Purpose: Thoracic sarcomas are rare malignancies, with limited data for unresectable/advanced scenarios. Our goal is to provide insights of a three-drug chemotherapy regimen improving patient survival compared to standard regimens. Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis of patients diagnosed with unresectable/advanced primary thoracic sarcoma divided between primary pulmonary sarcomas (PPS) and chest wall sarcomas (CWS) comparing chemotherapeutical regimens efficacy. Not true soft tissue sarcomas (STS) for PPS were excluded from the analysis. Univariate and multivariate analysis performed via Cox-regression model. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) analysis via Kaplan–Meier with hazard ratio (HR) obtained via Mantel–Haenszel or log rank.

Background: Postgraduate training in plastic surgery is heterogeneous between countries, with exposure to aesthetic surgery being a reflection of this. Fellowships in Mexico have usually consisted of tutorial teaching, providing graduates with experience but a lack of formal structure. The aim of his work is to present a University-backed program focused on aesthetic surgery and propose the expansion of this kind of program. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional review of surgical cases was performed over a five-year period from 2015 to 2019. Data were obtained from the senior surgeon’s practice charts. Information was recorded using a data sheet including patients' demographic characteristics, procedures performed and type of anesthesia applied. Descriptive analyses of patient demographic and clinical characteristics were performed. Continuous variables are expressed in central tendency measures, and categorical values are presented as percentages. © Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms. The most common form of these tumors in head and neck are non-functional carotid body tumors. These neoplasms may present an extensive growth and compromise vital neurovascular structures in the neck, such as carotid vessels. Carotid body tumors usually present clinically as painless neck masses and occur most frequently in adults averaging 45 to 50 years, being the majority of these tumors unilateral and only 5% of all cases bilateral. The main treatment for carotid body paragangliomas is surgical resection, which can be extremely challenging due to tumor hypervascularity and significant blood loss. We present a bilateral carotid body tumor case in a 61-year-old woman who presented due to a pulsatile and painless mass in the right carotid region of the neck of 1-year of evolution. The tumor was found encasing the external carotid artery and classified as Shamblin II. A novel approach for preoperative management was performed, placing a covered graft-stent in the right common and proximal (C1) internal carotid arteries in order to splint and provide structural protection for carotid vessels during surgical resection and temporarily reduce blood flow of the carotid body tumor.
