Does serum calcium concentration affect signal changes on diffusion-weighted imaging in hypoglycemic encephalopathy?
One-third of patients with HE had abnormal signals on brain DWI, and patients with low serum calcium levels may be less likely to present with abnormal DWI signals.
LNM were almost always (94%) found in patients who have elevated calcitonin levels after primary therapy. In patients without distant metastases, four-compartment lymphadenectomy gives a chance of cure in 35%. A tumor stage-oriented approach does not seem to be justified.
