摘要:

Four types of cancer of the thyroid gland occur, each different in biological behaviour and in associated factors affecting prognosis. Knowledge of these differences makes It possible to determine approriate treatment for each case and reduces the chance of undertreatment or overtreatment. Fortunately, most cancers of the thyroid gland are well differentiated and can be treated by conservative surgical measures; the results are low mortality, minimal morbidity, and good prognosis.

摘要:

Until chemotherapy is proved more effective in the initial management of squamous cell cancer of the mouth and throat, radiation and surgery will remain the principal treatment modalities. This paper documents a treatment selection process which is used in the Head and Neck Clinic of the Peter MacCallum Hospital. Anatomical resectability, potential of control by radiation, disabilty and deformity produced by surgery, presence of metastases, psychological factors, and concurrent disease, as well as tumour behaviour, are all factors which influence the choice of radiation or surgery, alone, or In combination, in the treatment of each patient.

摘要:

The five year results of excision of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx in 172 patients selected for surgical treatment are reported. The overall survival rate was 48.8%, with 39.5% of patients dying with persistent or recurrent disease. An unexpectedly high survival rate of 42.2% was achieved in 45 patients with residual or recurrent tumour resected after failed initial radiation therapy.

摘要:

Two hundred and twenty‐nine patients with carcinoma of the larynx were treated at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, during the years 1958 to 1973. A crude cumulative five‐year survival of 76% in Stage I and 62% In Stage II was obtained using radiotherapy as the first treatment in these stages, reserving surgery, consisting of laryngectomy, for radiotherapy failures. A 63%, five‐year survival was achieved in Stage III by using laryngectomy as the first definitive trea

摘要:

Fifteen patients with cancer involving the temporal bone have been considered for radical surgical treatment by partial resection of the temporal bone during the past 12 years. All but one had undergone previous treatment by local surgery and/or irradiation. Two patients proved to be inoperable at surgical exploration. Three types of partial resection of the temporal bone and described to encompass disease involving the concha, the mastoid and squamous areas of the temporal bone, the ear canal, the middle ear, and the parotid gland. Closure of the surgical defect has been achieved in five cases using the residual pinna, in four cases with scalp flaps, and in five cases with a deltopectoral flap. Complications have been surprisingly few, with only one postoperative death. In one case communicating hydrocephalus persisted until death from residual disease many months later. Minor repair failure occurred in two patients. No attempt has been made to restore facial nerve function by grafting procedures. Long‐term survival has been disappointing; however, it is considered that such radical surgery remains justified in selected cases for relief of the pain and disfigurement caused by chronic ulcerating neoplastic diseas

摘要:

A uniform method of recording data on head and neck cancer patients is presented. This has been shown to work well in the clinical field. The records are always completely up to date and immediately available at any time for data analysis.
