Does tumor location affect the results of simple excision for multiple osteochondromas in the forearm?
The effectiveness of simple excision of osteochondromas of the distal aspect of the forearm is influenced by the tumor location and is related to the pattern of the deformity. Simple tumor excision can correct the forearm deformity in patients with an isolated tumor of the distal part of the ulna. Conversely, in patients with tumors involving the distal part of the ulna and the ulnar side of the distal end of the radius, tumor excision alone is a less promising procedure for the correction of the deformity.
Insulin use is significantly predictive for bladder cancer mortality in patients with T2DM. Insulin use and smoking jointly increase the risk.
