Abstract

Extrarenal, extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are uncommon malignancies with poor prognoses that may be diagnostically challenging. Reports of soft tissue MRTs in children are rare. For this reason, there are no standard treatment protocols. Historically, an aggressive multimodal approach has been taken. Here, we present a case of metastatic superficial pelvic MRT in a 16-year-old girl who remains disease-free after aggressive multi-modal therapy., (Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Abstract

Urachal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare entity with a remarkably poor prognosis. Here we report on a 2-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, fatigue, and urinary frequency. Imaging and subsequent surgical pathology confirmed urachal primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Our patient underwent upfront surgical resection with adjuvant chemoradiation per Children's Oncology Group protocol D9803. He is doing well 15 months after diagnosis., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the quality of web-based information on ablative therapies for prostate cancer., Methods: The 2 most common search engines (Google and Bing) were queried for the following terms: "prostate cancer" + "HIFU" and "cryotherapy," respectively. The top 50 websites for each were obtained. Websites were characterized and analyzed regarding their accuracy and completeness of information using criteria determined a priori. Academic papers were excluded., Results: Of "HIFU" search results, 17% were advertisements, 13% and 29% were academic and private practice websites, respectively. Erroneous information on oncological efficacy was presented in 15% and 41% of academic and private practice websites, respectively. Criteria for treatment were mentioned in 31% and 66% of academic and private practice websites, respectively. Of "cryotherapy" search results, 18% were advertisements, 15% academic sites, and 11% private practices. Erroneous information was presented in 73% of both academic and private practice websites. Criteria for treatment were mentioned in 27% and 18% of these sites, respectively. Seventy eight percent and 75% of HIFU and cryotherapy sites, respectively, mentioned general side effects., Conclusion: There is substantial inaccurate and incomplete information on the Internet regarding ablative treatments for prostate cancer from academic and private practice websites. Selection criteria are uncommonly discussed. More attention to accuracy of information is needed to ensure patients are not misled about the data behind these treatments., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
