摘要:

AbstractAdenocarcinoma of the rete testis is very rare. It is highly malignant with potential of early metastasis. We are reporting such a case occurring in a 34‐year‐old man who remains tumor‐free 7 years after orchiectomy. Another 20 reported cases of such a tumor from the English literature are rev

摘要:

AbstractThe presence or absence of blood‐group antigens have been used to predict the clinical course of patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Antigen loss has been associated with neoplastic change. The red‐cell adherence test has been the most widely accepted method of antigen determination, but this technique has inherent weaknesses. Recently, the immunoperoxidase assay has been used to detect antigens on tumor cells. We compared 30 patients using the red‐cell adherence and immunoperoxidase methods on adjacent micro to me cut sections. The red‐cell adherence and immunoperoxidase methods performed similarly (86 %) when assessing antigen presence or absence. However, the immunoperoxidase method was clearly superior in: 1) specificity for antigens on tumor cells and normal internal controls; 2) localization of antigen; 3) demonstration of cellular morphology; 4) increased objectivity of analysis; 5) ease of reproducibility; and 6) cost effect

摘要:

AbstractA retrospective review is presented of 20 evaluable patients who underwent surgical resection or biopsy for limited stage thyroid carcinoma at two institutions between 1963 and 1983. The majority had external radiotherapy to the whole neck and upper mediastinum and the total dose given varied from 3,800 to 6,000 rads. For group I (microscopic residual disease), 81.8% (9/11 patients) local control was observed during a follow‐up period of 2–75 months with adjuvant postoperative irradiation compared to surgery alone, 14.2% (1/7 patients) local control; 75% (9/12 patients) are alive and well. In group II (gross residual disease), local control was 25% (2/8 patients) and the survival was 14 and 60 months, respectively, with external radiotherapy. The beneficial external irradiation effects in terms of local control and survival even in some patients with gross unresectable disease are reiterated from this small series. A literature review summary of external radiotherapy results is also presen

摘要:

AbstractFive case reports of orbital pseudotumor (pseudolymphoma) and primary orbital lymphoma are presented. A review of the literature was conducted in search of differentiating clinic opathologic features suggestive of either condition as well as part of their natural histories. Radiotherapy series reporting beneficial results are summarized.

摘要:

AbstractTen years have now passed since the American Cancer Society/National Cancer Institute sponsored Breast Cancer Detection Demonstration Projects (BCDDP) started to evaluate the use of mammography, physical examination, thermography, and breast self‐examination in screening women for the presence of unsuspected breast cancer. Criteria have been developed to evaluate population screening as an approach to cancer control and breast cancer screening techniques. Combined physical examination and mammography have been particularly successful in detecting early breast cancer. Although the number of screening programs for breast cancer has increased in the past decade, real progress has been surprisingly slow and the issues in breast cancer screening have proved to be subtle and comple

摘要:

AbstractBetween the years 1972 and 1982, 1,880 women were treated for breast cancer at the Tel‐Aviv Medical Center. One thousand two hundred fifteen detailed charts are included in our study. Sixty‐six patients (5.4%) were diagnosed as having bilateral breast cancer. The mean age at first tumor diagnosis was 55.1 years. Bilateral breast cancer appears to be more common in nulligravidas and women who have delivered up to two children. In patients where the first tumor was greater than 4 cm in diameter, there was a higher incidence of a second tumor. A total of 65.2% of all patients who developed a second breast tumor had no axillary lymph node metastasis at the time the first breast tumor was diagnosed. There was no correlation between the histological types of the first and second tumors. The longer the woman survived after the first cancer diagnosis, the greater the likelihood of her developing a second tumor; the longer the interval between the diagnosis of the two cancers, the better the survival r

摘要:

AbstractA consecutive series of 100 patients affected by breast cancer and referred for surgical treatment were studied for the eventual spread of the tumour to the liver (echography, carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA], hepatic enzymes). Hepatic echography was positive in five cases: two also had bone and skin metastases at the time of diagnosis, and one was a case of remastectomy (these three patients died rather quickly of the disease); the remaining two patients are free of the disease 24 months after surgery and thus should be considered false‐positive cases. Hepatic enzymes were not significant. The same was true for CEA except in nine cases with levels>>20 ng/ml (six of these had early local and/or distant metastases). It is concluded that the usefulness of routine hepatic echography before loco‐regional treatment of breast cancer is rather limited. CEA>>20 ng/ml may be useful prognostica
