Abstract
Women with a personal history of breast cancer (PHBC) are at risk of developing another breast cancer and are recommended for screening mammography. Few high-quality data exist on screening performance in PHBC women.
To examine the accuracy and outcomes of mammography...

Abstract
A 75-year-old female patient underwent distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for gastric cancer. Six months later, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed liver metastasis and radio frequency ablation (RFA) was performed. Ten months later, she underwent a parti...

Abstract
The study of patients with multiple neoplasms can yield valuable insight into the common pathogenesis of both diseases, as well as identify more subtle risk factors that might not be as readily apparent otherwise. The authors present an analysis of the prevalence of previously diagnosed extracranial...

We report on the descriptive epidemiology of scrotal cancer in the Netherlands.
Data on all scrotal cancer patients were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) in the period 1989-2006 and age-standardised incidence rates were calculated also according to histology and stage. Relative su...

Abstract
We must follow up on patients undergone resection of lung cancer at the long-term periods. Recent amelioration of chemotherapy and radiotherapy can keep patients with recurrent lung cancer survive by over 5 years. It is important not only to perform an aggressive 2nd operation for recurrent lung can...

Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed 62 patients who underwent surgical treatment for postoperative recurrent or 2nd primary lung cancer. Of the 62 patients, 43 were men and 19 were women with an average age of 67.6 years old. The histology of the initial primary lung cancer was adenocarcinoma in 42 patients...

Abstract
We analyzed 39 patients who underwent a 2nd resection for recurrent (solitary pulmonary metastasis) or 2nd primary lung cancer. Based on the pathological findings, 18 patients were diagnosed as recurrent lung cancer, and 21 patients were diagnosed as 2nd primary lung cancer. Overall 5-year survival...

Abstract
During a 24-year period (1986-2009), 74 patients (3.5%) underwent iterative surgical resections for 2nd primary and recurrent lung cancer. Patients are classified to 5 groups: 20 2nd primary lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy (A), 24 2nd primary lung cancer patients undergoing limited resecti...

Abstract
Among 659 resected lung cancer cases from 1994 to 2009, 57 secondary lung cancers (8.6%) were evaluated. The secondary tumors were synchronous, located in the same lobe in 10, the ipsilateral different lobe in 17, and the contralateral lobe in 13, or metachronous, located in the contralateral lobe i...

We performed a retrospective review of 45 consecutive patients with metachronous multiple primary lung cancer who underwent resection between 1990 and 2009. Surgical treatment of the 1st tumor consisted of 39 lobectomies and 3 segmentectomies, and 3 wedge resections. The 2nd tumor was removed by mea...

We considered 42 cases (3 of completion pneumonectomy and 39 of VATS) to be metachronous lung cancer and 8 cases of VATS to be recurrence by detailed histologic assessment. We examined 39 cases of metachronous lung cancer resected by VATS. The patients were aged 68 +/- 8 years and 4 patients were ag...

Abstract
In average-risk female survivors, 2743 of 3392 (80.9%) reported having a Papanicolaou smear within the recommended period, and 140 of 209 (67.0%) reported mammography within the recommended period. In high-risk survivors, rates of recommended mammography among women were only 241 of 522 (46.2%) and...

Abstract
Children who are diagnosed with cancer have a five-year survival rate of nearly 80%, and many live well into adulthood. Because of their disease and treatment exposures, survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for unique long-term health effects. This article reviews some of the more common late e...

Abstract
A high risk of new mucosal malignancies of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) is seen in patients successfully treated for oral cancer. The prognosis is unclear for these patients. A typical failure may be located at the site of the first tumor i.e. a local recurrence; or separately as a second pr...

Abstract
Adding concurrent-adjuvant chemotherapy statistically significantly reduced failure and cancer-specific deaths when compared with radiotherapy alone. Although there was no statistically significant increase in major late toxicity, increase in noncancer deaths narrowed the resultant gain in overall s...

We suspected pneumonia. After clarithromycin (CAM) was administered for three months, CT scanning demonstrated in July 2008 that the nodule was enlarged more than the CT scanning of 2006. We had performed bronchoscopy on April 2009, and obtained a specimen for the nodule. We diagnosed adenocarcinoma...

We described here a patient who had two lung masses.

These two lung...
