Intraoperative radiotherapy for abdominal malignancies: new prospects in multimodality treatment.

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IOR) using a high-dose electron beam was first attempted in Japan about 20 years ago. Since then a continuing effort to effectively apply this innovative treatment has been underway. Radiotherapy promises to be a useful technique, since information regarding improved survival, alleviation of symptoms, and reduced radiation injury has become widely available. This report focuses on a general historical review of IOR, its advantages and disadvantages, complications, and indications in the treatment of abdominal neoplasms by comparing Japanese and Western experience.

Computed tomography of the body: initial clinical trial with the EMI prototype.

A review of the first 400 cases examined on one of three prototype EMI body scanners is presented. During the initial evaluation phases, it became obvious that computed tomography of the body has tremendous potential in the evaluation of various organs and disease states. The technique has been most useful in evaluating patients with known or suspected abdominal neoplasm, particularly lesions of liver, pancreas, retroperitoneum, and kidney. Too few cases have been studied to realistically quantitate its impact on the total field of medical diagnostic imaging.

Simultaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and nephrectomy for neoplasm.

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm and renal neoplasm are occasionally discovered concurrently. Simultaneous operative therapy may be an effective alternate management strategy to a staged procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The medical records of 10 consecutive patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and nephrectomy for renal neoplasm were reviewed. Data collected included mode of presentation, preoperative evaluation, renal pathology, and in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Long-term follow-up was obtained through office records and telephone contact. RESULTS: In 7 patients, the renal mass was identified during evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm was identified during evaluation of hematuria in 2 patients. One patient was discovered to have both conditions simultaneously. All patients underwent successful aneurysm repair and nephrectomy. Pathology revealed 6 renal cell carcinomas, 2 complex cysts, 1 hemangiopericytoma, and 1 oncocytoma. Four patients have died in the follow-up period: 1 of metastatic cancer and 3 of unrelated causes. There have been no cases of graft infection. CONCLUSION: Simultaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and nephrectomy for neoplasm is an appropriate management strategy for selected patients.
