TITLE: Subspecialty training: does it affect the outcome of women treated for a gynecologic malignancy?
PUBDATE: 20010201
A review of available direct and indirect scientific reports strongly suggests that subspecialty training increases the likelihood that the appropriate surgical procedure will be completed in women operated on for gynecologic cancer. It is likely that specialty care lessens the costs associated with diagnosis, treatment and surveillance, and frequently improves survival.

TITLE: Caution on the use of altered fractionation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
PUBDATE: 19990901
Randomized trials and overviews on the value of altered fractionation for head and neck cancers are reviewed. Attention is drawn to the unexpectedly high incidence of temporal lobe necrosis incurred in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Preliminary analyses suggest that incomplete repair is likely to be the major factor, even a 6-h interfraction interval may be inadequate if substantial volumes of nervous tissues are included within the target volume.

PUBDATE: 20010401
The case of a 63-year-old woman with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is reported. Surgical wedge resection revealed an hamartoma. Digital examination of the lung parenchyma showed an unexpected (not previously visualized by thoracic imaging) second nodule that intraoperative frozen examination revealed an adenocarcinoma. The operation was completed with a right upper lobectomy and complete lymphoadenectomy. The authors recommend an early open surgical procedure for any SPNs with risk factors for developing lung cancer.

TITLE: Genetic background of adrenocortical tumor development.
PUBDATE: 20010701
The increasing occurrence of incidentally discovered benign adrenocortical tumors has become a clinical dilemma because of the difficulties in differentiating them from their malignant counterpart. Adrenocortical tumors are associated with familial cancer syndromes such as the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, the Carney complex, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and the McCune-Albright syndrome. Genetic events are known to take place on the chromosomal and gene level in sporadic adrenocortical tumors.

PUBDATE: 20010601
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and outcome of herpes zoster hospitalised children with cancer in Kota Baru. It was a retrospective review from January 1994 to December 1998. The diagnosis of herpes zoster was a clinical one. Herpes zoster was diagnosed in 10 of 188 (5%) children with malignancy. The most common malignancy was leukaemia. Nine children were treated with acyclovir. No child developed visceral dissemination and there were no deaths.

TITLE: Molecular diagnostic tests in the diagnosis and management of thyroid carcinoma.
PUBDATE: 20000401
The application of molecular analysis of gene expression to clinical tissue samples represents one of the most exciting new areas in "translational" thyroid cancer research. Current data suggest that molecular diagnostic assays may improve the sensitivity and accuracy of fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules, fine needle aspiration of metastases, and detection of recurrent disease in peripheral blood samples. It is likely that at least some of these tests will become useful adjuncts in the diagnostic armamentarium of clinical endocrinologists in the future.

PUBDATE: 20000201
With the introduction of BCG, intravesical instillation of immunotherapeutic agents has become a mainstay of therapy in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. Interferon is capable of inducing a non-specific cellular and humoral immune response towards tumor cells. It has shown promise in reducing the recurrence and progression rates of superficial bladder cancer. In contrast to BCG, intravesical interferon is associated with minimal side effects and a very low dropout rate. Current research has focused on the use of interferon in combination with immunotherapeutic and cytotoxic drugs.

PUBDATE: 20000901
There was summarized the experience of treatment of the thyroid gland cancer, invading trachea (larynx) and other neighboring structures of the neck in 42 patients, whose state was estimated as severe one and neoplastic process--as nonoperable. Optimal surgical methods were applied depending on clinical signs of thyroidal carcinoma. In 36 patients the palliative resection of thyroid gland (in 6--with tracheostomy addition) was done, in 6--intervention was restricted by tracheostomy formation. The method of tracheostomy formation in cases of massive spreading of tumor along trachea is adduced.

PUBDATE: 20011001
The oesophagus is divided into four regions: cervical oesophagus, and intrathoracic oesophagus with an upper, mid- and lower thoracic portion. Cancer may occur on each of these regions. Computed tomography of the thorax and superior abdomen and endoscopic ultrasound are necessary for reliable staging. CT simulation allows accurate definition of tumour volume. GTV includes tumour volume and regional lymph nodes. CTV encompasses GTV plus a safety margin and lymph node areas considered to harbour potential microscopic disease. The extent of prophylactic lymph node irradiation depends on the anatomic location of the primary tumour.

TITLE: The age of cancer.
PUBDATE: 20001101
A striking link exists between advanced age and increased incidence of cancer. Here I review how several of the age-related molecular and physiological changes might act in concert to promote cancer, and in particular epithelial carcinogenesis. Experimental data indicate that the aged, cancer-prone phenotype might represent the combined pathogenetic effects of mutation load, epigenetic regulation, telomere dysfunction and altered stromal milieu. Further verification of the role of these effects should in turn lead to the design of effective therapeutics for the treatment and prevention of cancer in the aged.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which for so many years have played major roles in treating inflammation, pain and fever, have had major recent boosts to various therapeutic aspects. These include the impetus generated by the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors celecoxib and rofecoxib, a greater understanding of NSAID non-prostaglandin modes of action and the use of NSAIDs in cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Many of these aspects are covered in articles in this issue of Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy.

There is no consensus on the management of cancer in elderly patients and age per se should not be the sole factor in the decision-making process. We present a case of regional metastatic melanoma in an 83-year-old patient who received either untested or inadequate treatments. The general condition and stage of the disease, rather than chronological age alone, should be the determinant factor.

PUBDATE: 20001101
In responders to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally-advanced esophageal cancer, there was no significant difference in the long-term outcome between patients who underwent esophagectomy and those who did not. Esophagectomy might be unnecessary for patients who achieve a complete response with chemoradiotherapy for an esophageal cancer, in cases when salvage surgery is considered in order to treat any future recurrence.
