Indications for Performing a Proctologic Examination and Endoscopy

1979

Complaints from the patient about discomfort in the anal region, rectal bleeding, and change in bowel habits — especially recent occurrence of constipation or diarrhea or a change in either symptom — as well as tenesmus are obligatory reasons for conducting a proctologic examination. These symptoms should never be ignored or treated by prescription of hemorrhoid suppositories, antispasmodics, analgesics, or laxatives.

Multizentrische Phase II — Studie der Arbeitsgruppe Lebermetastasen zur wöchentlichen intraarteriellen 24 h Hochdosistherapie mit 5-FU und Folinsäure…

1998

This prospective multicenter trial was performed to determine the response rate, toxicity and applicability of continuous 24 h hepatic arterial infusion of high-dose 5-FU and folinic acid. An improved response rate (60.5% in non-pretreated patients) was however associated with many systemic side-effects (340/509), mainly nausea and diarrhea. Therefore this treatment should be applied only in selected patients in specialized centers.
