TITLE: Current practices in the oral management of the patient undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.
PUBDATE: 19990101
Abstract The oral complications associated with cancer chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation may be prevented or ameliorated by aggressive dental and oral hygiene interventions. Pretherapy dental evaluation and medically necessary oral care can eliminate potential sites of infection and trauma. A multidisciplinary approach, systematic oral assessment and consistent oral hygiene measures are critical and may be the most important factors in the prevention of significant complications.

TITLE: [The prevalence of idiopathic proctocolitis]
PUBDATE: 19910301
During screening of colorectal cancer by the Haemoccult test (Röhm Pharma Co.) the authors investigated the incidence of idiopathic proctocolitis in the population of the Bruntál district. The group of tested subjects comprises 16.642 of the population aged 45 to 86 years. After examination of 380 positive subjects (2.28%) twelve cases of idiopathic proctocolitis were detected. Of these twelve seven were identified previously and a new diagnosis was made in five subjects. At twelve cases were identified from a population of 16.642, the assumed prevalence in 1989 in the given age group is 72/100.000. This suggests considerable underestimation of the prevalence of idiopathic proctocolitis in current epidemiological surveys.

PUBDATE: 20010301
Women who are survivors of malignancy may achieve pregnancy through oocyte donation. The largest obstacle to successful reproduction in cancer patients relates to iatrogenic damage to the primary reproductive organs associated with their primary oncology treatment. Reactive damage from surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy may render these organs nonfunctional and irreparable. In cases where the ovary is primarily affected, oocyte donation provides a logical alternative for childbearing.

TITLE: [Cellular telephones and their relay stations: a health risk?]
PUBDATE: 19991101
Portable cellular phones and their relay stations emit ultra-high frequency waves (microwaves) with amplitude modulation and extremely low frequency pulsation. The user is absorbed by the head and reaches the nervous structures leading to increased brain temperature. The general population is exposed to a distant field with an electromagnetic intensity which depends on the distance from the emitting antennas, the presence of "passive re-emitters", and the number of communications processed by the relay station. Among the main biological effects, "radio-frequency disease", electroencephalogram disturbances, and blood pressure disorders as well as risk of cancer have been observed in humans and animals.

The medical hazards of obesity are discussed. Risks include insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Obesity is also associated with gallbladder disease and some forms of cancer as well as sleep apnea, chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia, and degenerative joint disease. Obesity is an independent risk factor for death from coronary heart disease. A central distribution of body fat enhances the risk for most of these conditions.

PUBDATE: 20001201
Selective sentinel lymphadenectomy is a standard staging procedure for patients with melanoma and is rapidly evolving into a standard procedure for breast cancer. A well-trained, multidisciplinary team is essential for the success of such a procedure. Clinical trials are under way to determine the clinical significance of sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma and breast cancer. The techniques of harvesting are being developed in other solid cancers, such as gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancer. Cellular and molecular techniques are being used to study the mechanism of micrometastasis.

Data on postmastectomy breast reconstructive surgery were examined for 52,357 female breast cancers that were treated with mastectomy and diagnosed in geographic areas covered by the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The proportion of cancers that involved reconstruction varied in these geographic areas in each age group (under age 70 years) by a factor of about four or five, even after adjustment for stage at diagnosis, marital status, and poverty rate of county of residence at diagnosis. Studies are needed to explain the large differences in reconstruction rates by geographic area.

PUBDATE: 19980401
Little is known about the early development of rectal cancer in patients with radiation-induced colitis. We describe two patients with a history of radiation colitis who developed rectal cancer. The macroscopic appearance of these lesions suggested that they arose de novo, but the histologic findings were more consistent with progression along the adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence, a hybrid of de novo lesion and adenoma. Early rectal cancer associated with chronic inflammation should be considered if a nonpolypoid adenomatous lesion is detected in a patient who has received pelvic radiation.

Helicobacter pylori infection is acquired in childhood, plays a causative role in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and is associated with the development of gastric cancer. The present review focuses on recent advances in the scientific knowledge of H pylori infection in children, including clinical sequelae, diagnosis and treatment. In addition, recent insights regarding both bacterial and host factors that mediate human diseases associated with H pylori infection are discussed.

Thirty-eight women with stage I epidermoid carcinoma of the vulva were studied retrospectively in an attempt to define the criteria for conservative therapy in early invasive vulvar cancer. Among the 38 women, 23 met the 6 criteria established for early invasive carcinoma of the vulva. In those 23 women, there were no nodal metastases. Depth of stromal invasion correlated strongly with the degree of tumor differentiation and the presence of carcinoma in situ (CIS). Stromal invasion less than 3 mm and presence of CIS were predictive of no involvement of the lymph nodes or endothelial-like space.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The individual therapeutic approach and prognosis depends on accurate diagnosis and staging. Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) and transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) are the most widely used techniques for this purpose. This article provides a critical overview of indications, diagnostic yield, and limitations of bronchoscopy and TNB in the diagnosis of lung cancer.

TITLE: [Alpha 1-antitrypsin as a tumor marker]
PUBDATE: 19850301
In this work we intended: a) to confirm the correlation between the increase of serum levels of alpha 1-antitrypsin (ATT) and neoplastic disease; b) to verify in what tumoural diseases the increase of ATT has a specific significance. Therefore we have examined 164 patients: 60 represented the control group and 104 were suffering from neoplastic diseases. We have subdivided the nest group according to histological type and tumour location. The result of this work has demonstrated that the increase of ATT is really determined by the existence of neoplastic disease, more than histological type or location of cancer. The AAT represents a diagnostic index of neoplastic diseases, highly sensitive but little specific.

TITLE: Postoperative management of local colorectal cancer: therapy and surveillance.
PUBDATE: 20000701
Adjuvant therapy is widely recommended for stage III colon cancer and stages II and III rectal cancer. Although fluorouracil-based regimens are standard, newer agents either alone or in combination may improve response rates. Although nearly all patients enter a postoperative surveillance program after surgical resection, the clinical effectiveness of such surveillance, which is not standardized, is questionable. Critical review of the use of different components (laboratory, radiographic, and endoscopic) of these programs finds little support for intensive surveillance.
