TITLE: Acrometastases. Initial presentation as diffuse ankle pain.
PUBDATE: 19941201
Acrometastases are rare and often misdiagnosed or overlooked. When it involves the feet, it generally attacks the larger bones containing the higher amounts of red marrow. The patient may or may not have a known history of cancer, which makes diagnosis much more difficult. The symptomatology is generally vague and can mimic other conditions, such as osteomyelitis, gouty rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, Paget's disease, osteochondral lesions, and ligamentous sprains. Therefore, the physician must consider metastatic disease in the differential diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made, the prognosis is poor and treatment is limited to pain relief and maintaining function.

PUBDATE: 19940501
While TRUS is not of value as a screening tool, it is of considerable value in the early detection of cancer of the prostate in men with abnormal DRE and/or PSA. TRUS enables calculation of PSA density to identify men at low risk, thus eliminating many unnecessary biopsies. This results in favorable impact on both cost and morbidity. When biopsy is necessary, TRUS greatly enhances accuracy. Its role in staging is of less importance but can be useful when positive, and it adds little to the cost or complexity of the examination.

TITLE: Surgical management of the locally advanced pelvic malignancy--the colorectal surgeon's view.
PUBDATE: 19950301
About 10% of patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer will have locally advanced disease without gross evidence of distant or discontiguous intraabdominal metastases. Long-term cure or disease-free survival frequently follows extended resection for a locally advanced primary colorectal carcinoma. The use of adjuvant combined chemo-radiation therapy is still being evaluated. While complete resection of recurrent disease sometimes provides the best long-term survival when compared with other treatment modalities, few patients are suitable candidates for curative resection. In our experience, major extended resection for recurrent pelvic disease is largely palliative and is rarely associated with long-term survival.

TITLE: Using a vaginal tube to exteriorize lymph nodes during a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy.
PUBDATE: 19950601
Laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for gynecological malignancy involves mobilizing and exteriorizing the lymph nodes. We removed the nodes by passing a 4- to 5-cm-diameter tube through the vagina to the abdomen following the hysterectomy. The nodes were passed through the tube rather than pulled through the abdominal ports. The tube is easy to insert and is a valuable conduit for exteriorizing tissue during laparoscopic pelvic surgery for gynecological cancer.

TITLE: Surgical management of locally recurrent rectal cancer.
PUBDATE: 19960301
The surgical management of locally recurrent rectal cancer may involve major procedures and is not for the faint-hearted. Nevertheless, such treatment is preferable to chemotherapy and radiotherapy; the latter will fail over a period of months during which the patient is likely to experience intractable pain. Radical surgery offers good palliation and a better quality of life. Survival is prolonged by such operations which may be curative in up to one-third of patients. Nevertheless, surgeons must be realistic in their assessment of and discussions with patients.

TITLE: Alternative therapies as control behaviours used by cancer patients.
PUBDATE: 19951001
Alternative health care practices are a way in which cancer patients can be in control of their illness situation. This assumption is investigated through control theory. While the sociocultural schemas of North American patients endorse control of illness, the stress of the cancer experience dismisses the advantage of control behaviours. Analysis also suggests that patients find ways to escape from the freedom of being in control of their health situation. This post-analysis of a recent study uncovers major ambiguities concerning the control behaviours of cancer patients.

PUBDATE: 19940301
Loss of appetite, regardless of cause, is a significant symptom that may cause extreme weight loss in older patients. The consequences of anorexia include muscle wasting, weakness, depression, increased susceptibility to disease complications, and decreased immunocompetence. In the older population, the major causes of anorexia are pulmonary and cardiac diseases, cancer, dementia, alcoholism, depression, and medications. The diagnosis is based on the physical exam, a history of weight loss, and a review of dietary intake. Treatment strategies include managing GI disturbances, encouraging physical activity and socialization, reducing fatigue and food aversions, and adding high-calorie supplements to the diet.

Adoptive immunotherapy with tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can induce tumor regressions in animals and in human cancer patients. Antigens recognized by CTLs from cancer patients are being sought as possible immunogens, a number of which have been identified during the past year. The ultimate result may be the development of novel peptide-based immunotherapies and a new understanding of the T-cell response to human cancer.

PUBDATE: 19950601
An abnormality in autonomic neural control in lung cancer has not yet been investigated. In the present work the role of histamine H1-receptors in the modulation of neurotransmitter receptors activity in human lung parenchyma in cancer is reported. It appeared that the activation of histamine H1-receptors may lead to the reduction of beta-adrenoceptors and the enhancement of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in cancer lung parenchyma. The above findings suggest the possibility of the interaction between neural and inflammatory systems in human lung cancer.

From December 1987 to 1994, a total of 193 patients with carcinoma of the gastric cardia were surgically treated by partial esophagectomy, partial gastrectony and end-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis with fundoplication. When compared to those patients during the same time period similarly treated but with end-to-end esophagogastrostomy, the incidences of anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stricture and esophageal reflux were all significantly decreased (P < 0.01). It is a novel surgical treatment of choice for cancer of the gastric cardia.

Cancer prevention is a major component of cancer control, which also comprises screening, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care. Preventive approaches need to be congruent with those adopted for other chronic diseases, with a major impact in reduction of incidence and mortality of many common cancers to be expected from smoking control and dietary modification. Increasing interest is now being paid to other environmental causes of cancer, and to gene-environment interactions. However, one of the major research needs remains the evaluation of better ways to convince people to make the necessary changes in their lifestyle that will reduce their risk of cancer.

By using this card for 24 patients, it was very useful because of its very selected, brief and summarized information. This card has much usefulness for nursing of such patients.

Modification of tumor cells using gene transfer either to enhance host immunity or to act directly on tumor cells is being intensively studied in animal models. Remarkable results have yielded to approved clinical protocols in the treatment of cancer patients using this approach. Several methods of gene delivery have been developed. This article is particularly devoted to the interest of the use of adenoviral vectors in the different strategies of cancer gene therapy.
