BACKGROUND
Hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare epithelial malignant neoplasm of the liver or extrahepatic bile ducts. Early diagnosis of hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma is difficult because of its asymptomatic features and rarity. Moreover, the molecular pathogenesis of hepatobiliary
We encountered a case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with ovarian-type stroma, an extremely rare condition. The patient was a 56-year-old woman with complaints of diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal fullness. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a nodular multi-cystic mass in the left
Gastrin producing ovarian tumor is a rare cause of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. We report the case of an ovarian carcinoma showing increased plasma gastrin concentration. A 60-yr-old woman presented with epigastric pain and diarrhea. Physical examination showed a large mass in the lower abdomen.
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
A 38-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea and iron-deficient anemia. Computed tomogram showed a 2 x 4 cm inhomogeneous lesion of the right adnexa. An unusual mass was identified extending from the appendiceal orifice at colonoscopy, and an 8 cm
Among advanced ovarian cancer, OCCA has worse prognosis compared with serous cystadenocarcinoma because of its poor sensitivity to CDDP-based chemotherapy (CTX). Indeed, there has ever been no one patient with pure OCCA showing an appreciable response to CTX. OCCA has recently been increasing in
BACKGROUND
Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma is known to have poorer prognosis than ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma. Cyclophosphamide plus cisplatin has been the standard therapy for ovarian cancer, but ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma dose not respond to this therapy. The treatment for ovarian
A 78-year-old woman presented at the emergency room with abdominal pain and diarrhea. At physical examination an abdominal tumour was palpated. The CT-scan showed an invagination of the colon, whereupon an explorative laparatomy was performed. A right-hemicolectomy was conducted and pathology showed
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
A phase II study of 5'-DFUR was conducted in uterine cervical cancer and ovarian cancer by the cooperative study group consisting of 26 institutions. Forty-four cases with uterine cervical cancer and 40 cases with ovarian cancer were enrolled. A daily dose of 800-1,200 mg was administered orally for
