Bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma: preoperative embolization

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR
S Sun, E V Lang

Abstract

To assess the effect of preoperative embolization on blood loss during surgical repair of bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma and provide long-term follow-up. Sixteen patients with bone metastases underwent preoperative embolization. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles were used for 13 patients (three with additional coils), and coils alone were used in three patients. Surgery was performed within 24 hours in four patients, and within 36-120 hours in 12 patients. Bone healing was evaluated radiographically and clinically. Tumor stain was obliterated by more than 70% in 12 patients, 51%-69% in two patients, and less than 50% in two patients. Estimated blood loss (EBL) during surgery ranged from 100 to 1,000 mL (mean, 533 mL). EBL was significantly less when more than 70% of the tumor stain was obliterated (460 mL vs 750 mL; P < .01 ). There were no significant differences in EBL between the patients who underwent surgery within 24 hours (575 mL) and those who underwent surgery more than 36 hours after embolization (402 mL) when PVA was used. Bone healing was achieved in all patients. Survival ranged from 3 to 56 months (median, 12 months). Preoperative embolization reduced intraoperative blood loss without adverse effects on...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
