[The Wermer syndrome].

The difficult diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients having gastrinoma with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN I) has been discussed by reference to the literature and a personal experience of 2 patients with Wermer syndrome. The syndrome is often familial and might be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with a high but variable degree of penetrance. Pancreatic islets, parathyroid glands and adenohypophyseal [correction of antehypophyseal] cells are the three localization main for endocrine involvement in MEN I syndrome.

[Thyroid cancers].

We have analysed factors that influenced on the patient survival in 195 cases of thyroid cancer. The survival is essentially influenced by the histology, the papillary forms (survival after 15 years: 83.1-93%) and follicular cancers (survival after 15 years: 84-94%) having an excellent evolution. The non-differentiated and mixed cancers have a very severe prognosis that is independent of the complex therapy that have been used (survival after 5 years: 17.1% in non-differentiated forms and 32.5% in mixed ones). The prognosis is better in subjects under the age of 45 and in female subjects. The cancers in the 1-st and 2-nd stage of tumor extension have a better evolution that those in the 3-rd stage. In differentiated cancers, the total or subtotal thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine administration determine the best survival.

[Malignant tumors of the digestive tract below the diaphragm in young people].

We have retrospectively studied 1243 malignancies of the infradiaphragmatic tract treated in the First Surgical Clinic between 1978-1994 (678 gastric, 300 rectal and 256 colonic malignancies). Out of these 39 cases have been encountered in young patients (14 gastric, 13 colon and 12 rectal malignancies). The following particularities have been noted in this group: hereditary predisposition, more advanced stage at diagnosis, predominance of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and poorly differentiated forms. Young age does not significantly influence prognostic, with the control group. In young people the most important prognostic factors are tumor stage, cellular grading and tumor DNA index as determined by flow cytometry.
