Survival and complications after radical surgery for carcinoma of the rectum.

The results of 164 abdominoperineal resections and 87 anterior resections carried out between 1972 and 1985 for cancer of the rectum were reviewed, assessed, and compared. The problems with anterior resection included a 1.1% hospital mortality and a 5.4% anastomotic failure rate in the 73 manual sutures and 28.5% in the 14 mechanical sutures; recurrence rate was 15.4% and the global 5-year-survival was 62%. There was no mortality in the Miles series; the recurrence rate was 4.8% and the 5-year-survival rate was 53.5%. Urogenital complications after Miles were found in 86.9%: urinary alone 10.8%, sexual alone 19.5%, both 56.5%.

Carcinoma↗

[Angiosarcoma of the breast].

Two cases of angiosarcoma of the breast observed in 1981 and 1982 are reported; one of these is still living, but with local recurrence. The pathogenesis, classification, prognosis and therapy of this malignant tumor are analysed. The review of the literature and personal experience seem to suggest that the treatment of choice should be surgical with complementary radiotherapy.

Adult↗

[Carcinomas in situ of the breast].

In situ carcinomas of the breast represent a clinical reality of recent decades that oncologists have to face today. Their observation is rendered increasingly frequent thanks to the improvements made in radiological techniques for early diagnosis and mass screening, and better health education. Reference is made to cases of lobular and ductal in situ cancer observed at the Bologna Surgical Clinic. Recommendations are made with respect to the drawing up of a rational treatment plan.

Benign smooth muscle cell metaplasia in breast.

Three different benign breast lesions showing smooth muscle cells in the stroma are reported. Benign smooth muscle cells are rarely found in the breast, and it is likely that they originate from metaplastic changes of the stroma itself.
