摘要:

SummaryThe results of sixty‐one cases of hiatus hernia have been presented. All have been treated surgically by a transthoracic approach.One post‐operative death is recorded due to a massive pulmonary embolus.It is considered that repair of hiatus hernia is a very satisfactory operation and is justified by results and very few recurren

摘要:

Summary1. The literature on alveolar soft part sarcoma –a distinct and recently recognized tumour arising in association with skeletal muscle, is reviewed.2. Three new cases are recorded, and their clinical and pathological features are described.3. The differential diagnosis of the tumour is discussed, with especial reference to its separation from secondary carcinoma.4. The evidence for the histogenesis of the tumour is outlined, and it is concluded that it bears no relation to tumours arising in chemoreceptor tissue such as the carotid bod

摘要:

SummaryNeoplasms (of which cancer is one of the most numerous and important examples) comprise a large number of different forms of growth. They are similar in that they are complex variants of the normal cells and thus the factors determining their mode of growth are those which are inherent in the growth of the normal cells, that is to say, they are inherent in life itself. For this reason it is probable that the answer to the cancer question will be bound up in the answer to the fundamental problems of biology.In any case it is not a matter of a single or simple problem to which there is a single or simple answer.Each group differs from the others and in each group there is a considerabe variety of appearance and activity which are the indexes of differences of rates of growths and methods of spread, amongst other features. It is therefore necessary to take each case on its merits; none can be dealt with adequately by any rule of thumb method and, most important of all, none can be assessed on the basis of other less malignant conditions.It is particularly important that the nonneoplastic states which resemble tumours and the least malignant of the neoplasms should not be given undue prominence. The understandable human characteristic remarked upon by Gibbon in his day is still with us but, with the amazing improvements in our knowledge and our armamentarium, we can surely face the issue squarely and appreciate that, though we have travelled a considerable way along the road, we are still a long way from our destination – an understanding of either of those enigmas – cancer or life. Tumours are one manifestation of the phenomena to be observed in the living cell and, from many points of view, our problems become clearer, if apparently more formidable, when we appreciate that the one is bound up in the other and that any explanation of cancer development which does not embody an interpretation of fundamental biological processes, will be incomplete and futile. Trie road ahead is long and arduous and, correspondingly, treatment will advance only gradually and tardily. It is neither wishful thinking nor unfounded claims of suceessful therapy; but the unearthing of information regarding the nature of cancer (and, as just said, of life itself) that will determine future progr

摘要:

Summary1. The current knowledge of endometriosis of the large bowel is reviewed, emphasizing the features assisting the differential diagnosis between this disease and carcinoma.2. Attention is drawn to two ways in which endometriosis might involve the bowel: (a) as part of a generalized pelvic endometriosis when the diagnosis is often straightforward; (b)by producing a disc‐rete intestinal lesion when it is likely to be mistaken for carcinoma and extensive and unnecessary surgery undertaken to cure it.3. This problem of diagnosis of the discrete lesion is illustrated by 5 case histories.4. Endometriosis should be suspected if there is menstrual periodicity of symptoms.5. It is shown that biopsy at operation of all apparent carcinomata of the colon in young women is justified to avoid errors in diagnosis.6. In most patients it is found that pelvic endometriosis is extensive and requires treatment by hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, irrespective of age. When the pelvic organs are intact it is believed an attempt should be made to conserve ovarian function in a young woman and to treat the lesion by resection. In older women one should avoid a dangerous resection and instead produce atrophy of the lesion by inducing an artificial menopaus
