Primary cutaneous leiomyosarcoma: demographics and survival benefit of surgical management in a US population.

Background: Leiomyosarcoma of the skin is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm categorized as cutaneous or subcutaneous. This study identified demographic and pathological factors affecting the prognosis and treatment of leiomyosarcoma of the skin.

Methods: Data of patients with skin leiomyosarcoma was extracted from 2000 to 2020 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

Evaluating the Effect of Video Source and Other Video Characteristics on the Quality, Reliability, Actionability, and Understandability of Videos on Acromioclavicular Joint Repair.

Purpose:  This study aims to evaluate video quality, reliability, actionability, and understandability differences based on length, popularity, and source credentials (physician versus non-physician). The hypothesis suggests that current videos are of low quality and limited usefulness to patients, highlighting significant disparities based on the credentials of the video source.

Methods:  The phrase "acromioclavicular joint separation" was searched on YouTube.

Rectosigmoid Junction Cancer; The Role of Preoperative and Postoperative Radiation With Novel Nomogram in Predicting Survival in the United States.

Background: There is controversy and limited data the management of rectosigmoid junction cancer (RSJC), especially the role of radiation. We aim to investigate the role of preoperative and postoperative radiation in RSJC and whether this cancer should be treated as a colon cancer or as a rectal cancer.

Methods: The data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and identified from 2000 to 2018.

Prognostic Nomogram, Demographics and Comparative Analysis of Urinary Bladder Small Cell and Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.

Background: This retrospective study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the demographics, survival rates, and therapeutic approaches of small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) while highlighting key differences compared to common urinary bladder cancers.

Methods: Our analysis utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER), and data was collected from 2000-2020.

Results: A total of 1040 cases of urinary bladder SCNEC and LCNEC were identified.

Analysis of the discontinuation and nonpublication of neurooncological randomized clinical trials.

Background: Premature discontinuation and nonpublication of clinical trials contribute to research waste and compromise our ability to improve patient outcomes. However, the extent to which these problems exist in neurooncological randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is not known. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of discontinuation and nonpublication of neurooncological RCTs, identify contributing factors, and assess trial characteristics associated with each.

Prognostic Nomogram Predicting Survival and Propensity Score Matching with Demographics and Comparative Analysis of Prostate Small Cell and Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.

: This retrospective study aims to examine the patient demographics, survival rates, and treatment methods for small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of prostate origin while also identifying the main differences between common types of prostate cancer with comparative analysis for survival. : Our analysis utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER), and data was collected from 2000-2020. Cox proportional hazards and chi-squared analysis were used for statistical analysis.

Predictive Nomogram and Propensity Score Matching in Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Tubular Gastrointestinal Tract: A US Population-Based Clinical Outcome Study.

Neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) of the tubular gastrointestinal tract (GI-NECs) are rare and associated with worse clinical outcomes. This population-based study aims to highlight key demographics, clinicopathological factors, and survival outcomes in the US population. Data from 10,387 patients with GI-NECs were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database from 2000 to 2020.
