Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive tumor that accounts for 0.2% of cancer-related deaths. Case series and prospective studies are very limited due to its low prevalence. Current knowledge is based primarily on the opinions of experts in specialized units. The aim of this study is to perform a descriptive analysis of the management and prognosis of patients with ACC in HCSC in the last 20 years.Material and methods: Eigh...

IntroductionResponse to Therapy, according to ATA’s dynamic classification, provides a description of the clinical situation in patients with thyroid cancer (TC) a year or more after treatment. It gives us more accurate information than the obtained at diagnosis by static staging systems as AJCC and ATA risk system.ObjetivesTo analyse the association between some factors collected at diagnosis and the ty...

Introduction: Admission hyponatremia, frequently detected in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, has been associated with increased mortality. However, although SIADH-induced euvolemic hyponatremia is the single most-common cause of hyponatremia in community-acquired pneumonia, repercussions of admission-hyponatremia volemic classification on COVID-19 hospitalizations have yet to be described. We sought to identify factors contributing to mortality and hospital length-of-stay ...

However, fluid restriction, considered the first step in therapy of mild/moderate SIADH hyponatremia, h...

IntroductionThe number of lymph node metastasis (NM) and the existence of extranodal extensión (ExEx) are not included among prognosis variables used in the most common staging systems for differentiated thyroid cancer as AJCC and ATA risk systems.ObjectiveIn patients with NM at diagnosis, to analyze the association between the number of NM and the presence of ExEx with response to therapy.<p class="...
