Hepatocellular cancer is a very common cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Only 30-40% of patients present with early-stage disease open to curative treatments, such as resection or transplantation, while others can only undergo local therapies or palliative care. Various trans-arterial approaches have been used for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients who need a down-staging to liver transplantation, and who are not candidates for transplantation or radiofrequency ablation. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), transarterial embolization (TAE), drug-eluting beads, and radioembolization have been used for locoregional control, and have been shown to prolong the overall survival when compared with supportive care. In this review, we discuss patient selection, pre- and post-procedure imaging, techniques, safety, and clinical outcomes related to these therapies. Newer advances with future directions in various fields related to trans-arterial therapies are also discussed.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of larynx is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of laryngeal malignancies, These tumors arise almost exclusively in the subglottic and supraglottic regions, while the proportion of glottic ACCs is small. We describe a case of a young man with a subglottis adenoid cystic carcinoma, The patient underwent laryngeal microscopic surgery and radiotherapy, Five years after radiotherapy, local recurrence and distant metastasis Clung and kidney) was detected and he underwent palliative chemotherapy and local treatment. He is still alive for seven years after the initial diagnosis. The treatment strategies for laryngeal ACC are still controversial due to the rarity of the condition. We suggest that multimodality approach may be helpful in deciding a treatment option, and thorough and consistent follow-up for recurrence is mandatory for these patients.

Thirty-three patients less than 40 years of age were diagnosed at CS Dept. of Catholic University Medical College between 1979 and 1988 as having primary lung cancer. There were 22 men and 11 women; the average age was 36.3 years. The youngest patients was 23 years old. Eighteen male patients were only habitual smokers more than 1 pack per day. In the 33 cases, the distribution by tumor type was as follows: squamous cell carcinoma 36.4%[13 cases]; adenocarcinoma 33.3%[11 cases]; small cell carcinoma 24.2%[8 cases]; and large cell carcinoma 3.0%[1 case]. At the time of diagnosis, 2 patients[6.1%] had stage I disease, 2[6.1%] had stage II disease, 5[15.6%] had stage IIIA disease, 10[30.3%] had stage lllB disease, and 14[42.4%] had stage IV disease. Thirteen patients[36.4%] underwent an exploratory thoracotomy. Of these patients, 9[27.3%] had surgical resection[six lobectomies, two pneumonectomies, and one wedge resection]. Thirty-one patients were treated with palliative radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or combinations of each. The survival rate at 1 year, 3 year, and 5 year were 48.2%, 14.5%, and 8.3% respectively. But in the resectable 9 patients, they were 78.1%, 43.6%, and 33.3% respectively.

Patients with locally advanced lung cancer and very limited pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second $[FEV1]{\leq}1L$) have dismal prognosis and undergo palliative treatment or best supportive care. We describe two cases of locally advanced node-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with very limited lung function treated with induction chemotherapy and moderate hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy (Hypo-IGRT). Hypo-IGRT was delivered to a total dose of 45 Gy to the primary tumor and involved lymph nodes. Planning was based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) and four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT). Internal target volume (ITV) was defined as the overlap of gross tumor volume delineated on 10 phases of 4D-CT. ITV to planning target volume margin was 5 mm in all directions. Both patients showed good clinical and radiological response. No relevant toxicity was documented. Hypo-IGRT is feasible treatment option in locally advanced node-positive NSCLC patients with very limited lung function ($FEV1{\leq}1L$).

Colorectal cancer is extremely rare in children. Unlike adult colorectal cancer, the overall prognosis of colorectal cancer in children is poor. Delayed diagnosis, advanced stages of the disease at presentation, and mucinous type of histology are the major determinants of poor outcome in childhood. A 13-year-old boy with abdominal pain visited our hospital. Physical examination andabdominal ultrasonography identified acute appendicitis with perforation. He underwent appendectomy and then the pathologic findings revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma. The cancer was located at the transverse colon and had metastases on peritoneal wall at $2^{nd}$ laparotomy. Extended right hemicolectomy was performed. He underwent palliative chemotherapy. After 4 months later, hepatic metastasis and aggravated peritoneal seedings developed. He died of renal failure and pneumonia 13 months after operation. We need to have a high index of suspicion for the possibility of a malignant colorectal tumor in any childhood case with nonspecific signs and symptoms.

Oncocytic neoplasm of the head and neck region accounts for approximately 1% of all salivary gland tumors, but only 5% of oncocytic neoplasm is malignant. Oncocytic carcinoma arising in the submandibular gland is exceedingly rare. We encountered a sixty seven-year-old male patient who presented with multiple mass in the right neck. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed a salivary gland tumor of predominantly oncocytic form, and a differential diagnosis included oncocytic adenoma or mucoepidermoid carcinoma. A right submandibular gland resection and modified radical neck dissection were performed. Histologically, the tumor cells showed nuclear pleomorphism, and stromal invasion, which were compatible with oncocytic carcinoma. After surgery, the entire neck region was irradiated. Seventeen months after the initial surgery, multiple metastases to the bone and lung were detected from the incidental pathologic bone fracture of the right humerus; palliative chemotherapy was performed to resolve this. We report a case of oncocytic carcinoma in the submandibular gland with a review of literature.

Background: Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer- related deaths worldwide and ranks $11^{th}$ or $14^{th}$ among all deaths. Patients with advanced disease require supportive care along with the medical and/or surgical treatment. Aim: To assess the need for palliative care for patients with advanced tumours along with standard clinical therapy. Materials and Methods: Eighty-four patients with metastatic (stage 4) gastric cancer, including both patients who had received surgical treatment or not, were followed up in Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Division of Medical Oncology between 2011 and 2014. They were categorised as supportive care (-) (Group 1, n=37) and (+) groups (Group 2, n=47) and evaluated retrospectively. Results: Demographic characteristics of the patients were as follows: mean age, Group 1, $65.2{\pm}10.5$ years, Group $2,63.7{\pm}11.3$ years; male/female ratio, Group 1, 21/16, Group 2, 28/19; distribution of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scores of 0 and 1, Group 1, ECOG 0 (n=9) and 1 (n=14), Group 2, ECOG 0 (34) and 1 (n=13) (p<0.0001); patients receiving second-line, Group 1 (n=7) and Group 2 (n=22) (p<0.008) or third - line chemotherapy,Group 2 (n=6) (p<0.02); mortality rates, Group 1, (n=28; 75.6%) and Group 2 (n=30; 63.8%); progression-free survival (PFS) rates, Group 1, $17.4{\pm}6$ weeks, Group 2, $28.3{\pm}16.2$ weeks; statistically significant overall survival rates, Group 1, $20.8{\pm}8.2$ weeks and Group 2, $28.3{\pm}162$ weeks (p<0.01). Conclusions: The supportive care team (medical oncologist, general surgeon, internal medicine specialist, algologist, psychiatrist and radiologist) can play a role in the treatment of metastatic gastric tumours, with improvements shown in terms of the performance status of cases, eligibility of patients to be on chemotherapy programmes for longer duration and overall survival rates in Turkey.
