TITLE: Cancer of the skin in the next century.
PUBDATE: 19950701
One can confidently predict that the 21st century will be a span of intense activity in unraveling the precise molecular and biochemical events that lead to the various forms of cutaneous cancers. These discoveries will lead to new approaches in our therapeutic armamentarium that currently do not exist. Eventually, the incidence rates and mortality rates from cancers of the skin will markedly decline--the finite goal of all the combined endeavors of the scientific and practicing medical community.

PUBDATE: 19950501
Sleeve lobectomy is the alternative procedure to pneumonectomy. It can be an operation of choice for lung cancer, if technically feasible, and is the ideal procedure for low grade pulmonary malignancies and inflammatory bronchial strictures. Precise radiologic bronchoscopic assessment defines the need and probability for sleeve lobectomy. Close adherence to precise technical principles will achieve excellent clinical results with a low morbidity and mortality.

PUBDATE: 19960901
The purpose of this study was to clarify the indication of prophylactic hepatic arterial-infusion chemotherapy (PHAIC) after hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Sixty-one patients underwent curative hepatectomy, and 27 of them were treated with PHAIC using implantable port. According to clinicopathological factors of primary colorectal cancer and liver metastases, the prognoses were analyzed. In conclusion, PHAIC was not useful for patients who had distant lymph node metastases (paraaortic lymph node) from primary cancer.

Epidemiological studies revealed increased cancer mortality among persons who began working at the Mayak complex during the period 1948-1958. Estimation of cancer risk was carried out for the sites of cancer that showed increased mortality and dependence on dose of external gamma- or internal alpha-irradiation.

The case of an 81-year-old ex-smoker male diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and undergoing treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis who presented a left iliac psoas abscess of torpid evolution is herewith reported. The detection of aerobic, anaerobic, fungal and mycobacterial microorganisms was repeatedly negative and was finally found to be an abscessed metastasis of epidermoid lung cancer. The aspects related to psoas abscess, muscular metastasis of bronchogenic carcinoma and the association between tuberculosis and lung cancer are discussed.

The heat shock proteins purified by the methods described are associated noncovalently with an array of cellular peptides. The use of heat shock protein-peptide complexes for eliciting prophylactic and therapeutic immunity to cancers and infectious diseases is discussed.

PUBDATE: 19951101
In this study, tissue fibronectin levels have been assayed in human prostatic cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal prostatic tissue. The mean tissue fibronectin levels for prostatic cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal groups were found to be 20.22 +/- 8.66 micrograms/mg protein and 11.77 +/- 6.74 micrograms/mg protein, respectively. In the malignant group, the mean fibronectin concentrations, appeared to be significantly higher than normal, (p < 0.05). On the other hand, fibronectin levels of benign prostatic hyperplasia were found to be statistically insignificant in comparison to the normal group (p > 0.05).

This article presents a general review of the major trends in the conceptualization, development, and success of case-control methods for the study of disease causation and prevention. "Recent work on nested case-control, case-cohort, and two-stage case control designs demonstrates the continuing impact of statistical thinking on epidemiology. The influence of R. A. Fisher's work on these developments is mentioned wherever possible. His objections to the drawing of causal conclusions from observational data on cigarette smoking and lung cancer are used to introduce the problems of measurement error and confounding bias."

As a population-based cancer registry, the LTR assesses the magnitude of cancer burden in the state, identifies high-risk groups and areas, monitors time trends, evaluated cancer control programs, and provides resources to the health professionals in the state to address the considerable cancer problem in Louisiana. The registry is also available to provide research collaboration as well as to participate in cancer control and prevention programs.

Although paraneoplastic syndromes are rare, a number of well- defined, neuromuscular paraneoplastic syndromes have been described and their pathophysiology listed. Many different malignancies have been associated with these syndromes, but small-cell lung cancer is the most common. Features shared by these conditions include onset of the underlying malignancy, rapid progression, severe disability, and the potential for some improvement, owing to treatment of the cancer. This article discusses Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, motor neuron disorders, peripheral neuropathies, and disorders of continuous muscle fiber activity, such as Stiffman syndrome.

PUBDATE: 19950801
As a variety of procedures become technically feasible with laparoscopic techniques, it becomes increasingly important to appropriately select the patients who will benefit from the laparoscopic approach. We report the case of a patient with Dukes C2 colon cancer treated by laparoscopic-assisted sigmoid colectomy who subsequently developed an abdominal wall recurrence at a trocar site scar. The case raises some concerns about the use of the laparoscopic technique in the surgical management of colon cancer.

TITLE: Orthopaedic management of extremity and pelvic lesions.
PUBDATE: 19950301
Bony metastases are ubiquitous in patients with advanced cancer, and pathologic fractures may occur within either lytic or blastic foci. Approximately 90% of such fractures that require surgical intervention occur in the femur, humerus, or periacetabular pelvis. Techniques for internal fixation or prosthetic replacement have been designed with the realization that destructive bony lysis often extends well proximal and distal to the actual fracture site, and bony union will not occur after irradiation unless absolutely rigid fixation is achieved. Intramedullary fixation using some type of interlocking device, either proximally or distally, is preferable to extramedullary fixation of fractures. The mean postfracture survival for most patients is approximately 2 years.

TITLE: Interventional procedures of the breast: medicolegal considerations.
PUBDATE: 19950601
Interventional procedures of the breast are increasing in frequency both because of screening programs designed to detect large numbers of nonpalpable lesions and the advent of new technologies. These procedures afford the radiologist new opportunities to participate in patient care. Those radiologists involved in interventional programs need to be familiar with the legal ramifications of such procedures, many of which have not been historically important outside of the treating clinical community. The high frequency of legal exposure associated with breast cancer evaluation should prompt the development of risk management guidelines for the performance of interventional procedures of the breast.

PUBDATE: 19970801
Combined modality therapy of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer has become a widely used means of treatment with several reports of benefit found in randomized phase III trials. Progress in this area may, however, be less substantive than it appears. Phase III trials routinely take the better part of a decade to initiate, complete, and analyze, and the flood of phase II trials are largely unable to be compared because of a widespread failure to systematically use readily available staging techniques.
