[Controversies in timing of preoperative staging of pancreatic carcinomas].

In recent years pancreatic cancer has shown an increasing incidence. Preoperative staging represents a main problem for its surgical management. Recent behaviour in the treatment of the disease led to considerably more encouraging results. The Authors describe the cases treated at the Dept. of Surgery of the University of Perugia and review the most important international reports on preoperative staging of pancreatic cancer.

[Follow-up of surgical biopsies in microcalcifications of the breast. Comparative analysis of patients submitted to mammography and digitalization of mammographic images].

Improvements in the techniques of preoperative needle localization of nonpalpable breast lesions that have been detected at mammography, coupled with surgical biopsy of smaller volumes of breast tissue and the use of local anesthesia have produced a more aggressive attitude toward early biopsy of lesions that are suspected of malignancy. The authors report the follow-up in 92 cases, who underwent breast biopsy for microcalcifications with no palpable lesions. In 46 women the presence of microcalcifications was evaluated through a computerized instrument which allows digitalization of the image.
