Estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer: correlation with clinical and pathological features and with prognosis.

Estrogen and progesterone receptor status was reviewed in 405 patients from prior adjuvant breast cancer trials at the University of Verona. Only 233 patients were actually examined with respect to hormone status and outcome. No relationship between hormone receptor status and most of the commonly followed prognostic signs, i.e. tumor size, nodal status, and age, was found. Overall survival was correlated with hormone receptor positivity for patients with more than 4 positive axillary nodes. Disease-free survival was correlated only with PgR positivity, in premenopausal and in T1 groups.

[A case of duodenal schwannoma (clinical study)].

Taking a case of duodenal schwannoma, that they had observed, as a starting point, on the base of their experience and the data of literature, the authors discuss the epidemiological, of classification and anatomo-pathological aspects of this rare neoplastic form. They particularly outline the clinical aspect, the diagnostic pre-operating iter and the correct and radical surgical behaviour that must be practiced during laparatomy.

[Incidence of recurrent nerve paralysis in personal cases of thyroid surgery].

The authors review their series of thyroid operations, totaling 383 cases in the last seven years. In that series the incidence of recurrent nerve lesions leading to permanent sequels was 1.07% (all treated without surgical preparation of the nerve); an additional 0.53% of the patients developed transient paralysis of the recurrent nerve--of which the authors discuss the possible etiology. The authors conclude by stating the need for careful recognition of the recurrent nerve in all surgical procedures involving the thyroid gland, except some enucleo-resections; they confirm the importance of branches of the inferior thyroid artery and the inferior horn of the thyroid cartilage as reference points.

[Our experience wit congenital anomalies of the bile ducts (with presentation of 13 clinical cases)].

Thirteen cases of congenital anomalies of the bile passages are described, as observed in the Verona Surgical Clinic during the period 1970-75, out of a total of 908 operations on the biliary passages and hence with a frequency of about 1.6%. They consisted of one case each of agenesis of the gall-bladder, septal gall-bladder, clepsydra gall-bladder, Hartmann's sac, diverticulum of the gall-bladder, outlet of the right hepatic in gall-bladder, outlet of cystic duct in third duodenal portion, accessory cholecystobiliary ducts, three cases of outlet of cystic duct in right hepatic duct, and two cases of common choledocho-wirsunghian canal. After a brief description of the individual types of anomaly, the main data in the relevant literature are considered, with a review of the semeiological and therapeutic aspects of the most frequent anomalies.
