TITLE: [The treatment to the high gastric ulcer (author's transl)]
PUBDATE: 19770401
This is a report on 64 patients, who were operated on because of gastric ulcer situated near the cardia. We found the best results after the so-called step-like resection, which is preferable to selective vagotomy with excision of the ulcer and pyloroplasty because of the special conditions of the secretion of gastric juice in the case of high ulcers. Because of the danger of the development of a cancer in a B-II-stomach we prefer the B-I-anastomosis. For ulcers with stenosis of the esophagus a cardiofundectomy should be performed. Ulcers high on the greater curvature and in the fundus should be excised and a distal gastrectomy (B-I) should follow. The sole excision of the ulcer or the operation according to Kelling-Madlener are not recommended.

TITLE: Inappropriate production of collagen and prolyl hydroxylase by human breast cancer cells in vivo.
PUBDATE: 19750601
Thirty-two scirrhous cancers of breast have been examined to determine the origin of the collagen stroma in these tumours. Employing two immunohistochemical techniques it has been shown that the malignant epithelial cells in 30 of these tumours contain not only collagen but also prolyl hydroxylase, a key enzyme in collagen biosynthesis. Neither this enzyme nor collagen was detectable in the spindle cells in the stroma of these tumours. Neither the epithelium in normal breast, that in fibrocystic disease and in fibroadenomata, nor the malignant epithelium in two medullary cancers of breast contained either collagen or prolyl hydroxylase. These results strongly suggest that the malignant epithelium of scirrhous breast cancers produces its own collagen stroma and that the scirrhous reaction in these tumours is not a host response to tumour invasion. The production of collagen and prolyl hydroxylase by breast cancer cells (of the scirrhous type) therefore represents another example of inappropriate protein production by a human tumour.

A comparative study of the results of treatment in 264 patients treated surgically and in 236 patients subjected to a combination treatment, using an intensive concentration gammatherapy (500 rad daily up to 3000 rad), has demonstrated that preoperative irradiation does not result in a higher postoperative mortality. In the combination therapy all kinds of surgery performed for rectal cancer seem to be feasible.

PUBDATE: 19751101
178 patients of both sexes operated on for benign conditions of the mamilla between 1957 and 1967 were reviewed and the results are reported. The most frequent condition was sclerocystic mastosis, followed by benign cancer and forms with chronic inflammatory aetiology. The most affected sex, obviously, was the female. At follow-up, on average 9 yrs after operation, 19 female patients reported the reappearance of benign neoformations of the mamilla while carcinoma had occurred in a further 7 patients.

PUBDATE: 19811001
Hypercalcemia is a common paraneoplastic syndrome complicating some varieties of lung cancer. It has rarely been reported with small-cell carcinoma of the lung. Seven cases of hypercalcemia complicating small-cell carcinoma of the lung are described; clinical features indicate that significant bone or bone marrow involvement is present in all cases. Parathormone assays were found to be generally in the normal range, though inappropriate for the levels of hypercalcemia.

PUBDATE: 19810801
An 80-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer to the lungs and bones was treated with tamoxifen, 10 mg twice daily, with arrest of disease of six month's duration. At the time of progression, increasing the dosage to 20 mg twice daily resulted in an objective remission now lasting 8+ months. This finding indicates that in this patient, the tamoxifen dosage of 40 mg/daily had a significantly higher anti-tumor effect than 20 mg/daily. Pertinent literature on the correlation of response with tamoxifen dosage is reviewed.

TITLE: Platelet transfusion therapy.
PUBDATE: 19770901
Platelet transfusions are of unquestionably proven benefit for the correction of thrombocytopenia or functional platelet disorders, and they have allowed for more intensive antineoplastic therapy. With the advent of blood component therapy most modern blood banks now have the capabilities for supplying at least limited quantities of platelets. Refinements in procurement methods will inevitably lead to a greater supply of platelets and the establishment of larger transfusion programs. These programs will need to incorporate facilities for platelet storage, recruitment of suitable donors, selection of special donors for refractory patients, and methods for quality control. As antineoplastic therapy becomes more aggressive, such transfusion programs will become an integral part of the operation of cancer treatment centers.

TITLE: Hyperbaric oxygen: the Medical Research Council trials and their clinical significance.
PUBDATE: 19781101
The clinical trials of the use of hyperbaric oxygen in radiotherapy conducted by the Medical Research Council's working party have shown that local cure and survival can be improved in head and neck and cervical cancer. Evidence for benefit has been presented in carcinoma of bronchus, but none has so far been found in carcinoma of the bladder. Although hyperbaric oxygen has produced increased effect upon normal tissues as well as upon tumour, a real improvement in therapeutic ratio appears to be present. The future use of hyperbaric oxygen in radiotherapy will depend upon a comparison of effectiveness with other methods now being tested to improve radiotherapy. The trials have yielded much fundamental and clinical data of general relevance in the radiotherapy of malignant disease.

PUBDATE: 19750801
Among 16,394 necropsies during the 12-year period, 1958-1969 (representing about 60% of all persons who died in Malmö during this period, 747 cases of bronchial cancer were found in 744 individuals. There were considerable differences in frequency of different histologic types with regard to sex. Two main classes have therefore been distinguished: Group I, comprising squamous epithelial cancer and anaplastic cancer (including oat-cell cancer), which was predominant among men; and Group II, comprising adenocarcinoma, bronchiolar carcinoma, carcinoid and bronchial gland tumour, which was of more or less equal frequency in both sexes. Compared with other malignant tumours, bronchial carcinoma had a strong tendency to metastasise to the adrenals, brain, kidneys and skeleton. Bronchial cancer did not differ from other tumours with regard to lymphogenous spread but had a stronger tendency to spread via the blood stream. Squamous epithelial cancer showed the strongest tendency to remain confined to the thoracic cavity.

"Small cells" or "oat cells" characterize a virulent form of lung cancer and share many biochemical properties with peptide-secreting neurones. The neuropeptide bombesin is present in all small-cell lines examined, but not in other lung cancer cell lines, suggesting that bombesinergic precursor cells in lung may give rise to this disease.

PUBDATE: 19801101
A rare case of bilateral fat necrosis of the breast is reported. The patient was a 50-year-old unmarried woman having no history of trauma, disease or surgery of the breast. In the bilateral breasts, ill-defined, firm masses with skin retraction were noted. Bilateral breast cancer was diagnosed clinically. However, both lesions showed histologically chronic granulomatous inflammation with foci of fatty necrosis, infiltration of lymphocytes, plasma cells, lipid containing foamy cells, foreign body giant cells engurfing choresterol-crystals, and calcification. "Paraffinoma" was thus suspected, but there was no history of cosmetic mammoplasty and histochemical studies failed to demonstrate saturated lipid indicating paraffin or other mineral oils.

TITLE: Preservation of sexual potency in prostatic cancer patients after 125I implantation.
PUBDATE: 19790101
Sexual histories were obtained in 51 men with prostatic cancer and their spouses, before and after pelvic lymphadenectomy and retropubic 125I implantation. The average age of the patients was 64.7 years. Sexual activity was retained in 40 of the 41 patients who were sexually active before operation. Ten patients had been sexually inactive before operation--4 with diminished potency and 6 with complete erectile impotence. Sexual dysfunction was most often pyschogenic. At six months after the operation, 5 of these patients had resumed satisfactory sexual intercourse as a result of reassurance, encouragement and education of the remaining sexual potential. No patient was rendered completely impotent as a result of the procedure. Preservation of sexual potency represents a significant advantage of 125I implantation over other therapeutic modalities in the treatment of localized prostatic carcinoma.

A series of 121 patients with carcinoma of the lower oral cavity seen at the British Columbia Cancer Institute during the years 1963 to 1969 has been reviewed. We have evidence of improved treatment results over a previous series of patients treated between 1953 and 1962. The results are as satisfactory as other reported treatment policies in which either surgery or radiation is used exclusively. Careful follow-up of all patients is essential. When recurrence or metastatic disease is recognized early, further treatment can still result in cure. The criteria for case selection of the individual patients are outlined.

Endoscopy of the resected stomach is indicated in the presence of all types of symptoms affecting the stomach, in gastrointestinal bleeding, and within the framework of prophylactic screening and follow-up examinations for cancer detection. Frequent findings are peptic ulcers, suture granulomas, and reflux esophagitis. Carcinomas in the stump develop increasingly from the 10th to 15th postoperative years. In the resected stomach, the pylorocardial expansion type of gastritis predominates. Atrophy is not an obligatory finding. Foveolar hyperplasia is typical, predominantly in the region of the anastomosis.

PUBDATE: 19791101
One hundred one breast cancer patients with brain metastases (BM) were reviewed. The median survival from BM was 4.0 months. Seventy percent were receiving chemotherapy at the diagnosis of BM and 43% were showing a clinical response. Prolonged survival was seen in patients who underwent surgical resection, those with the brain as site of first metastasis, and those with a long free interval who survived the initial 5 months after BM. Long-term survivors (greater than 18 months from BM) demonstrated indolent disease by all parameters measured.
