Abstract: we report a case of 63 years-old man affected by myasthenia gravis associated to two nodular lesions of thymic tissue and, after complete thymothymomectomy, pathologic findings revealed a B3 thymoma and a clear cell carcinoma. Post-operative period was uneventful. The patient had no recurrence or metastasis after the first year of follow-up.

The client’s main diagnosis is Pancreatic Cancer in May of 2012. He has an inoperable

Melanoma is a serious, and at times fatal, type of skin cancer that results from unrepaired and damaged DNA to the skin from intense exposure to ultraviolet rays. Subsequently, this damage to the DNA leads to mutations that result in unmonitored and unrestricted cell growth that creates malignant tumors. These tumors then transform normal and healthy melanocyte skin cells to melanoma cell and produce. While melanoma cells might appear benign at the early stages, as it eventually spreads throughout an individual’s body and onto lymph nodes it becomes invasive and fatal. Thus, to be able to catch melanoma at its early stages is a necessity to prevent invasive spreading throughout the body, allowing the patient to be treated quickly.

A 68-year-old man complained of a laryngeal invasion due to a neck mass and underwent a wide excision of the thyroid bed and a complete laryngectomy. The patient was initially diagnosed with a sarcomatoid carcinoma of the neck, which showed a rather unusual histological profile. The tumor showed epithelioid-tubular structures containing mucin pools, with a fibrous or sarcomatous background, which is not consistent with the typical morphological features of ATC (Fig. 1A and 1B). The patient was treated with adjuvant radiotherapy (42 Gy) and chemotherapy, with the regimens adjusted for sarcomatoid carcinoma of the larynx (2 cycles of etoposide, ifosfamide and cisplatin, and 2 cycles of ifosfamide and adriamycin). However, the size of

REPORTER: The reporter/ friend (Franziska) called with concerns for the vicitm, James. James has Terminal Cancer and he’s being treated by Hospice. Ther reporter said he can barely speak and has lost weight. The reporter was told that the victim’s sons girlfriend (unknown) stold his medicine (within the last couple of days). The reporter said James needs his medicine and he needs money. The reporter said James lives in a two story house and owns a red car. The rpeorter said Donna Diddle is his girlfriend, and he does not believe she is capable of caring for the vicitm. The reporter said Donna is manipulative and unstable, and she may get “freak out” if someone comes out to the home. The reporter would like for someone to check on the vicitm

The patient is a 59-year-old female who was recently in a nursing home after having completed some IV antibiotic therapy at St. Joe's. The family took her out on a leave from the nursing home to celebrate her birthday and she refused to return. She was brought to the ED and after spending over 24 hours in observation window until a reasonable plan could be devised for her continuing care. She was admitted inpatient. The patient is known to have a rectosigmoid carcinoma. She has been quite noncompliant with her therapy. She had exploratory lap, sigmoid resection and colostomy. She was unresectable diagnosis. She has had neoadjuvant chemotherapy, she is noncompliant with that and she has had progression of disease to her liver and lung.

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops in the skin’s pigment cells, also referred to as melanocytes. These melanocytes create melanin, which helps protect our skin form UV (ultraviolet) rays that come from the sun. A mole may form when these melanocyte cells cluster together, usually occurring at a young age. Sometimes, the melanocytes in the moles may start to grow and disperse in an uncontrollable way and grow outwards or downwards into the lower layers of the skin. This uncontrollable division can result in melanoma.

may also be used to determine if the melanoma has spread to surrounding lymph nodes.

Currently, The American Cancer Society is facing a problem with transportation that they hope to soon find a solution for nationwide. The number of people that are affected by cancer each year is growing, thus the need for transportation to and from treatment centers continues to grow as well. The Road to Recovery program is a wonderful tool that The American Cancer Society has implemented, but unfortunately it is not able to meet the ever growing demand for transportation. Due to the fact that this service is provided by volunteers, using their time, gas, and vehicles, it is not easy to secure the number of volunteers necessary to meet all of the transportation needs. This problem often leads to family members missing a substantial amount of work and putting their livelihoods in danger, patients rescheduling treatments, or even worse, missing necessary treatments. Within the local offices there is also a need for a volunteer coordinator due to the time and effort it takes to interview potential drivers, conduct background checks, secure additional insurance, and schedule the drivers with the patients. The volunteer coordinator position is completed voluntarily and is often another area of need for The American Cancer Society.

Central to the diagnoses of skin cancer is a full history and careful examination. Lesions that carry features suggesting malignant melanoma should be removed promptly. The deeper the lesion, the higher the risk for local and distant spread. Superficial spreading and nodular melanoma is the most common form of melanoma to the Caucasian population. It appears as a flat brown or black (dark) patch with a border that is irregular. Nodular formation signposts a vertical invasion and it is associated with a worse prognosis. It’s typical for nodular melanomas to bleed or ulcerate. Lentigo malignant is a premalignant lesion that is most common among older individuals and usually forms in the face. It looks like an irregular, flat brown lesion with

As I was about to round off my shift 7am to 3:15pm, on 7/31/2015, I received a call from the admission office that I should prepare for a 75year old end stage cancer patient As I was preparing for the admission the patient was brought in on a stretcher with her family. The patient was admitted for back pain and loss of weight. It was diagnosed that “Miriam” had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given three months to live. She has two siblings who live far apart, one in New York and the other in Georgia. She used to live with her daughter in Georgia until she began complaining of back pain and losing weight. Upon admission to the facility her daughter was convinced that Miriam had less than ninety days to live.

Patient was seen in-house found to have a personal history of lymphoma. The patient had a prior PET scan, which showed activity within the left axilla. The operative indications regarding this were discussed with the patient and an informed consent was signed and placed in the chart. An operative date was set at 11/02/2017 by Dr. Shane Hodge being the surgeon attending,

Being given a chance to care for the patient who is on palliative treatment is very meaningful to me. I am so glad to have this experience on my fresh start at clinical placement. It is my first time to encounter and to care for someone who has serious illnesses. Even though, I am not related to this patient my heart is breaking to see him suffering from pain and gasping for his breath. The client is a very nice guy. Despite the pain he is feeling, he managed to smile when I was talking to him. I can see him fighting for his life. The nurses and other people within the health care team are giving their care, comfort and support to the patient and family. The family and friends of the patient also visit him in the facility. There were times that patient decided to not go with his appointment such as the mental aerobics because he was feeling really tired and weak. The patient gets tired very easily with movement such as turning position and lately he preferred to stay in bed to lay down. He also has difficulty swallowing and cough is always present with his eating. The patient loss weight and his appetite was reduced. He is going through a lot of difficulty and pain. Whenever I see him, I always remember my grandfather who passed away at a very young age and had to go through a tough time. I am doing my best to give him comfort at this moment. I also encouraged him to eat to gain the energy he needs.
