Percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of malignant ureteral obstruction: an alternative using central venous catheter and “zero irradiation” by Juan C Astigueta in Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine (OAJOM) in Lupine Publishers

Introduction and Objective: Percutaneous Nephrostomy (NP) is a procedure that involves the placement of a drainage catheter in the renal pelvis by puncture through the skin guided by an imaging method. The objective of the work is to present our experience in PN with ultrasound guidance (zero irradiation) in patients with ureteral obstruction secondary to oncological pathologies, showing the step-by-step technique and the usefulness of the 7 French central venous catheter set (CVC-7F).

Cancer and Advantages of Immunosuppression by Mirta D Ambra in Open Access Journal of Oncology and Medicine in Lupine publishers

As oncologists learn to target the immune response to “self and non-self,” a delicate therapy balance will eventually be achieved with predictable outcomes, benefits, and toxicity in the fightThe study of how the immune system recognizes friend and foe, or as the immunologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet phrased it, “distinguishes between self and non-self,” has driven important discoveries that are transforming our ability to treat cancer.
