TITLE: Symptomatic choroidal metastases in breast cancer.
PUBDATE: 19920801
A series of 21 consecutive patients with carcinoma of the breast and symptomatic choroidal metastases was reviewed. All patients were symptomatic of choroidal metastases at presentation. Most patients had disease progression at other sites at the time of diagnosis. The incidence of cerebral metastases was not increased in this group compared to that in patients with metastatic breast cancer at other sites. Radiotherapy using a direct anterior field proved effective palliation for this disease site. Of the 32 eyes treated, serial visual acuity was documented in 23. Seventeen showed objective improvement and six showed stabilisation. The median duration of improvement was 11.5 months.

Previous studies of the relationship between cancer stage, age, and race have not controlled for social class and health care setting. Logistic regression analyses, using information from the New York State Tumor Registry and area-level social class indicators, demonstrated that, in New York City, older Black, lower class women in public hospitals were 3.75 and 2.54 times more likely to have late stage breast or cervical cancer, respectively, than were younger White, high social class women in non-public hospitals.

PUBDATE: 19900601
Eight therapeutic variants were worked out for 602 patients with esophageal cancer: 61 patients entered in the control group. The latter received routine radiation therapy. The results of therapy of 496 patients were studied. The most promising method was chemoradiotherapy using multifractionation of a daily dose of irradiation, the 4-year survival rate of 20% being achieved. For combination with radiation therapy the following schemes of chemotherapeutic agents were used bleomycin-methotrexate-prospidine, bleomycin-adriamycin-methotrexate, dactinomycin-methotrexate-prospidine, methotrexate-prospidine. Intensive detoxication therapy with parenteral feeding is recommended to decrease the frequency of complications and to improve therapy tolerance.

TITLE: Enlarged lymph nodes: malignant or not?
PUBDATE: 19920501
Prospective controlled data of lymph node evaluation by endoscopic ultrasound in esophageal, gastric and pancreatic cancer is presented. Lymph node pattern, changes of boundaries and echogenicity were considered. Preoperative findings of endoscopic ultrasound were classified according to TNM staging. Only those cases with subsequent histologic examination of the resected specimen were entered into the study. Sensitivity of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was 90% for esophageal and 87% for gastric cancer. The specificity was 72% and 88%, respectively. In spite of the overall satisfactory results of EUS in evaluation of lymph nodes, further improvement in detection and differentiation of benign and malignant nodes is required.

TITLE: [Detection of estrogen receptors (ER) in gastric cancer]
PUBDATE: 19921101
Using Avidn-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemical method, 68 gastric cancer specimens and 20 non-cancerous stomach specimens were examined for ER. In 38 of 68 gastric cancer specimens, ER concentrations were also biochemically determined by Dextran-coated charcoal (DCC) assay. The results showed that ER was absent in noncancerous stomach tissues. ER was present in 21 (30.9%) of gastric cancers. The ER positive cases were chiefly poorly differentiated gastric cancers. There were no significant statistical differences in the patient's age or sex, size of primary tumor and the ER positive rates. The results indicate that endocrine therapy might be useful for the ER positive gastric cancer patients.

We have started a multicentre trial to study the possibilities of first-trimester maternal serum screening for fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Maternal blood samples were obtained before 13 weeks of gestation. We present the preliminary results of the first 950 patients on alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Results on cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) in Down's syndrome and normal pregnancies are also presented. We conclude that the results on AFP are promising and that CA 125 might be predictive for fetal Down's syndrome.

PUBDATE: 19910201
Mammographic detection and analysis of microcalcification is a key component in the detection of early breast cancer. A casting configuration or granular morphology has a strong association with malignancy. These are relatively easily recognised, but with the proliferation of mammographic screening, other varieties of calcification are being encountered which may pose diagnostic dilemmas. This case report describes the findings in a patient with Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE) who presented in this way. To our knowledge, this has not previously been documented. Such calcification is not usually visible on conventional radiographs.

Breast cancer is a major public health issue, expected to affect one out of nine women over a lifetime. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support is a current approach to the management of metastatic breast cancer and high-risk primary breast cancer. This review considers the effectiveness of this modality in the treatment of breast cancer in an effort to define its role in overall patient management. Current research directions, including technical advances aimed at reducing toxicity, are discussed. Finally, controversies regarding the role of third-party payers in the investigational process are considered.

Three patients had chronic skull osteomyelitis resulted from post-burn alopecia. One of them had local canceration. After massive resection of bone for osteomyelitis, the area of tissue defect was 15 cm x 20 cm, 15 cm x 16 cm and 11 cm x 15 cm respectively. Anterolateral femoral free flap transfer was used successfully to cover the defects. Since there are dangers of spreading infection in to intracranial and local canceration, chronic osteomyelitis of skull should be treated as early as possible, and the focus should be cleansed thoroughly.

The records of 1383, terminal cancer patients have been reviewed to determine whether opioid requirements vary in a consistent pattern with age and with site of primary cancer. Opioid requirements are shown to decrease with age in a regular pattern and from early adult life. Opioid requirements also differ significantly with site of primary cancer and there appears to be a discernible pattern of opioid need for different cancers. Patients with sexually related cancer have the highest opioid requirements, irrespective of sex. When the sexually determined cancers are excluded, the analgesic needs of men and women are not significantly different (P = 0.191).

PUBDATE: 19930201
Fifty patients with extracapsular prostate cancer without known distant metastases were included in a protocol of surveillance followed by deferred treatment of progression. The median observed followup time was 78 months. The risk of developing distant metastases, if not dying before, was 24% and 37% at 5 and 9 years, respectively. The risk of dying of prostate cancer, if not dying of other diseases before, was 12% and 30% at 5 and 9 years, respectively. Thus, the cancer specific survival was 88% at 5 years and 70% at 9 years.

The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy of operated cervical and endometrial cancer is not clear. In a prospective trial of 571 endometrial cancers stage I, cases with poor prognosticators are treated additionally with external pelvic irradiation (Co 60, 56 Gy) and show nearly the same outcome as cases with good prognosticators and without such an adjuvant therapy. A benefit of adjuvant irradiation of cervical carcinoma stage I/b could only be shown in cases with similar histopathologic characteristics (tumor volume, grading, vessel invasion, lymphnode involvement). In a retrospective study 171 cases of cervical carcinoma were analyzed. With adjuvant external irradiation the relapse free interval was longer and 5-year survival better than without such an adjuvant therapy.

PUBDATE: 19920901
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an extraordinary tool for studying cancer. It is both more sensitive and more rapid than any other detection method, and can be performed without special expertise. It is ideal for the detection of minimal residual disease, particularly in lymphoid malignancies, but also for any cancer with a genetic abnormality that is defined at the molecular level. Other uses, such as diagnosis of cancer based on detection of translocations or point mutations, have an intriguing potential, but remain investigational. At this point, few clinicians would be willing to base a diagnosis, let alone a treatment plan, on a diagnosis based on PCR findings without confirming histology.
