Computed tomography of orthopedic tumors of the pelvis and lower extremities.

An analysis of 6 representative cases of tumors of the pelvis and lower extremities demonstrates the clinical usefulness of computerized tomography (CT) in preoperative evaluation. CT provides information regarding precise size of the mass, its location and relationship to muscle bundles and fascial planes, definition of the margins of the mass, relation to neural, vascular and bony structures not previously available by plain film and angiography. This information is of particular value to the orthopedic surgeon in evaluating the feasibility of en bloc resections of tumors and in planning reconstructive procedures.

Phase II trial of 10-deazaaminopterin for advanced hypernephroma.

10-Deazaaminopterin, a derivative of aminopterin with enhanced cellular uptake relative to methotrexate, was given to fourteen patients with advanced measurable hypernephroma. The dose-limiting toxicity was mucositis. Abnormalities in liver function were seen in 8 patients. No responses were seen in 13 adequately treated patients including 10 who had received no prior chemotherapy. The unique transport of this new group of compounds is discussed.
