Research paper thumbnail of Schwannoma of the rectosigmoid colon

Most of the cases have been asymptomatic but occasionally present as an obstructive mass. Abdominal investigations are effective in some cases, but usually, they are not informative. A significant number of cases have been detected after their operation by histopathology examination. Immune and histochemical staining shows the spindle cells that have been positive for S-100 and vimentin, but negative for CD34 and smooth muscle actin. If the diagnosis of Schowannoma is confirmed preoperatively, segmental resection is recommended. In this case report, we presented a 58-year-old woman with pelvic mass and normal colonoscopy that mimic extramural large uterine myoma with extraluminal pressure effect on the rectosigmoid.

To treat patients with unresectable gastric cancer by neoadjuvant chemotherapy we can downstage and resect the tumors. The end-points are the evaluation of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on R0 resection rate of the tumors and 3-year survival rate of patients. Method: All published trials of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer were searched. Only Ovid database and only English written language articles from 2008 to 2011 were included in our search strategy. Results: In our study 5 trials were included. A total of 131 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer were enrolled. The 3-year survival rate with neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 53% (95%CI: 43.4-62.2) And R0 resection rate was 61% (95%CI: 54.06-68.5). Conclusion: According to the results it seems that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve survival rate and R0 resection rate of...
