Recurrent Stroke and Fatal Ruptured Mycotic Aneurysm Caused by Invasive < em > Aspergillus fumigatus < /em > Infection
CONCLUSION: In immunosuppressed patients with neutropenia or using chronic steroids who have concurrent pulmonary and CNS infection, there should be a low threshold to treat empirically for fungal infections prior to confirmation of diagnosis.PMID:33974773

Cardiac comorbidity in head and neck cancer patients and its influence on cancer treatment selection and mortality: a prospective cohort study
AbstractComorbidity assessment and a profound cardiac examination were implemented into pre-treatment diagnostics to analyze their influence on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) therapy selection and short-term mortality. Comorbidity was measured prospectively in 49 HNSCC patients using standard indices between 2012 and 2013. Cardiac examinations included electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and bicycle ergometry. Most patients had stage IV tumors (61  %), smoked (61 %), and showed alcohol abuse (57 %); 38 patients (78 %) received a multimodal therapy; 65 % had an adult comorbidity evaluation 27 index ≥2...

Definitive chemoradiotherapy for advanced cervical cancer: should it be different in the elderly?
Conclusions Despite advanced age, more than 60% of pts underwent complete CRT treatment. Thus, age should not be the only factor to guide therapeutic decisions in CC. Carboplatin was better tolerated

Bm-12 * cerebral infarction secondary to pulmonary vein compression and left atrial appendage tumor infiltration as the presenting sign of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue
CONCLUSION: Cardiac metastases are rare and non-myxomatous tumor embolization to the brain even rarer especially in the setting of cerebral infarction due to pulmonary vein thrombus. Here we describe a case of multiple acute cerebral infarctions appearing from a proximal source refractory to anticoagulation. Thromboembolism from the pulmonary vein and tumor embolization from cardiac metastases are the likely mechanisms for his clinical presentation and radiographic findings. This case demonstrates the complexity of multiple stroke etiologies in one patient and the importance of cardiac imaging in stroke evaluation, particu...
