RESUMEN

An 89-year-old woman with complete blindness presented with a right lower abdominal tumor and weight loss. The CT scan showed a huge mass approximately 9 cm in diameter in the ileocecum, invading the right urinary tract and right iliac artery and vein. Findings of the TCS biopsy led to the suspicion of ileocecal carcinoid. Another punch biopsy specimen acquired under general anesthesia indicated mucinous cell carcinoma. When she suffered from right leg pain approximately 3 months later, we provided radiation therapy(50 Gy)because of intolerance to UFT. Consequently, pain disappeared, and the tumor size decreased significantly. We administered TS-1 but discontinued it because of intolerance. Further, 2.8 years after the first medical examination, the tumor recurred, and she developed ileus. We performed ileocolectomy, and pathological findings indicated that the adenocarcinoma in the appendix had progressed from goblet cell carcinoid(sig, si[right ovary], ly1b, v1a, n0). Four years after the first medical examination, CEA had elevated rapidly, and lung metastases were found. She died approximately 4.2 years after the first medical examination. The last measured CEA level had been 596.7 ng/mL. Starting from the lowest level at the first examination, the CEA level had slowly elevated until before the operation and rapidly elevated postoperatively. Immunopathological findings showed that the operated specimen stained diffusely for CEA, without any mucinous component. We suspected that radiation therapy modified goblet cell carcinoid to adenocarcinoma.

RESUMEN

We report an 86-year-old patient successfully treated by multimodality treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer with synchronous multiple liver metastases and liver dysfunction. Systemic chemotherapy(SC)(gemcitabine[GEM]1 g and 5-FU 1 g biweekly)was initiated. Two weeks after, the radiation therapy(55 Gy/25 days)was added. Three weeks after, the short period's high dose hepatic artery infusion(SPHDHAI)(5-FU[1 g]×3 days: 1 day rest: 5-FU[1 g]×3 days)was started. By these treatments, liver dysfunction was completely improved and abdominal pain was disappeared. After 2 times of weekly high dose hepatic artery infusion(WHDHAI)(5-FU 1,500mg), the mixed chemotherapy(MC)(GEM 800 mg[systemic] and 5-FU 1,500 mg hepatic artery infusion:[HAI]biweekly)were started. She could live without admission for about 1 year. About 13 months after lung metastases was appeared and she died about 19 months after first chemotherapy. Our multimodality treatment(systemic and HAI therapy and radiation)was effective for keeping patient quality of life and for improving the survival even if the patient was a very old age and showed liver dysfunction.

RESUMEN

A 63-year-old man with dysphagia visited our hospital in February 2007. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and computed tomography revealed that he suffered from advanced esophageal cancer with intramural metastasis at clinical stage III (T3N1). The patient underwent induction chemotherapy because he had great difficulty deciding which treatment would be more beneficial for him use dash surgery or chemoradiation. The reason for his in decision was that esophageal cancer with intramural metastasis is known to have a poor prognosis after surgery, and although chemoradiation is the more attractive therapy that avoids invasive surgery, it is very difficult to predict a response. Currently, he has survived for more than 3 years with no recurrence, after chemoradiation that followed a good response to induction chemotherapy. This result suggested that induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation can be one of the useful strategies for patients who have esophageal cancer with a negative prognosis factor for surgery, such as intramural metastasis.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the predisposing factors and clinical characteristics of pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIF) in postmenopausal women with pelvic irradiation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total 335 postmenopausal patients with cervical cancer of the intact uterus treated with radiation therapy between 1983 and 1998 were reviewed. Total external dose was delivered between 45 and 50.4 Gy with parallel opposed anteroposterior portals. Total brachytherapy dose at point A was delivered between 10 and 36 Gy. PIF were diagnosed by bone scintigraphy and confirmed by computed tomography. The cumulative incidence of symptomatic PIF was estimated by actuarial methods. Potential risk factors (age, weight, type II diabetes, delivery, menopause, total external dose, total brachytherapy dose) were assessed. RESULTS: Fifty-seven (17.0%) of 335 patients were diagnosed as having PIF. Forty-seven patients were symptomatic and ten were asymptomatic. Parameters carrying a significant association with PIF were body weight 49 kg or below (P=0.044) in stepwise logistic regression analysis. The cumulative incidence of symptomatic PIF at 5 years was 17.9% calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. A body weight of 49 kg or below and more than three deliveries were identified as having a significant effect on symptomatic PIF in univariate analysis (P=0.021, P=0.003, log-rank test) and Cox life table regression analysis (P=0.038, P=0.013). Five patients required narcotic agents and eight patients required hospital admission. CONCLUSIONS: We should consider reducing the dose contribution to the sacrum and sacroilac joints, without underdosing the tumor, especially in postmenopausal women with many deliveries or low body weight.
