This study was executed at Al Assad hospital, Lattakia . is a retrospective study of ovarian mass patients who had been accepted in the department of gynecology during the period between 1/1/2009 and 31/12/2013 .The aim was to study age distribution of benign and malignant tumors , and to study the relation between Ca125 and pre/postmenopausal benign and malignant tumors. The study included 148 patients . The patients' ages ranged between 13-78 years , and the majority of benign tumors occurred in the age group 21- 40 years and the majority of malignant tumors occurred in the age group 51- 60 years . The commonest tumors were epithelial in origin followed by the germ cell tumors followed by sex cord stromal tumors and metastatic tumors. In benign tumorsCa125>=35u/ml was more frequently with endometriosis followed by serous tumors . and in malignant tumors was more frequently with serous tumors followed by mucinous tumors. The highest sensitivity of ca125 level was in prediction postmenopausal benign tumors but with low specificity followed by prediction postmenopausal malignant tumors with high specificity. The quality of the test was higher in postmenopausal benign/malignant tumors compared to premenopausal tumors

Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer death. S100A7 overexpression has been associated with early stages of carcinomas . This study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum S100A7 in lung cancer. Our study contains 63 patients of lung cancer (46 newly diagnosis patients, 11 treated patients, 6 recurrence patients) and 15 healthy volunteers
يعد السرطان من أهم الأمراض المسببة للوفاة في جميع أنحاء العالم حيث سجل ما يقارب 14 مليون حالة إصابة جديدة و8.2 مليون حالة وفاة في عام 2012 ومن المتوقع أن يرتفع عدد الاصابات بمعدل 70% خلال العقدين القادميين
the aim of this study is to prove that laparoscopic approach in experienced hands is the treatment of choice for adrenal masses (up to 10 cm) the study was conducted in Al Asad University hospital between 2004-2006.By reviewing the files of 22 p atients with adrenal mass retrospectively and prospectively all of them were done laparoscopicaly except one case in which the operation was converted to open approach .the variables that considered in this study were the difficulty of the procsdure,time of surgery, the ratio of conversion to the classic approach (open adrenalectomy ^morbidity and mortality rates.
There is a group of tumors share the same nuclear size <3 red blood cells and can be differentiated only by immunostaining. All thoracic small cells tumors diagnosed between 1998-2001 during 4 years, at AL ASSAD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL – DAMASCUS UNIV ERSITY. There were 103 cases (66 cases of small cell carcinoma, 30 malignant lymphoma, and 7 cases of PNET ). We performed the immunostaining in 31 cases of small cell carcinoma ,all of them were malignant lymphomas and the 7 cases of PNET*. PNET cannot be diagnosed without immunostaining. We must demand the immunostaining if there is a doubt ( clinical or pathological) about the real nature of a small cell tumor.
Primary cardiac tumors are considered rarely common tumors. They are classified into two kinds of tumors: (1) Benign cardiac tumors frequently located in the left cardiac chambers, mostly common is the Myxoma , which is treated by complete good ex cising surgery including excision of the tumor base. (2) Malignant primary tumors, which prefer the right cardiac chambers, mostly common are Angiosarcoma and Mesothelioma, whose primary treatment is nearly complete excision surgery with the help of artificial heart and lung, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which seldom prolong the life of the patient for about three years.
