TITLE: Guillain-Barre syndrome following autologous bone marrow transplantation.
PUBDATE: 19950401
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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Thousands of men will be faced with a diagnosis of prostate cancer this year and will turn to their primary care physician for advice about which treatment is best. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers, and multiple factors, including the patient's age, must be weighed in decision making. In this article, Drs Williams and Love sift through the pros and cons of the available treatment options for various profiles of organ-confined disease.

PUBDATE: 19941201
Breast cancer is the most frequently encountered cancer in women and the first cause of death in the female population. Metastasis may occur ubiquitously depending on the histological type and the presence or absence of oestroprogesterone receptors. We report three cases with gastric metastasis. Signs of gastric involvement are often non-specific and should not be mistaken for simple side reactions to treatment. Hormone chemotherapy is indicated in most situations but surgery may be needed. It should be noted that gastrointestinal metastasis predominates in lobular breast cancers positive for progesterone receptors.

PUBDATE: 19961001
In the last decade there has been in-depth research into understanding the health effects of 1,3-butadiene in humans and in animals. With increasing knowledge of metabolism, pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action studied in animals, the uncertainties in risk assessment will be lessened. Still, some data gaps exist which, if filled, will be useful for meaningful risk assessments for the general population. This paper discusses the future needs for research in both non-cancer and cancer effects.

PUBDATE: 19951001
To improve the survival outlook for patients with small cell lung cancer a variety of chemotherapy strategies has been adopted. This review focuses on the evidence for schedule dependency, particularly with regard to etoposide, and reviews the use of alternating chemotherapy protocols and weekly regimens in small cell lung cancer treatment. Recent improvements in supportive care, with the use of haemopoietic growth factors and peripheral blood progenitor cells, have led to renewed interest in the concept of dose intensity. Preliminary results of dose intensification in small cell lung cancer are described and future prospects discussed.

TITLE: [Stress proteins: their growing significance in medicine]
PUBDATE: 19950701
In response to a variety of "emergencies", cells produce several stress proteins (heat shock proteins, HSP) that provide them with higher resistance and are able to repair protein damage. Their expression is regulated by heat shock transcription factors. Stress proteins are arousing growing interest in medicine, as major antigens in some infections and certain autoimmune diseases and also because of their possible involvement in the development and therapy of cancer. Elevated levels of stress proteins protect tissues and organs against ischemic injury and reduce infarct size. Stress proteins may also serve as a marker in diagnostic studies and in toxicology.

The effect of complex therapy (intra-arterial chemotherapy and radical surgery) on primary tumours and their metastases was studied in 38 oral squamous cell cancer cases. The therapy had different effect on the primary tumours and their lymph node metastases. There was a close correlation between the number of metastatic lymph nodes and survival. The extension and the chemotherapeutic regression rate of metastatic lesions showed a significant correlation with patients' survival.

The data presented indicate that viral agents (namely, HBV and HCV) are major environmental aetiological factors for human primary liver cancer. It is important to elucidate the molecular mechanisms further because HCC is one of the few examples of virus-related human cancers. In addition, the available evidence points to the possibility of at least partial prevention of the tumour by large-scale vaccination.

TITLE: Cost aspects of palliative cancer care.
PUBDATE: 19950401
Increasing concern is evident about the cost of palliative cancer care, a concern stemming from both government interest in cost containment and the growing nongovernment use of payment rates that are fixed in advance. In general, data on the cost-effectiveness of palliative cancer care are mixed; some types of palliative care appear to increase costs, while other forms may reduce overall costs of treatment. Pain management, however, is an area that seems to present significant opportunity for cost savings in palliative care if oral medications are used instead of high-technology modalities.
