TITLE: Gastric cancer diagnosed by biopsy of the uterine cervix.
PUBDATE: 19870101
Biopsy of the uterine cervix from a 46-year-old woman who suffered from epigastric pain and weight loss showed metastatic adenocarcinoma. The primary site of the tumor was the stomach. At laparotomy, disseminated adenocarcinoma on the peritoneum and Krukenberg's tumor in the right ovary were found. A palliative partial gastrectomy, resection of the right ovary, and postoperative chemotherapy were performed. The possible mechanism of metastasis of extragenital cancer to the uterus is discussed.

TITLE: Staging lymphadenectomy should be an antecedent to treatment in localized prostatic carcinoma.
PUBDATE: 19850201
Our own data, as well as those of many other workers, suggest that clinicians cannot depend on primary lesion Gleason scoring alone to predict the incidence of positive nodes in patients with prostatic cancer. We continue to find node involvement in 20 per cent or more of patients with Gleason 2 through 4 primary lesions. Furthermore, we continue to find that a large number (nearly 40%) of patients with Gleason 8 through 10 primary tumors do not have lymph node spread. Because of the significance of node status on patient prognosis and its potential impact on treatment decisions, we continue to advocate surgical lymph node staging in patients with localized prostate cancer.

TITLE: Pleural effusion in lung cancer.
PUBDATE: 19820501
Pleural effusions are common in the setting of lung cancer. The clinician must establish whether the effusion is malignant, ruling out the possibility of curative surgery; paramalignant, which may or may not rule out surgery; or unassociated with the cancer. A pleural effusion associated with lung cancer is an ominous finding, but a small percentage of patients in this setting will be candidates for curative surgery. When a malignant pleural effusion is diagnosed by cytology or histology, the clinician must decide on the most appropriate form of palliative therapy for the symptomatic patient. In the symptomatic patient with a reasonable life expectancy, chest tube drainage with the instillation of tetracycline hydrochloride appears to be the most effective and least morbid form of palliative therapy.

TITLE: Normal stomach wall and gastric cancer: evaluation with high-resolution operative US.
PUBDATE: 19860401
Operative ultrasound examinations were performed using a 7.5-MHz transducer during nine operations for advanced gastric cancers and during six for early cancers. Normal stomach wall showed five layers that corresponded to histologic structures. Fourteen of 15 tumors, including nonpalpable early cancers, were localized with ultrasonography. In addition, both depth of penetration and lateral wall extension of the gastric cancers were precisely determined with this technique. Our preliminary results indicate that high-resolution operative ultrasonography may become a diagnostic aid during gastric cancer operations.

Recommendations for cancer detection in the elderly are based on even less evidence of efficacy than are recommendations for the general adult population. In this article, we present some quantitative measures of test performance--operating characteristics, effectiveness and cost effectiveness/cost benefit--and show examples of how to use these measures to adjust diagnostic strategies for factors especially relevant to the elderly.

PUBDATE: 19851201
Forty-five percutaneous needle biopsies of pancreatic masses were performed in 41 patients in whom there was clinical or radiological concern for the diagnosis of cancer. Computed tomography (CT) was the imaging technique used in 41 of the 45 biopsies. An overall sensitivity of 85%, specificity of 100%, and accuracy rate of 88% were achieved, with serious complications in three of the 45 attempts (6.7%). These figures show that percutaneous pancreatic biopsies have the potential for greater accuracy than has been previously reported and are relatively safe when compared with surgery.

The case records of patients presenting with metastases from an unknown primary cancer (MUP) have been reviewed. Important prognostic variables were performance status and the presence of disease in more than one system. Patients of poor performance status and disease in multiple organs had a median survival of one month and 87% were dead within three months. Those patients of good performance status and disease apparent in only one organ had a median survival of seven months. Patients with carcinoma confined to lymph nodes in the high cervical region who received treatment with radiotherapy had 3- and 5-year survival rates of 26% and 17% respectively.

PUBDATE: 19870901
Total bladder replacement with tubular sigmoid colon and detubularized ileocecal bowel segments was performed on 17 patients after cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer. There were few complications and patient acceptance was excellent. Daytime continence was achieved in most patients but voiding patterns were superior with detubularized segments. However, enuresis was common with both segment types. Total urinary continence (day and nighttime continence) was achieved in 7 patients with an artificial urinary sphincter that was activated only at night. Total bladder replacement is an acceptable form of urinary diversion after cystoprostatectomy in appropriate patients.

TITLE: Relationships between histology, monoclonal antibody reactivity, and prognosis in breast cancer.
PUBDATE: 19871101
Infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast is histologically heterogeneous and may be subdivided into three main types (A, B, and C) which correlate with the likelihood of long-term survival. Examples of each type were tested against three monoclonal antibodies (H59, H71, and H72) prepared against the breast cancer cell line ZR-75-1. The reaction patterns of type B tumors were significantly different from those of types A and C with antibodies H59 and H71, but not with H72. Thus, the reactivity to these monoclonal antibodies, and presumably the antigen composition of the tumor cells, correlates with the histologic appearances and probability of long-term survival.

PUBDATE: 19850501
A phase II study of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP, 80 mg/m2, every 3 weeks) was performed in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The overall response rate to CDDP was 14% (6/42). In patients without prior chemotherapy, the response rate was 20% (2/10), and in patients with prior chemotherapy, the response rate was 13% (4/31). The major side effect was gastrointestinal toxicity. It was concluded that CDDP at a dose of 80 mg/m2 every 3 weeks is effective against NSCLC.

TITLE: Age of menopause in black women in South Africa.
PUBDATE: 19840801
Among South African black women in rural areas, breast cancer is rare and remains very uncommon among urban dwellers in Soweto, Johannesburg. Since time of menopause is an influencing factor in breast cancer in white women, mean times were determined in series of 1850 and 1255 black women in rural and urban areas, respectively. Using probit analysis, respective means were 49.5 (SD 4.7) years, and 48.9 (SD 4.2) years. Values thus differ little from those reported for white women. Obviously case control studies are needed to learn of the bearing of menopausal age on breast cancer proneness in this very-low-risk population.

Diagnostic delay was measured in 455 consecutive patients who had large bowel cancer and it was found to be less pronounced than in a previous study in the same hospitals. However overall corrected five year survival remained the same. The duration of symptoms was not correlated with the stage of the disease, nor with five year survival. The pattern of disease resembled other Western series, with an overall corrected five year survival rate of 33.2%. Prognosis was significantly better in women and worse in patients with an elevated ESR on presentation. Intestinal obstruction due to carcinoma did not adversely affect prognosis.

TITLE: Communicate with cancer patients: 2. Handling uncertainty, collusion, and denial.
PUBDATE: 19881001
Sample dialogues are presented to illustrate for physicians how to acknowledge their uncertainty concerning the prognosis of terminal cancer patients to family members, how to isolate concerns of the patient, and how to negotiate honest communication between patient and family members who have withheld from each other the truth of the patient's diagnosis. Patients' denial of the seriousness of their illnesses should not be challenged unless it creates significant problems for the patient or relative. Denial, when challenged, must be done gently by pointing out inconsistencies so that defences are not disrupted and yet awareness can be explored.
