TITLE: VP-16 in the treatment of malignant lymphomas: a report from the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK).
PUBDATE: 19850301
In a pilot study, researchers at The Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) treated advanced lymphoma patients with a combination of DDP/VP-16/prednisone. Overall response rate was 34%. Currently, the new platinum derivatives are being studied. Meanwhile, various pilot studies are being conducted in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients to evaluate the combination, VP-16/bleomycin/procarbazine/ARA-C. Preliminary results are encouraging. It is hoped that this will be an effective salvage regimen for NHL patients and also for use in an alternating regimen along with a well-established first-line treatment.

TITLE: Blood loss with use of the Shaw scalpel for the treatment of oral cancer.
PUBDATE: 19850801
The Shaw scalpel was used in seven radical operations for oral cancer. The amount of bleeding and postoperative exudate and the occurrence of postoperative complications were compared with that from 12 operations performed with the conventional steel scalpel. The blood loss during the radical neck dissection performed with the Shaw scalpel was 39% of the control value, and no blood transfusions were necessary. There was no increase in the amount of postoperative exudate in the Shaw scalpel group compared with the control group. Skin incision with the Shaw scalpel was accompanied by superficial wound dehiscences in three patients, which healed without any treatment.

This paper describes a case of cancer of the uterine cervix (clinical stage IB) in which signs of brain metastases developed within 1 week of diagnosis. Common sites of distant metastases in patients with carcinoma of the cervix are the liver and lung parenchyma. However, these organs were free of disease and only the brain, an extremely rare site, was involved.

TITLE: Blood group as a prognostic indicator in breast cancer.
PUBDATE: 19850301
A retrospective analysis of 1001 patients with invasive breast cancer showed a difference in survival between patients with different blood groups. Analysis of time from operation to local recurrence and to general recurrence reinforced this finding. The difference between blood groups became increasingly significant after accepted prognostic factors were allowed for. Patients at particularly high risk of early death or general recurrence were those with blood groups B and AB, those with group AB having a greater relative local recurrence rate.

PUBDATE: 19830501
In women lung cancer was found to have a latent development much more often than in men. An analysis of the duration of the period from the appearance of clinical symptoms of lung cancer up to the medical consultation has shown that duration of the medical history in women was longer than that in men. An earlier admittance to the hospital of men with lung cancer can be explained by an earlier appearance of clinical symptoms making the patient seek medical advice.

Neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, ampulla, colon, and rectum have been treated with endoscopic laser therapy. For the most part, the therapy has been palliative, although curative treatment has sometimes been achieved. Considerations involved in management of cancers of the GI tract by the laser are discussed and future options envisioned.

TITLE: [Tissue polypeptide antigen in gynecological cancer]
PUBDATE: 19850101
Serum tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA), CEA and IAP were measured simultaneously in cervical cancer, corpus cancer and ovarian cancer. TPA levels were increased (more than 110 U/1) in 39% (32/82) of the cervical cancer and in 46% (6/12) of the corpus cancer patients, respectively. In ovarian cancer, TPA levels were elevated (146 U/1 or higher) in 64% (13/22). The positive rate of CEA was somewhat lower than that of TPA and LAP levels were as high as TPA. Moreover, TPA levels were correlated in clinical course. In immunohistochemical examination, TPA was present in cancer cells and absent in normal tissue.

PUBDATE: 19820801
This paper reports the results of the PCS Outcome Surveys for radiation therapy treatment in six disease sites: cervix, Hodgkin's disease, seminoma of the testis, anterior two-thirds of tongue and floor of mouth, larynx and prostate. The survey reflects data obtained for patients treated in 1973. Results for early stages of disease are generally favorable in cancer of the cervix, prostate, testis, larynx and Hodgkin's disease. Control of disease in anterior two-thirds of tongue and floor of mouth was less favorable, but data suggest that more aggressive radiation therapy may contribute to better outcome for this site.

TITLE: Risk of local urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
PUBDATE: 19840201
Radical cystectomy and urinary diversion were performed on 349 patients with transitional cell cancer of the bladder. Followup for 4 to 13 years revealed that 91 and 83 per cent of the patients were free of urethral recurrence 5 and 10 years after cystectomy, respectively. Statistical elimination of urethral recurrences did not improve the over-all survival rate significantly. It appears that supplementation of cystectomy with simultaneous urethrectomy may not be justified if the urethra is not involved by the cancer.

PUBDATE: 19820601
Survival rates for cancer patients derived from population-based data are a fundamental means of monitoring the effectiveness of treatment for the community at large. We used South Australian Cancer Registry data to study survival by cancer site from date of diagnosis in 1977-79 to August 1980. One-year and two-year cumulative percentage survival rates for all types of invasive cancer were 64% (+/- 0.5%) and 54% (+/- 0.5%) respectively. We anticipate that these findings will provide a yardstick for intra-hospital survival analyses.

TITLE: Cancer mortality and fluoridation of water supplies in 35 US cities.
PUBDATE: 19831201
The possibility of a cancer risk associated with fluoridation of public water supplies is re-examined using mortality data for 35 US cities, 20 with fluoridated water supplies and 15 with non-fluoridated water. Crude cancer death rates, and mortality ratios standardized for age, sex, and ethnic group are examined, using four alternative sets of standard rates and three different combinations of pericensal years' deaths. Changes in cancer mortality before and after fluoridation in the fluoridated cities are compared with changes in the non-fluoridated cities over the same time period. In none of the analyses have differences in mortality trends been found that could not be due to chance alone. Thus, these results do not support the suggestion of an association between fluoridation of water supplies and cancer mortality.

TITLE: [Kidney function during radiosensitization with metronidazole]
PUBDATE: 19840801
Renal function was studied in patients with laryngeal cancer during radiation therapy performed under the conditions of mean fractionation in the presence of metronidazole radiosensitization up to the summary focal dose of 20 Gy. As compared to the findings before treatment an increase in the level of residual nitrogen, urea, uric acid and a decreased amount of creatinine in the plasma were noted. Decreased clearance of the urea, elevated Ambard's urosecretory constant were observed. The nature of these shifts was preserved even after the termination of subsequent radiation therapy up to the summary focal dose of 32 Gy without using the radiosensitogen. There is a possibility of a direct toxic effect of metronidazole on the renal tissue regardless of the state of oxygenation.

Changes characteristic of bleomycin lung were seen in 15 out of 18 patients whose lungs were examined by computed tomography following standard chemotherapy for testicular cancers. These changes affected mainly the posterior aspects of the lungs and were predominantly subpleural in nature. The total dose of bleomycin given did not appear to correlate with the grade of bleomycin damage. Amongst six patients with adequate follow-up studies there has been improvement in the CT appearance of three.

Adriamycin is known to be effective in the treatment of breast cancer. Serial radionuclide determinations of the left ejection fraction can provide advanced warning of adriamycin cardiotoxicity, prior to clinical signs of the left ventricular dysfunction. Patients at high risk of congestive heart failure can be detected. Depending on the results of the second course of chemotherapy, guidelines and criteria can be laid down to predict the appropriate time for drug discontinuation.
