TITLE: [The role and future of radiotherapy in cancer treatment]
PUBDATE: 19950901
The basic principle of radiotherapy for cancer patients is that it has the possibility of a good result (curability), is tolerable and promises a comfortable life thereafter. Radiotherapy is the important tool for early stage cancer by conserving the organ and function and for an advanced or recurrent stage of cancer by helping improve the quality of life. Radiotherapy must be planned on the basis of considering the therapeutic ratio with a 3-dimensional technique. It should be performed with optimum radiation methods in the multimodal treatment of cancer and will undoubtedly prove effective in the future.

PUBDATE: 19900601
This paper reports the results of a study on the invasive characteristics of 22 colorectal cancer by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that adenocarcinoma cells stretching polymorphic pseudopodia penetrated into peripheral tissue and adhered to or invaded the vessels, but most of the mucoid carcinoma cells migrated separately into the tissue clefts and invaded the vessels. The invasive mode had dominant differentiation in two typical cancer. The author believes that colorectal cancer possesses two invasive factors: ameboid movement and destroying tissues by lysozyme.

TITLE: Current status of radioimmunodetection.
PUBDATE: 19940701
Radioimmunodetection is a nuclear medicine technique that depends on in vivo detection of localization of antibodies and antibody forms carrying radioactivity for the purpose of diagnosis in patients with cancer. Current methods take advantage of tracers suitable for high resolution gamma-camera imaging, such as 99mTc and 111In, for common tumors, such as colon and lung cancers. In addition, tracers such as 125I have been used for the intraoperative detection of metastatic deposits. These methods detect from 75 to 90% of metastatic deposits with high specificity, and typically contribute important diagnostic information, even in 25-40% of patients with occult disease.

A case of adenocarcinoma of the splenic flexure during pregnancy is reported. A 27-year-old woman was admitted at 34 weeks of pregnancy with abdominal pain and vomiting. 36 hours after normal delivery an emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed for intestinal obstruction. A huge tumor of the splenic flexure with retroperitoneal extension was found. She died 1 year later of metastatic disease. Delay in diagnosis and complications of colonic cancer are more prevalent in pregnancy. While colonic carcinoma during pregnancy is extremely rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of colonic symptoms. The 24th case of this type is reported.

PUBDATE: 19960401
Myelosuppression is the most common toxicity associated with the administration of dose-intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy. The basic understanding of neutrophil biology and the physiology of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia has advanced tremendously in the past 2 decades. Concordantly, the ability to reduce the morbidity associated with neutropenia has improved. Adjunctive cytokine and progenitor cell support of hematologic recovery after myelosuppressive therapy have proved to be models of translational research and have led to novel therapeutic initiatives for patients with cancer and hematologic malignancies. In this article, fundamental aspects of neutrophil production are discussed, and the clinical development of hematopoietic cytokines active on cells of the leukocyte lineages is presented.

This paper generalizes the index for temporal clustering proposed by Tango in two ways: it allows for nonuniform population distributions across the study period and it is applicable to the detection of disease clustering in space where there are variations in population distribution among categories of the confounding factor such as age and sex. Applications are illustrated with 1833 cases of mortality from uterine cancer in the Tokyo metropolitan area during 1978-1982.

TITLE: Stem cell regulation, tissue ontogeny, and oncogenic events.
PUBDATE: 19920601
The number of necessary oncogenic events is a function of tissue ontogeny. A minimum of two events appears to suffice for certain embryonal tumors, leukemias, and lymphomas for which the target tissues normally show stem cell proliferation. Other tumors, including those featured in the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, arise in target tissues whose stem cells are conditionally stimulated to proliferate, as in response to hormones, and involve more events. The most complex cancers include most carcinomas, which arise in renewal tissues whose stem cells do not normally proliferate. The number of necessary oncogenic events appears to increase with the number of controls on proliferation.

PUBDATE: 19910801
The patient was a 72-year-old woman who had advanced carcinoma of the stomach. She presented massive ascites due to peritonitis carcinomatosa. The cytology of ascites was class V and the CEA level of ascites was elevated. Since renal function was low, we injected 300 mg of carboplatin intraperitoneally 2 times in 8 weeks. The amount of ascites was significantly diminished and the CEA level of ascites was decreased. The result suggested the effectiveness of intraperitoneal injection of carboplatin for the therapy of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.

Dysplasia and cancer of the cervix may be related to human papillomavirus infection. To determine the presence of cancer in cases of genital warts we have been using a technique, androscopy, for examining male genitals with magnified lens previously sprayed with white vinegar (5% acetic acid). This paper explores the methods of using colposcopy and androscopy on both sexual partners for a thorough examination of genitals and the anorectal area. It also discusses treatment advantages of the CO2 laser. In our investigation plain, pedunculated warts and a giant condyloma (Buschke-Loewenstein tumor) were found and treated with CO2 laser surgery.

Leiomyosarcoma of the stomach is an unfrequent tumor, for which the prognosis is better than for cancer of the stomach. Its development is often subserosal, thus explaining its clinical latency and its large volume at the time of diagnosis. While many publications report about the merits of conventional imaging for this type of pathology, few authors have considered ultrasonographic endoscopy, and even fewer magnetic resonance imaging. The authors present one case for which these two recent techniques were implemented, as well as a review of the literature.

PUBDATE: 19910301
R.A. Fisher's work on lung cancer and smoking is critically reviewed. The controversy is placed in the context of his career and personality. Although Fisher made invaluable contributions to the field of statistics, his analysis of the causal association between lung cancer and smoking was flawed by an unwillingness to examine the entire body of data available and prematurely drawn conclusions. His views may also have been influenced by personal and professional conflicts, by his work as a consultant to the tobacco industry, and by the fact that he was himself a smoker.

PUBDATE: 19900601
Fifty patients with advanced gastric cancer underwent chemotherapy in accordance with the FAMTX protocol. Complete tumor remission was achieved in 6 patients and partial remission in 11 patients. In this group 9 patients (tumor stage: T3-4, N2-3, M chi-1) underwent a second-look operation after chemotherapy either to confirm the complete remission or to resect the remaining tumor mass. It is concluded that even in advanced stages of gastric carcinomas a more aggressive approach involving a combination of surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment improves the survival time of these patients.

This report presents a case of aortic valvular dysfunction and right coronary artery disease following radiation therapy on the mediastinum. A 61-year-old woman had received mediastinal radiation for the treatment of right mammary cancer 20 years previously. She developed symptoms of congestive heart failure 6 months ago. The patient was found to have aortic valvular dysfunction and proximal stenosis of the right coronary artery. Surgical aortic valve replacement improved cardiac status, and vasodilator treatment reduced ischemia due to right coronary artery stenosis.

PUBDATE: 19960601
Although laparoscopic techniques in gastric surgery have become an important part of upper gastrointestinal surgery, they are mainly utilized for organ preserving procedures. A standardized technique for laparoscopic gastrectomy has not yet been described in detail. The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized technique for laparoscopic gastrectomy with reconstruction by a stapled termino-lateral esophago-je-junostomy and Roux-en-Y-anastomosis in a cadaver model. The resected stomach was removed through an enlarged trocar incision. The described technique has been successfully performed in one patient with early gastric cancer.
