Angiosarcomas account for 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas and of them, primary renal angiosarcomas represent 1%. Twenty-four cases have been published in the English specialised literature. We report the second case to be described in a middle-aged female, with pulmonary metastases at diagnosis, and fatal outcome despite surgery and chemotherapy.

NLR is a useful prognostic factor for OS in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Moreover, we suggest that a biweekly regimen is an option for certain groups of patients.

the TZM group. 5-year survival was 100% in TZM group vs. 90.4% in the control (p¼0.038). On multivariate analysis grade III tumor was significantly correlated with DFS (Hazard ratio [HR], 5.5, 95%CI: 0.92-9.5, p¼0.004). Lack of adjuvant TZM (HR, 3.0, 95%CI: 0.92-9.5) did not correlate with DFS.Conclusions: Overall outcomes of women with HER2+ T1a/bN0 BC is good. Women who received adjuvant TZM had numerically better DFS and a significantly better overall survival. High-grade tumor was correlated with inferior disease-free survival.Legal entity responsible for the study: Shahid Ahmed.

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is characterised by proliferation of vascular endothelial and lymphoreticular cells, frequently with a multicentric expression developed from a single node and evolving to multiple cutaneous lumps or plaque-like appearance. Four types of KS with similar histological patterns have been described in terms of their clinical and epidemiological features: classic KS, endemic (African) KS, iatrogenic KS and epidemic (AIDS-related) KS. The differences in clinical features are quite relevant: classic KS is usually limited to the lower extremities; whereas immunodeficiency-related diseases frequently involve several organs. A case of a 67-year-old woman with metastatic KS and unproven immunodeficiency is presented.
