OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of mucinous cystadenocarcinomas (MCACs) of the pancreas.
METHODS
This is a retrospective review of 6 patients who underwent curative resection for MCACs of the pancreas in the
Factors affecting survival of 241 patients with ovarian serous carcinoma diagnosed and/or treated at New York University Medical Center from 1960 through 1980 are analyzed. Characteristics independently correlated with a favorable prognosis include low tumor stage and grade, presenting sign of a
Primary peritoneal papillary serous carcinoma is a rare primary malignancy diffusively involving the peritoneum of abdomen and pelvis. Epithelial ovarian cancers and primary peritoneal cancers arise from the common germinal epithelium which develops from the coelomic epithelium. Due to a common
A late phase II study of CPT-11, a new derivative of camptothecin, in uterine cervical cancer and ovarian cancer was carried out by a cooperative study group at 26 institutions. Out of 144 patients enrolled, total cases were 110, involving 55 uterine cervical cancers and 55 ovarian cancers. In
BACKGROUND
Muncin-hypersecreting intraductal pancreatic neoplasms were first described in 1982 and have been observed in increasing numbers since. They are observed primarily by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and are characterized by an intraductal papillary neoplasm that
Here are reported the therapeutic results of ifosfamide on primary ovarian malignancies in 30 cases which were treated at Kurume University Hospital from September 1978 to December 1980. These cases were advanced or recurrent ones, and histologically, they consisted of serous cystadenocarcinoma in
The efficacy and toxicity of intravenous carboplatin (300 mg/m2) and cycloprosphamide (600 mgs/m2) was evaluated in 44 newly diagnosed patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Cycles were administered at four weekly intervals for a total of 6 cycles, and therapy was provided on an
Eight patients with cystic neoplasms of the pancreas were seen at four Northern California hospitals between the years 1978 and 1986. Three of the tumors were benign and five were malignant. Three females, whose average age was 61 years, had cystadenomas. Three females and two males, whose average
A 36-yr-old woman with metastatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas underwent neurolytic celiac plexus block with 100% ethanol and 0.5% bupivacaine for intractable back pain. Several hours after the procedure she developed severe nausea and vomiting, which persisted for days despite
The efficacy and toxicity of combination intravenous carboplatin (300 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) were evaluated in 70 newly diagnosed patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Cycles were administered at 4-week intervals for a total of six cycles, and treatment was
Appendiceal cancer associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei is a relatively low-grade malignancy rarely associated with extraperitoneal metastasis. We report herein the case of a 71-year-old man in whom a metastasis was found in the stomach 2 years after he underwent surgery for pseudomyxoma peritonei
We report a carcinosarcoma of the pancreas in a 67-year-old woman who presented with nausea, vomiting, and painless jaundice. A work-up demonstrated a well-circumscribed mass in the head of the pancreas. After pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, the tumor was found to be grossly yellow, and
Hepatic endometriosis has an extremely rare occurrence characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the liver. A diagnosis of hepatic endometriosis is established after surgery. A 51-year-old multiparous female was referred to our unit for investigation of a liver tumor. The patient
As a treatment for malignant ovarian tumor, whole abdominal irradiation including the upper abdomen is more useful. Between December, 1975 and November, 1980, we additionally applied whole abdominal irradiation by the moving strip technique (1,600 rad) after operation and whole pelvic irradiation
