Although the concept of outpatient care is not a new one, the growth in ambulatory facilities has revolutionized medical care in the United States. The growth in ambulatory surgery centers, imaging centers, and cancer centers in Florida is explored in detail. With the many changes forthcoming in health care, ambulatory care will play an increasing role in delivering good health care at a reasonable cost.

PUBDATE: 19951001
The comorbidity risks associated with advanced breast cancer and systemic disease have been outlined under three broad categories: the local or regional consequences of advanced local breast cancer and its management, systemic sequelae of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and systemic sequelae of metastatic breast disease. Awareness of the potential risks, early detection, and active intervention may diminish the adverse consequences of comorbidities in breast cancer and improve the patient's quality of life.

Management and survival in colorectal cancer are dictated by the extent of the disease at the initial diagnosis. Technological advances over the past 25 years have improved the ability to accurately preoperatively stage these lesions and detect recurrence. This article reviews the focus on the utility of computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, endoscopic ultrasound, and newer imaging methods including PET scan and monoclonal antibodies in the management of colorectal carcinoma.

TITLE: Src and the control of cell division.
PUBDATE: 19960101
The finely tuned mechanisms that control cell cycle progression go awry in cancer, pointing to proto-oncogene products as important players in cell-cycle regulation. One such proto-oncoprotein, c-Src, has previously been directly implicated, based on its requirement for growth factor-stimulated DNA synthesis. Roche et al. have now shown that c-Src or its close relatives are also required for cell division to occur. The demonstration of essential functions for the Src family at multiple points in the cell cycle raises important questions about the normal and transforming activities of these and other proto-oncoproteins.

PUBDATE: 19951101
Blood component therapy may be required for a variety of pathologic reasons in the cancer patient. The tumor itself not only affects various cell lines, but treatment with chemotherapeutic agents can induce cytopenias. In addition, chronic and acute hemorrhage can be caused by tumor erosion and rupture or by paraneoplastic coagulopathies. Component replacement will depend on the underlying hematologic deficiencies and should be performed in conjunction with treating the cause of the deficiency.

Cowden syndrome, or the multiple hamartoma syndrome, is a familial cancer syndrome with involvement of various organ systems. Inheritance is autosomal dominant with variable expression. Progressive macrocephaly, scrotal tongue, and mild to moderate mental retardation are important signs indicating the syndrome in young children. Other mucocutaneous symptoms, for example, trichilemmomas in the nasolabial folds and palmar and plantar hyperkeratotic pits, usually become evident later in childhood. They are often accompanied by the appearance of subcutaneous lipomas and cutaneous haemangiomas.

PUBDATE: 19951001
The basic principle of radiotherapy for cancer patients is that it has the possibility of a good result (curability), tolerable and promises a comfortable life thereafter. Radiotherapy is the important tool for cancer by conserving the organ and function and by helping improve the quality of life. Radiotherapy must be planed on the basis of considering the therapeutic ratio with a 3-dimensional treatment planning technique which is an important role in radiotherapy because they are essential in target localization. Radiotherapy is leading the way in cancer treatment for today and tomorrow.

PUBDATE: 19960701
Truth-telling to cancer patients is controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate oncologists', radiotherapists', and palliative care specialists' attitudes and truth-telling practices in Greece. A postal survey of a representative sample of 300 oncologists, radiotherapists, and palliative care specialists was made in February 1993. A total of 228 doctors completed and returned the questionnaires. It appears that withholding the truth from cancer patients remains very common in Greece.

This article focuses on the common precancers and skin cancers in the older patient. The hazards of ultraviolet radiation are explained briefly in relation to photoaging and the development of skin cancer. The etiology, clinical appearance, histopathologic diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for each type of cancer are reviewed thoroughly. It is hoped that early recognition and treatment by geriatric physicians will have a positive impact on the reduction of the morbidity and mortality associated with these cancers in the elderly.

The result of 33 laparoscopic obturator lymph node dissections in patients with locally confined prostatic cancer are presented and compared with open surgery dissections. The hospitalization time was 3 days with the laparoscopic technique, a reduction by 50% compared with open surgery. The operation time was increased from 60 to 100 minutes. No serious complications were encountered. The postoperative recovery was fast and uneventful. The number of glands dissected out was slightly lower than that at open surgery. Obturator lymph node metastases were found in 15% of the patients in the laparoscopic series.

PUBDATE: 19961101
To determine whether p16, a novel antioncogene, is altered in human bladder cancer and urogenital carcinoma cell lines, we examined a series of 10 primary bladder cancer and 4 urogenital carcinoma cell lines (BIU-87, EJ, GRC and PC-3M) by southern blot. Two cases of 10 primary bladder cancer and EJ, BIU-87 PC-3M had homozygous deletion of p16, and 2 cases of 10 primary bladder cancer had loss of heterozygous. Loss of p16 may provide an additional growth advantage and carcinogenesis.

In Southern blot analysis using Mycoplasma 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) as a probe, positive signals were detected in DNA samples from surgical specimens of gastric cancers. The DNA that hybridized to Mycoplasma 16S rDNA was eluted from the gel, cloned and sequenced. The cloned sequence was identical to 16S rDNA of Streptococcus anginosus. In Southern blot analysis with the S. anginosus 16S rDNA fragment as a new probe, positive signals were detected in 9 (20%) out of 43 cases of gastric cancer.

PUBDATE: 19950801
Serum prostate-specific antigen testing and systematic ultrasound-guided biopsy has improved our ability to diagnose low-stage, nonpalpable prostate cancer. With improvement of diagnostic sensitivity, the risk of finding clinically insignificant or "latent" prostate cancer has likewise increased. The potential morbidity and expense of overdiagnosing and treating latent prostate cancer has necessitated the search for better methods of determining tumor extent and significance. This information may then be used for development of individual treatment strategies. Serum prostate-specific antigen level, prostate-specific antigen density, and characterization of biopsy tissue appear to be reasonably accurate methods of estimating tumor extent.

The need for a large variety of psychosocial interventions is enhanced as increasing numbers of patients with cancer have longer survival. This article reviews the four interventions used most commonly: (1) education, (2) behavioral training, (3) individual psychotherapy, and (4) group interventions. It examines the outcomes of each type of intervention. This comprehensive review of the intervention literature reveals the availability of a wide range of options for patients with cancer and their potential psychological and physical health benefits.

TITLE: Symptom management: loss of concentration.
PUBDATE: 19951101
OBJECTIVE: To review the loss of the ability to concentrate in individuals with cancer, the risk factors, and nursing approaches to support and improve attentional functioning. DATA SOURCES: Published articles and books pertaining to concentration, central nervous system toxicity, attentional fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors related to cancer, its treatment, and the demands of a life-threatening illness increase the risk for loss of concentration and attentional fatigue. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses can assess potential loss of concentration by observation and objective and subjective measures. Attention can be conserved by reducing environmental demands and applying attention-restoring strategies.
