BACKGROUND: We compared the results of transanal endoscopic microsurgery and radical surgery in patients with T1 carcinomas of the rectum. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study (1985-96) to compare the results obtained in 103 patients with T1 rectal carcinomas (low-risk T1, n = 80; high-risk T1; n = 23) undergoing transanal endoscopic microsurgery and radical surgical therapy. RESULTS: The complication rate in patients undergoing local excision was 3.4% (two of 58); it was 18% (eight of 45) in the group treated with radical surgery. Two of 45 patients (3.8%) died after radical resection; there were no deaths after local excision. With regard to the actuarial 5-year survival rate, no difference was observed in the group with low-risk T1 carcinoma between patients treated with local excision (79%) and those who had radical resection (81%) (p = 0.72). In patients with high-risk T1 carcinoma, lymph node metastases were identified in four of 11 patients undergoing radical resection (36%). Four of 12 patients with high-risk T1 carcinoma treated by local excision developed recurrences, whereas none of the patients undergoing primary radical surgery had a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery for the treatment of low-risk T1 carcinomas is associated with a significantly lower complication rate than radical surgical therapy. There is no difference in 5-year survival between local and radical surgical therapy in patients with low-risk T1 carcinoma.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The role of conservative surgery and radiation for mammographically detected ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is controversial. In particular, there is little data for outcome with radiation in a group of patients comparable to those treated with local excision and surveillance (mammographic calcifications < or = 2.5 cm, negative resection margins, negative postbiopsy mammogram). This study reports outcome of conservative surgery and radiation for mammographically detected DCIS with an emphasis on results in patients considered candidates for excision alone. METHODS AND MATERIALS: From 1983 to 1992, 110 women with mammographically detected DCIS (77% calcifications +/- mass) and no prior history of breast cancer underwent needle localization and biopsy with (55%) or without a reexcision and radiation. Final margins of resection were negative in 62%, positive 7%, close 11%, and unknown 20%. The median patient age was 56 years. The most common histologic subtype was comedo (54%), followed by cribriform (22%). The median pathologic tumor size was 8 mm (range 2 mm to 5 cm). Forty-seven percent of patients with calcifications only had a negative postbiopsy mammogram prior to radiation. Radiation consisted of treatment to the entire breast (median 50.00 Gy) and a boost to the primary site (97%) for a median total dose of 60.40 Gy. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 5.3 years, three patients developed a recurrence in the treated breast. The median interval to recurrence was 8.8 years and all were invasive cancers. Two (67%) occurred outside the initial quadrant. The 5- and 10-year actuarial rates of recurrence were 1 and 15%. Cause-specific survival was 100% at 5 and 10 years. Contralateral breast cancer developed in two patients. There were too few failures for statistical significance to be achieved with any of the following factors: patient age, family history, race, mammographic findings, location primary, pathologic size, histologic subtype, reexcision, or final margin status. However, young age, positive or close margins, and the presence of a mass without calcifications had a trend for an increased risk of recurrence. There were no recurrences in the subset of 16 patients who would be candidates for surveillance by Lagios' criteria. CONCLUSION: For selected patients, conservative surgery and radiation for mammographically detected DCIS results in a low risk of recurrence in the treated breast and 100% 5- and 10-year cause-specific survival. Improved mammographic and pathologic evaluation results in better patient selection and reduces the risk of the subsequent appearance of DCIS in the biopsy site. The identification of risk factors for an ipsilateral invasive breast recurrence is evolving.  相似文献

PURPOSE: Total mesorectal excision (TME) and other technical surgical factors reduce local recurrence rate in rectal cancer. Scientific evidence of the positive effect of optimal surgery on survival is locking. Whether a reduction in the incidence of distant metastases can be achieved with optimal surgery is uncertain. We examine the effects of the quality of surgery, as reflected by local recurrence rate, on survival and the incidence of initial distant metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 1974 and 1991, 1,581 consecutive patients who underwent curative resection (RO) for rectal carcinoma were monitored for recurrence and survival. TME was introduced in 1985. No patient received adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The median follow-up time was greater than 13 years. RESULTS: The local recurrence rate decreased from 39.4% to 9.8% during the study period (P < .0001). The observed 5-year survival rate improved from 50% to 71% (P < .0001). Three hundred six patients with local recurrence had a significantly lower observed 5-year survival rate (P < .0001). A total of 1,285 patients had no local recurrence, but 275 of them developed distant metastases (International Union Against Cancer [UICC] stage I, 8%; stage II, 16%; stage III, 40%). Better-quality surgery had no effect on the incidence of initial distant metastases, which remained constant (P = .44). CONCLUSION: Quality of surgery is an independent prognostic factor for survival in rectal cancer, but has no influence on initial occurrence of distant metastases. Local recurrence cannot be considered an outcome criterion of adjuvant treatment without consideration of the surgeon as a risk factor.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: There has been a resurgence of interest in the use of preoperative radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy, for locally advanced rectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyse the time course and pattern of failure for 74 patients with clinical stage T3 or T4 (cT3-4) rectal cancer treated with preoperative radiation therapy for whom long-term follow-up was available. METHODS: Seventy-four patients with cT3-4 rectal cancer received a median of 45.0 Gy radiation alone followed by surgery 4-8 weeks later. Median follow-up was 90 months; two-thirds of patients were followed for at least 60 months. RESULTS: Following radiation therapy the pathological stage was 4 per cent pT0, 26 per cent pT1-2 and 70 per cent pT3-4. Thirty-two per cent had involved lymph nodes. The actuarial 5-year rates of local control, freedom from distant metastasis and disease-specific survival were 80, 64 and 73 per cent respectively. The corresponding 10-year rates were 73, 51 and 50 per cent. Median times to detection of local and distant recurrence were 34 and 24 months respectively. Eighty per cent of local recurrences were detected within 54 months; 80 per cent of distant recurrences were detected within 57 months. CONCLUSION: In this analysis, the time to detection of both local and distant recurrences following preoperative radiation therapy for advanced rectal cancer was surprisingly long. Almost 5 years (57 months) of follow-up were required to detect 80 per cent of all failures. The 5-year local control rate of 80 per cent compares favourably with that achieved by more aggressive chemoradiation regimens for fixed cancers; however, the high distant failure rate with radiation therapy alone suggests that adjuvant systemic therapy should be investigated.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To assess the frequency and prognosis of skin recurrences after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) compared with other breast recurrences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1968 to 1986, 1,624 patients with unilateral stage I or II breast cancer treated with BCT at the Joint Center for Radiation Therapy (Boston, MA) underwent gross tumor excision and received a dose of > or = 60 Gy to the tumor bed. Skin recurrences (SR) were defined as breast recurrences without associated parenchymal disease. An invasive breast recurrence with any parenchymal disease noted clinically or radiographically was scored as an other breast recurrence (OBR). Median follow-up for survivors was 137 months. RESULTS: SR represented 8% (18 of 229) of all breast recurrences and occurred in 1.1% of all patients. The outcome after local recurrence was different for patients with SR and invasive OBR. Patients with SR more frequently had uncontrolled local failure (50%; 9 of 18) than did patients with OBR (14%; 26 of 188) (P = .0007). Forty-four percent (8 of 18) of patients with SR had distant metastasis simultaneously or within 2 months of the recurrence compared with 5% (9 of 188) of invasive OBR patients (P < .0001). For patients without distant metastasis at the time of recurrence, the 5-year actuarial rate of development of distant metastasis was 60% for SR patients compared with 39% for invasive OBR patients (P = .07), and the corresponding 5-year actuarial survival rates beyond the time of local failure were 51% and 79%, respectively (P = .06). CONCLUSION: In contrast to other types of invasive breast recurrence after breast-conserving therapy, skin recurrences are rare and are associated with a significantly higher rate of distant metastasis and uncontrolled local disease as well as a lower rate of survival.  相似文献

Thirteen patients with primary carcinoma of the hard palate were seen over an 18-year period at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. Nine patients had adenoid cystic carcinoma, three had squamous cell carcinoma, and one patient had mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The median tumor size was 3 cm3. The patients were clinically staged: T = 1, T2 = 5, T3 = 3, T4 = 4. All were N0M0. Ten patients underwent excision and postoperative irradiation. The remaining three patients were treated definitively with radiotherapy. The 10-year disease-free survival is 77% with an actuarial local control rate of 92%. Patients with negative surgical margins had an improved local control and disease-free survival. Duration of radiation therapy, total tumor dose or histology had no impact on outcome. We conclude that combined surgery and irradiation gives good 10-year local control and disease-free survival rates in patients with this disease.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To identify predicting factors for local failure and increased risk of distant metastases by statistical analysis of the data after breast-conserving treatment for early breast cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Between January 1976 and December 1993, 528 patients with nonmetastatic T1 (tumors < or = 1 cm [n = 197], >1 cm [n = 220]) or T2 (tumors < or = 3 cm [n = 111]) carcinoma of the breast underwent wide excision (n = 435) or quadrantectomy (n = 93) with axillary dissection (negative nodal status [n-]: 396; 1-3 involved nodes: 100; >3 involved nodes: 32). Radiotherapy consisted of 45 Gy to the entire breast via tangential fields. Patients with positive axillary lymph nodes received 45 Gy to the axillary and supraclavicular area. Patients with positive axillary nodes and/or inner or central tumor locations received 50 Gy to the internal mammary lymph node area. A boost dose was delivered to the primary site by iridium 192 Implant in 298 patients (mean total dose: 15.2+/-0.07 Gy, range: 15-25 Gy) or by electrons in 225 patients (mean total dose: 14.8+/-0.09 Gy, range: 5-20 Gy). The mean age was 52.5+/-0.5 years (range: 26-86 years) and 267 patient were postmenopausal. Histologic types were as follows: 463 infiltrating ductal carcinomas, 39 infiltrating lobular carcinomas, and 26 other histotypes. Grade distribution according to the Scarff, Bloom, and Richardson (SBR) classification was as follows: 149 grade 1, 271 grade 2, 73 grade 3, and 35 nonclassified. The mean tumor size was 1.6+/-0.3 cm (range: 0.3-3 cm). The intraductal component of the primary tumor was extensive (EIC = IC > or = 25%) in 39 patients. Tumors were microscopically bifocal in 33 cases. Margins were assessed in the majority of cases by inking of the resection margins and were classified as positive in 13 cases, close (< or = 2 mm) in 21, negative (>2 mm tumor-free margin) in 417, and indeterminate in 77. Peritumoral vascular invasion was observed in 40 patients. Tamoxifen was administered for at least 2 years in 176 patients. At least six cycles of adjuvant systemic chemotherapy were administered in 116 patients. The mean follow-up period from the beginning of the treatment was 84.5+/-1.7 months. RESULTS: First events included 44 isolated local recurrences, 8 isolated axillary node recurrences, 44 isolated distant metastases, 1 local recurrence with synchronous axillary node recurrence, 7 local recurrences with synchronous metastases, and 2 local recurrences with synchronous axillary node recurrences and distant metastases. Of 39 pathologically evaluable local recurrences, 33 were classified as true local recurrences and 6 as ipsilateral new primary carcinomas. Seventy patients died (47 of breast carcinoma, 4 of other neoplastic diseases, 10 of other diseases and 9 of unknown causes). The 5- and 10-year rates were, respectively: specific survival 93% and 86%, disease-free survival 85% and 75%, distant metastasis 8.5% and 14%, and local recurrence 7% and 14%. Mean intervals from the beginning of treatment for local recurrence or distant metastases were, respectively, 60+/-6 months (median: 47 months, range: 6-217 months) and 49.5+/-5.4 months (median: 33 months, range: 6-217 months). After local recurrence, salvage mastectomy was performed in 46 patients (85%) and systemic hormonal therapy and/or chemotherapy was administered to 43 patients. The 5-year specific survival rate after treatment for local recurrence was 78+/-8.2%. Multivariate analysis (multivariate generalization of the proportional hazards model) showed that the probability of local control was decreased by the following four independent factors: young age (< or = 40 yr vs. >40 yr; relative risk [RR]: 3.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.7-5.8, p = 0.0002), premenopausal status (pre vs. post; RR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.4-6, p = 0.0048), bifocality (uni- vs. bifocal; RR: 2.7, 95% CI: 2.6-2.8,p = 0.018), and extensive intraductal component (IC <25% vs. IC > or = 25%; RR: 2.6, 95% CI: 13-5.2, p = 0  相似文献

PURPOSE: Local recurrence is a significant problem following primary surgery for advanced vulva carcinoma. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of adjuvant vulvar radiation on local control in high risk patients and the impact of local recurrence on overall survival. METHODS AND MATERIALS: From 1980-1994, 62 patients with invasive vulva carcinoma and either positive or close (less 8 mm) margins of excision were retrospectively studied. Thirty-one patients were treated with adjuvant radiation therapy to the vulva and 31 patients were observed after surgery. Kaplan-Meier estimates and the Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to evaluate the effect of adjuvant radiation therapy on local recurrence and overall survival. Independent prognostic factors for local recurrence and survival were also assessed. RESULTS: Local recurrence occurred in 58% of observed patients and 16% in patients treated with adjuvant radiation therapy. Adjuvant radiation therapy significantly reduced local recurrence rates in both the close margin and positive margin groups (p = 0.036, p = 0.0048). On both univariate and multivariate analysis adjuvant radiation and margins of excision were significant prognostic predictors for local control. Significant determinants of actuarial survival included International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FIGO) stage, percentage of pathologically positive inguinal nodes and margins of excision. The positive margin observed group had a significantly poorer actuarial 5 year survival than the other groups (p = 0.0016) and adjuvant radiation significantly improved survival for this group. The 2 year actuarial survival after developing local recurrence was 25%. Local recurrence was a significant predictor for death from vulva carcinoma (risk ratio 3.54). CONCLUSION: Local recurrence is a common occurrence in high risk patients. In this study adjuvant radiation therapy significantly reduced local recurrence rates and may improve overall survival in certain subgroups. As salvage rates after developing local recurrence are poor adjuvant vulvar radiation should be considered for patients at risk after primary surgery.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: There has been increasing interest in the use of sphincter-preserving therapy for patients with distal rectal carcinomas. The outcomes of conservative treatments for early stage rectal carcinoma appear to be comparable to that achieved with abdominoperineal resection. METHODS: Retrospective and prospective clinical series of patients with distal rectal carcinoma treated by local excision alone, local excision with postoperative adjuvant therapy, preoperative radiation followed by local excision, or radical circumferential sphincter-sparing surgeries were reviewed. The local control rates, salvage rates, and treatment complications in patients treated by these various methods were examined. RESULTS: Patients with T1 distal rectal carcinoma with favorable clinical and histopathologic characteristics treated with local excision alone had a local control rate of greater than 90% in most series. Postoperative chemoradiation improved local control for those with T1 disease with unfavorable characteristics, or those with T2 disease. Most T3 patients had failure rates of greater than 30% despite adjuvant local and systemic therapy. With high dose preoperative radiation, approximately 80% of patients with locally advanced or unresectable tumors were able to undergo sphincter-preservation treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with favorable T1 rectal carcinoma are likely to be adequately treated with local excision alone. Patients with T1 disease with unfavorable characteristics as well as T2 patients will benefit from postoperative chemoradiation. The use of local therapy in T3 patients needs to be carefully considered because these patients are at relatively high risk for local recurrence despite adjuvant therapy. Preoperative radiation followed by either local excision or radical circumferential sphincter-sparing resections appears promising in allowing sphincter preservation in patients with locally advanced tumors.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To assess the local control and survival in patients who received pelvic irradiation for locally recurrent rectal carcinoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The records of 519 patients with locally recurrent rectal carcinoma treated principally with external-beam radiation therapy between 1975 to 1985 at a single institute were retrospectively reviewed. These included 326 patients who relapsed locally following previous abdominoperineal resection, 151 after previous low anterior resection, and 42 after previous local excision or electrocoagulation for the primary. No patients had received adjuvant radiation therapy or chemotherapy for the primary disease. Concurrent extrapelvic distant metastases were found in 164 (32%) patients at local recurrence and, in the remaining 355, the relapse was confined to the pelvis. There were 290 men and 229 women whose age ranged from 23 to 91 years (median = 65). Median time from initial surgery to radiation therapy for local recurrence was 18 months (3-138 months). Radiation therapy was given with varying dose-fractionation schedules, total doses ranging from 4.4 to 65.0 Gy (median = 30 Gy) over 1 to 92 days (median = 22 days). For 214 patients who received a total dose > or = 35 Gy, radiation therapy was given in 1.8 to 2.5 Gy daily fractions. RESULTS: The median survival was 14 months and the median time to local disease progression was 5 months from date of pelvic irradiation. The 5-year survival was 5%, and the pelvic disease progression-free rate was 7%. Twelve patients remained alive and free of disease at 5 years after pelvic irradiation. Upon multivariate analysis, overall survival was positively correlated with ECOG performance status (p = 0.0001), absence of extrapelvic metastases (p = 0.0001), long intervals from initial surgery to radiation therapy for local recurrence (p = 0.0001), total radiation dose (p = 0.0001), and absence of obstructive uropathy (p = 0.0013). Pelvic disease progression-free rates were positively correlated with ECOG performance status (p = 0.0001), total radiation dose (p = 0.0001), and previous conservative surgery for the primary (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Survival is poor for patients who develop local recurrence following previous surgery for rectal carcinoma. Pelvic radiation therapy provides only short-term palliation, and future efforts should be directed to the use of effective adjuvant therapy for patients with rectal carcinoma who are at high risk of local recurrence.  相似文献

Between 1983 and 1993, 680 patients with rectal carcinoma were treated at Ulm University. The resection rate was 84%. After undergoing radical surgery, 492 of the patients were followed up regularly at our hospital for a median of 66.9 months (range 4-177.6). Recurrences occurred in 172 patients (35%) and were diagnosed a median of 13 months (range 4-106 months) postoperatively; 9.4% had regional recurrences, 10.4% regional recurrences and distant metastases and 10.2% distant metastases. The 10-year survival rate of the patients in tumour stages I, II and III was 88%, 62%, and 32%. In patients with carcinoma of the midrectum, after anterior resection or abdominoperineal amputation the same local recurrence rate was found.  相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the disease-free and overall survival of pediatric patients with nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft-tissue sarcomas. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 67 pediatric patients with a diagnosis of nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma treated with curative intent between 1970 and 1992. Median follow-up time for the 52 survivors was 120 months (range, 7 to 277 months). Fifty-nine patients received external beam radiotherapy, in a median dose of 5400 cGy (range, 1800 to 6660 cGy.) All patients underwent an initial surgical procedure. Eighteen patients had gross residual disease, and 15 had gross total excision with microscopic residual disease or positive margins. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 44 patients (65%). RESULTS: The actuarial 10-year freedom from progression or recurrence and overall survival rates were 76% and 75%, and the 20-year rates were the same. Of 18 patients with gross residual disease, 9 (50%) had local progression and 6 died of local-only disease. By contrast, only one patient with microscopic residual disease who received postoperative radiotherapy had a local recurrence. The disease-free survival rate also correlated with histologic grade. CONCLUSIONS: As with adult soft tissue sarcomas, gross residual disease predicts local failure. Our results suggest that pediatric patients with soft tissue sarcomas treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy generally have a favorable overall survival rate.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Choice of treatment for base of tongue carcinoma is controversial, with options including surgery alone, radiotherapy alone, or multimodality treatment. Given the highly aggressive nature of these tumors, it has been our institutional policy to manage this disease with combined partial glossectomy (with attempt to avoid laryngectomy if possible) with planned postoperative radiotherapy (RT). We reported on our institutional experience with this approach. METHODS: A retrospective review of the charts of 17 patients with primary base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma treated with surgery and postoperative RT was performed. Patients treated with chemotherapy as part of their management were excluded. All patients underwent partial, hemi-, or subtotal glossectomy; 15/17 patients underwent ipsilateral radical or modified radical neck dissection. All patients received comprehensive postoperative RT (median dose 6000 cGy; range 5040-6920 cGy). Stage distribution was as follows: stage I, 2; stage II, 3; stage III, 2; stage IV, 10. Positive margins for invasive carcinoma were found in 9/17 patients. Median follow-up of surviving patients is 46 months; median follow-up for all patients is 31 months. RESULTS: For the entire group of patients, the actuarial 3-year local-regional control rate was 68%. The actuarial 3-year overall survival rate was 46%. The local-regional control rate was 83% for patients with stage I-III disease versus 50% for stage IV disease. There were no local failures among eight patients with negative margins (local control 100%) compared with an actuarial local control rate of 36% among patients with positive margins (p = .03). Survival, disease-specific survival, and locoregional control were also highly correlated with margin status (p = .003). Late major complications included 5/17 patients requiring permanent G-tubes and/or tracheostomy to prevent aspiration. CONCLUSIONS: Surgery plus postoperative RT is an intensive treatment for carcinoma of the base of tongue which offers high locoregional control in patients in whom negative margins are achieved. Positive margins indicate a high risk of locoregional and systemic failure, and these patients should be considered for innovative clinical trials after surgery.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The authors' aim was to determine survival and recurrence rates in patients undergoing resection of rectal cancer achieved by abdominoperineal resection (APR), coloanal anastomosis (CAA), and anterior resection (AR) without adjuvant therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The surgery of rectal cancer is controversial; so, too, is its adjuvant management. Questions such as preoperative versus postoperative radiation versus no radiation are key. An approach in which the entire mesorectum is excised has been proposed as yielding low recurrence rates. METHODS: Of 1423 patients with resected rectal cancers, 491 patients were excluded, leaving 932 with a primary adenocarcinoma of the rectum treated at Mayo. Eighty-six percent were resected for cure. Surgery plus adjuvant treatment was performed in 418, surgery alone in 514. These 514 patients are the subject of this review. Among the 514 patients who underwent surgery alone, APR was performed in 169, CAA in 19, AR in 272, and other procedures in 54. Eighty-seven percent of patients were operated on with curative intent. The mean follow-up was 5.6 years; follow-up was complete in 92%. APR and CAA were performed excising the envelope of rectal mesentery posteriorly and the supporting tissues laterally from the sacral promontory to the pelvic floor. AR was performed using an appropriately wide rectal mesentery resection technique if the tumor was high; if the tumor was in the middle or low rectum, all mesentery was resected. The mean distal margin achieved by AR was 3 +/- 2 cm. RESULTS: Mortality was 2% (12 of 514). Anastomotic leaks after AR occurred in 5% (16 of 291) and overall transient urinary retention in 15%. Eleven percent of patients had a wound infection (abdominal and perineal wound, 30-day, purulence, or cellulitis). The local recurrence and 5-year disease-free survival rates were 7% and 78%, respectively, after AR; 6% and 83%, respectively, after CAA; and 4% and 80%, respectively, after APR. Patients with stage III disease, had a 60% disease-free survival rate. CONCLUSIONS: Complete resection of the envelope of supporting tissues about the rectum during APR, CAA, and AR when tumors were low in the rectum is associated with low mortality, low morbidity, low local recurrence, and good 5-year survival rates. Appropriate "tumor-specific" mesorectal excision during AR when the tumor is high in the rectum is likewise consistent with a low rate of local recurrence and good long-term survival. However, the overall failure rate of 40% in stage III disease (which is independent of surgical technique) means that surgical approaches alone are not sufficient to achieve better long-term survival rates.  相似文献

Recurrence data from a series of 1,315 colorectal cancer patients managed by one surgeon with potentially curative resection are presented. Complete follow-up information was available on 1,287 (98%) patients. At the time of the last recurrences, 164 and 232 months for rectal and colonic tumours respectively, the long-time recurrence rate was significantly (P = 0.001) higher for rectal tumours (42%) than for colonic (33%). Although local recurrences tended to be more common in rectal than in colonic tumours (18% compared to 15%), only those in contiguity with the operative area were significantly (P less than 0.005) more common in rectal tumours. Systemic recurrences were also significantly (P less than 0.025) commoner for rectal tumours. The greater recurrence rates in rectal tumours were associated with significantly (P less than 0.001) higher incidence of stage C tumours shorter recurrence-free survival in rectal stage C tumours (P = 0.001) and higher incidence of pulmonary metastases (P less than 0.001).  相似文献

The cases of 40 patients with osteosarcoma of the pelvis treated between 1977 and 1994 were reviewed. The location of the tumor was ilium in 30 patients, ischium in four, pubis in one, and sacrum in five. Most (58%) of the tumors were of the chondroblastic subtype. Thirty patients had surgical excision of the tumors: 10 with hemipelvectomies and 20 with limb sparing procedures. A wide margin was achieved in 16 of 30 (53%) patients, including 12 of 14 who had no sacral tumor involvement. Positive margins occurred at the sacrum in 11 patients, lumbar vertebra in one, perirectal space in one, and contralateral pubic body in one. Macroscopic tumor emboli within the regional large vessels were found in seven patients. The incidence of local recurrence was 32%: 13% in wide excisions, 38% in marginal excisions, and 80% in intralesional excisions. The 1- and 5-year overall patient survivals were 73% and 34%, respectively. Patients who had a surgical excision of the primary tumor had a significantly better survival than did those treated without surgery (5-year survival; 41% and 10%, respectively). Tumor size, surgical excision of the primary tumor, surgical margin, and type of surgical procedure were the prognostic factors for patients with Stage IIB tumors.  相似文献

The medical charts and operative files of 112 patients (combined inception cohort) with well to moderately differentiated invasive glottic squamous cell carcinoma presenting fixation (22) or impaired motion (90) of the true vocal cord (TVC) consecutively treated with cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) at our institutions from 1972 to 1989 were retrospectively reviewed. A minimum 5-year follow-up was always achieved. The Kaplan-Meier 5-year actuarial survival, local recurrence, nodal recurrence, distant metastasis, and metachronous second primary tumor estimate for the entire group of patients were 84.7%, 5.4%, 6.4%, 1.2%, and 10.8%, respectively. The 5-year absolute and cause-specific survival rates were 85.5% and 94.1% for patients with fixation of the TVC and 81.3% and 96% for patients with impaired motion of the TVC. The 5-year actuarial local control rates for patients with fixation or impaired motion of the TVC were 95.4% and 94.4%, respectively. Local recurrence was statistically more likely in patients with positive margins (p = .007). Nodal recurrence was statistically more likely in patients with local recurrence (p = .005). Permanent tracheostomy related to postoperative laryngeal stenosis was requested in 2 patients. Aspiration-related completion total laryngectomy and/or permanent gastrostomy were never requested. Overall, local control and laryngeal preservation were achieved in 97.3%, and 95.5% of patients, respectively. At our institutions, the change from the conservative treatment modalities of radiotherapy and vertical partial laryngectomy to CHEP has brought about an increase in long-term survival, local control, and laryngeal preservation rates when compared to historical controls using vertical partial laryngectomy or radiotherapy.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The frequency of in situ melanoma is increasing, and it is often diagnosed fortuitously by histology. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 121 melanomas in situ in 113 patients with the aim of identifying the clinical features of, and optimal surgical treatment for this cutaneous malignancy. Treatment was limited surgery with 3 mm margins of excision in 69 cases (57%) and wider margins of excision (more than 3 mm) in 52 cases (43%). The lesions had a median diameter of 1 cm (range, 2-35 mm) and were generally macular (92% of cases) asymmetric (87%), with an irregular border (88%) and nonuniform pigmentation (98%), usually in shades of brown (41%) and black (48%). These features had permitted a clinical diagnosis of melanoma or suspected melanoma in 62% of cases and of doubtful nevus in an additional 18% of cases. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 4 years, there were six local recurrences (three treated by limited surgery and three by wider excision), all in situ melanomas. CONCLUSIONS: The typical clinical features of melanoma in situ, which are similar to those of early invasive melanoma, are usually sufficiently distinctive to suggest the clinical diagnosis of melanoma or suspected melanoma. Except for large size and superficially extended lesions (larger than 2 cm), adequate treatment is excision with 3 mm margins, although larger lesions (larger then 2 cm) may have an appreciable incidence of local recurrence.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Local excision (LE) may offer an ideal method, instead of standard abdominoperineal excision (APE), for the treatment of low rectal carcinomas, if strict selection criterias are followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results after LE and APE, and further compare these two methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-three consecutive patients initially operated on by LE and 83 consecutive patients with radical APE made for tumours in Dukes' stages A to C were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The methods did not differ in terms of postoperative mortality and complications, 0/33 versus 1/83 (1%) and 9/33 (27%) versus 32/83 (39%), respectively. Five LEs were palliative and in 23 of the 28 patients, operated on with curative intent, LE alone was considered potentially curative. Local recurrence developed in four (18%) of the 22 patients followed up after curative LEs (14 had a T1 and eight a T2 tumour). In a comparable group of Dukes' stage A tumours, four of the 20 APE patients developed local recurrence. The longterm outcome of patients after LE and APE did not differ in terms of local-recurrence-free survival (80% versus 76%), cancer-specific survival (100% versus 90%) and overall survival (69% versus 76%) at five years, respectively. In conclusion, LE saved the anal continence in properly selected patients with low rectal carcinoma confined to the rectal wall without compromising their outcome. Large prospective series of LEs, however, are needed to assess the importance of factors suggested to increase the risk of local recurrence.  相似文献

Since 1988, treatment strategies for our sarcoma patients have been determined by the same team and operations performed by one surgeon. The aim of this study was to analyse prognostic data on local recurrence and survival of 101 consecutive patients who presented in our institution with the primary tumour manifestation. After a median follow-up of 35 months, the local recurrence rate was 13.5%, the mean survival time was 68 months and the 5-year survival rate was 83%. Besides positive lymph nodes (only 3 patients) the quality of resection significantly influenced local recurrences (P < 0.05). Univariate predictors of mortality were tumour grade (P < 0.01), tumour size (P < 0.05), distant metastases (P < 0.01), and resection quality (P < 0.01). Multivariate predictors of mortality consisted of grade (P < 0.0001), positive lymph nodes (P < 0.001) and resection quality (P < 0.01). In this homogeneous group of patients, excellent recurrence and survival rates could be achieved. An optimized surgical treatment not only reduces the rate of local recurrences but also augments survival time.  相似文献
