TITLE: [Symptoms of depression in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy]
PUBDATE: 19950301
Symptoms of depression and anxiety were measured in a prospective follow-up study of 36 cancer patients before and during chemotherapy by means of the Hamilton rating scales and the Melancholia Scale. These scales proved useful in the examined population. Moderate or severe depression was seen in almost half of the patients before chemotherapy, but this figure decreased during follow-up. The symptomatology resembled that of primary depression, and the brief rating scales for depression seemed suitable for screening purpose. Problems in identifying morbid states of anxiety and depression are discussed.

PUBDATE: 19950701
Primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder accounts for less than 2% of all bladder cancers. There is no report of such a case in a defunctionalized bladder. All reported cases of carcinoma in defunctionalized bladders were either squamous cell, signet ring cell, or transitional cell carcinoma, detected within an average of 5 years after urinary diversion, and all have been associated with chronic inflammation of the bladder. We report on 2 cases of adenocarcinoma that developed in defunctionalized bladders 30 and 8 years after ileal loop diversion for prune belly syndrome and neurogenic bladder, respectively.

TITLE: First two years of a follow-up breast clinic led by a nurse practitioner.
PUBDATE: 19970501
After special training a nurse practitioner ran an independent clinic for follow-up patients with breast disease. All patients referred to a single surgical firm with breast cancer and most patients with benign disease who required follow-up were included. In the first 2 years of the service 382 clinic visits were recorded (median 5/clinic, range 1-12). The nurse practitioner reviewed 236 (62%) patients alone but involved the consultant surgeon in the remainder. No significant lesion was missed in these patients. The nurse-led clinic is popular with patients and, subject to careful supervision, offers an attractive option for follow-up of patients with breast disease.

We report a new case of multiple minute digitate hyperkeratoses after postmastectomy irradiation therapy for mammary cancer. This is the first case of multiple minute digitate hyperkeratoses in an Asian country as well as the third report of the disorder after irradiation. The characteristic eruption, the consistent trigger of irradiation and its occurrence in patients of different racial groups indicate that multiple minute digitate hyperkeratoses are a distinct clinical entity.

TITLE: Erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activity in CMF treated breast cancer patients.
PUBDATE: 19941001
Most of breast cancer patients are treated with CMF, which is a combination of three anticancer agents, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil. Metabolites of CMF induce lipid peroxidation by inactivating the antioxidant enzymes, thereby rendering the system inefficient in management of the free radical attack. Acrolein and phosphoramide mustard are the metabolites of cyclophosphamide which are among the causative agents which reduce the activity of superoxide dismultase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in erythrocytes of CMF treated breast cancer patients.

TITLE: Do mutations at the glycophorin A locus in patients treated for childhood Hodgkin's disease predict secondary leukaemia?
PUBDATE: 19940401
Childhood Hodgkin's disease has a high cure rate but second cancers are common, related to treatment and perhaps genetic predisposition. The glycophorin A (GPA) mutation assay measures the frequency of NO and NN mutant erythrocytes of MN blood-group heterozygous individuals. Mutant frequencies in Hodgkin's disease patients were compared with controls. No significant difference from controls was found pretreatment or in patients treated with radiotherapy only. Patients who received chemotherapy had a significantly increased frequency (total mutation frequency per 10(6) cells: 31 vs 11, p < 0.001), which may be relevant to their known increased risk of secondary leukaemia.

TITLE: A literature review of adolescence and cancer.
PUBDATE: 19970601
Cancer is a relatively rare phenomenon in adolescents and a traumatic experience which arouses feelings of anger, anxiety, fear and sadness. For the adolescent with cancer, there are missed opportunities, not only in daily life but also through lost social events such as dances or football games with friends. Adolescent cancer patients may understand the implications of the diagnosis of cancer but lack the personal resources or life event experience which could equip them to cope and make sense of the many potential problems which may accompany cancer. This paper reviews and explores the literature associated with the adolescent with cancer.

Nonmedical circumcision can no longer be considered routine in a new era of children's rights and more careful scrutiny of the medical necessity of surgical procedures. Although the minor procedure has been practised for centuries, custom and cultural factors may have had greater influence on the incidence of circumcision than the prevalence of problems such as penile cancer and urinary-tract infection that it was thought to prevent.

PUBDATE: 19970401
Genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics are likely to play an expanded role in the provision of family planning services. A recent survey of GUM clinics in the UK indicated that 71.4% provided emergency contraception and 48.1% provided routine contraception services. To facilitate the ability of GUM practitioners to provide contraceptive counseling and supplies to both men and women, this article reviews the current state of emergency contraception, combined oral contraceptives (OCs), modern IUDs, the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, female condoms, and the personalized computerized contraceptive system Persona. Also reviewed are current issues regarding the possible impact of combined OCs on an increased risk of venous thromboembolism and breast cancer.

Authors reported on transplantation glomerulopathy (TGP), occurred in a patient's cadaver kidney allograft, as well as on orchitis, lymphogranulomatosis (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and lip cancer detected thereafter in the same patient. While TGP was definitely be verified morphologically, all other observed diseases are commonly and typically met with membranous glomerulopathy (MGP), which is a separate entity. Similar case has not yet been reported in the literature. Since in majority of the cases the MGP is a paraneoplastic phenomenon, and the TGP is a part of chronic rejection in kidney allografts the differential diagnosis may have therapeutic consequences.

TITLE: [Sonographic diagnosis of prostatic cancer]
PUBDATE: 19940301
In 75-80% of all clinically significant prostate cancer, the peripheral zone appears to be hypoechoic on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). However, examination by TRUS alone in a screening program is not recommended due to its low sensitivity. The combination of prostate-specific antigen, digital rectal examination, and TRUS increases the detection rate of prostate cancer. In prostate cancer arising from the transition zone, TRUS findings are often nonspecific. Even prostate biopsies might be negative due to the location of this tumor. Anterior biopsies of the transition zone will identify these prostate cancers. Color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate has little additional value over TRUS alone in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

PUBDATE: 19960701
The study of genes at the heat of tumorigenesis has helped unveil an elaborate biochemical circuitry that governs the proliferation and differentiation of cells. Genomic imprinting is rapidly being recognized as a fundamental process in tumor biology. Aberrant relaxation of imprinted genes have been detected in a wide variety of cancers, of both embryonal and nonembryonal origin. However, despite a vast array of experimental observation, both the purpose and pathogenic mechanism of relaxation of imprinting remain an enigma. Hypotheses are examined in this regard along with speculation for future research.

A major technological revolution is on the horizon that promises cures for inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, leukocyte-adhesion deficiency, and Gaucher's disease. This revolutionary technology also promises effective treatments for acquired diseases such as cancer and AIDS. The technique is gene therapy and it has already been used in humans. Some applications raise ethical considerations that not only affect the individual who is treated but have implications for future generations as well.
