Twenty evaluable patients with advanced cervical cancer refractory to one prior chemotherapy regimen were treated with a 5-day schedule of fludarabine phosphate. No responses were noted. The major toxicities were anemia and leukopenia. Based on this study, fludarabine phosphate does not appear to be an active agent for patients with chemotherapy refractory cervical cancer.

The pathogenesis of the Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is felt to involve alterations in cellular and humoral immune responses. We report the case of a 44-year-old female with stage IV breast cancer who developed GBS 2 days after receiving high dose chemotherapy with bone marrow and peripheral progenitor cell support, and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Her clinical status stabilized with plasmapheresis. This report lends further support to hypotheses regarding cellular immune alterations in the pathogenesis of GBS.

PUBDATE: 19920501
Survival time of 119 consecutive patients with metastasizing carcinoma of the breast who had been treated with various chemotherapeutic schedules after radical operation was determined retrospectively. 57 women received chemotherapy and hormones, as well as radiotherapy, while 62 had radiotherapy plus hormone treatment. The mean prolongation of life in the former group over that of the latter was 12 months (p less than 0.01). Although chemotherapy delayed death, the dynamics of cancer were not fundamentally affected. The chemotherapy-induced prolongation (2.5 months to five years) was independent of any risk, primary location of the metastases or age.

Enterocutaneous fistula development is not uncommon in patients with advanced cancer and can be very challenging to manage. The authors present a case study of a patient with multiple enterocutaneous fistulas that developed in the setting of metastatic colon cancer. Assessment methods and interventions that permitted successful management are discussed with emphasis on the value of multidisciplinary care.

PUBDATE: 19940701
We reviewed our experience performing mediastinoscopy as an outpatient procedure. From January 1, 1987, to December 31, 1992, 1,015 of 1,062 cervical mediastinoscopies were performed on an outpatient basis. There were no operative deaths. Complications developed in 14 patients, 10 of whom required hospitalization. Two additional patients were hospitalized for social reasons. Supraventricular arrhythmia was the most frequent complication requiring admission to the hospital. This article documents the ability to perform mediastinoscopy safely as an outpatient procedure and discusses why this is our preferred approach in managing patients with lung cancer.

PUBDATE: 19920901
The connective tissues underlying the precancerous changes of the epithelia were separated and combined with the epithelia which were separated from the normal mucosa. The combinations were transplanted in nude mice. Specimens were taken at 6 and 10 weeks after transplantation and routinely processed for microscopic examination. The results show that the connective tissue underlying epithelial dysplasia may induce the normal epithelium undergoing epithelial dysplasia changes. The experiment demonstrates the etiological importance of the connective tissue in the development of cancer, and may be applied clinically in the treatment of precancerous lesions.

PUBDATE: 19940201
Esophageal cancer is a highly virulent malignancy with a poor prognosis. Adenocarcinomas of the proximal stomach and lower esophagus are rapidly increasing in incidence; the reasons for this remain unclear. Both epidermoid and adenocarcinomas have high local and distant failure rates when treated with conventional therapy. New developments in chemotherapy both in the neoadjuvant and advanced disease settings are under intense investigation in an attempt to improve the prognosis of esophageal cancer.

Blood flow characteristics were measured in patients with histologically proved cervical cancer and compared to normal values. Flow parameters were derived by color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound. The results showed a significant difference in the mean values of resistance index and pulsatility index among the diseased patients and healthy controls. However, the method does not have the required sensitivity for screening purposes, so that its value may mainly be in the follow-up of patients treated conservatively with radiation and chemotherapy.

TITLE: [Urological emergency for cancer patients]
PUBDATE: 19970201
We summarized here the urological emergency status accompanied by cancer, such as urinary obstruction, bleeding and renal failure. Hydronephrosis occurs due to obstructive change and post-renal failure finally results after complete obstruction of bilateral ureters. Patients with obstructive disease are treated with percutaneous nephrostomy or indwelling double-J catheter. Bladder tamponade develops after bleeding of the urinary tract. Patients with bleeding are treated by bladder irrigation or transcatheter arterial embolization. Acute renal failure (ARF) includes pre-renal ARF, renal ARF and post-renal ARF, necessitating emergency hemodialysis. The emergency status can be often observed simultaneously, so careful examination and rapid treatment are necessary.

TITLE: Iron, radiation, and cancer.
PUBDATE: 19900701
Increased iron content of cells and tissue may increase the risk of cancer. In particular, high available iron status may increase the risk of a radiation-induced cancer. There are two possible mechanisms for this effect: iron can catalyze the production of oxygen radicals, and it may be a limiting nutrient to the growth and development of a transformed cell in vivo. Given the high available iron content of the western diet and the fact that the world is changing to the western model, it is important to determine if high iron increases the risk of cancer.

PUBDATE: 19900501
Evidence indicates progress in the early detection of breast cancer. After 1982 there was a reported increase in the incidence of breast cancer, presumably as a result of increased screening for the disease. The increase was especially noted in early stage breast cancer. The incidence of in situ cases also increased. Since 1973 the San Francisco-Oakland Bay area has reported a statistically significant decrease in mortality for white women. The evidence supports continued efforts at early breast cancer detection.

Based on a series of 220 cases of reconstruction (63 cases) or correction (67 cases) of the nipple-areolar complex and various extramammary procedures (tattoo scar revision, lips, eyebrows, eyelashes) (90 cases), the authors present their 2-year experience of medical dermography in a cancer centre. Dermography allows breast reconstruction to be completed in a large number of patients who had initially refused to complete their reconstruction. This minimally aggressive outpatient technique which reconstitutes the areolo-nipple complex with sufficient quality, is now part of reconstruction protocols and is gradually replacing surgical techniques.

PUBDATE: 19910701
The majority of cancer patients (95%) whatever the malignancy location are shown to develop various pathological process in the lungs. 20% of lethal outcomes occur due to acute and protracted croup and focal pneumonias. Such pneumonias are often found after the patients death because of a symptomless and atypical course. These findings dictate a necessity of comprehensive pulmonological studies in cancer patients and administration of detoxication therapy to manage the bronchial obstruction syndrome registered in 39% of cancer patients probably as an early stage of further pulmonary impairment.

The existence of metastasis by lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination, is a regular fact during the course of bronchogenic carcinoma; they were described in different parts of the organism, those regular parts of metastasis are: suprarenals glands, liver, brain, contralateral lung and bone; however the presentation of cutaneous metastasis as first manifestation of lung cancer is infrequent. We revise the literature and we present two cases, remitted from the Service of Surgery in which the were studied for subcutaneous tumor of new appearance.
