmark of cancer, a leading cause of death globally. Optimal cancer treatment necessitates the use of multiple methods, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. High-energy radiation in radiotherapy eliminates cancer cells by causing irreparable damage to their DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The radiation dose is delivered via a teletherapy unit. Dosimetric quality assurance tests are conducted to ensure accurate and safe radiation delivery. Gu...
