Staging of Bladder Cancer
1982
It is well established that the prognosis of cancer patients depends on several factors including: the local extension of the tumour, and the presence of single or multiple tumours; the presence or absence of lymph-node metastases and/or distant metastases; the presence or absence of neoplastic cells in lymphatics or in blood vessels; the histopathological type and architecture; the degree of cellular differentiation; the tumour — host relationship, including the patient’s immunological reactivity.
Fokal-noduläre Hyperplasie der Leber bei 930 Patienten
1987
Analysis of 930 patients with focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver (FNH), including 23 seen by the authors, showed the following results: 82.2% of patients were female, 37.8% of these had taken female steroidal hormones. There was no preference for a particular lobe of the liver. 57.7% of FNH were subcapsular, 33.7% were intrahepatic and 8.8% were pedunculated. Average size was 5.9 cm, 80.8% of the patients were asymptomatic. In 93.5% (115 out of 123) a space-occupying lesion in the liver could be demonstrated by sonography. In 13%, second or multiple tumours were missed by sonography. CT without enhancement demonstrated FNH in 90.4% (94 out of 104 patients). A rapid, marked increase in d…
Italian cancer figures, report 2013: Multiple tumours
2013
This collaborative study, based on data collected by the network of Italian association of cancer registries (AIRTUM), provides updated estimates on the incidence risk of multiple primary cancer (MP). The objective is to highlight and quantify the bidirectional associations between different oncological diseases. The quantification of the excess or decreased risk of further cancers in cancer patients, in comparison with the general population, may contribute to understand the aetiology of cancer and to address clinical follow-up.Data herein presented were provided by AIRTUM population-based cancer registries, which cover nowadays 48% of the Italian population. This monograph utilizes the AI…
