Abstract

Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is relatively common, approximately 3-5% of all cancers. Diagnostic evaluation must include adequate tumor biopsies for pathology evaluation (PAD) as well as abdominal and chest CT. Prognosis is generally poor, but subgroups occur where long-term survival is possible, and a few patients can even be cured. If patients do not belong to any of these subgroups, diagnostic evaluation and treatment should be considered in relation to possible benefits. CUP diagnosed patients should, if possible, be cared for by experienced hospital units with access to a multi-disciplinary network. New radiological methods, such as PET and whole-body MRI, may in certain cases provide important information for diagnosis.

Abstract

The treatment of rectal cancer has changed significantly during the last 30 years. With improved surgical technique and the introduction of preoperative radiotherapy sphincter preserving surgery is now predominant and the rate of local recurrence has been reduced substantially. However, new therapy concepts may also introduce an increased risk of complications. A register to monitor quality control in rectal cancer treatment in Sweden was established in 1995. It covers over 95 per cent of the patients with rectal cancer reported to the Swedish National Cancer Registry. Collection of data and validation are done by six regional oncology centres under supervision of surgeons appointed by the hospitals involved. The results are then collated to a nationwide quality register, enabling regions to compare themselves with other regions, and hospitals with other hospitals.

11. [Combined radiotherapy and surgery is best against rectal cancer].

Abstract

The treatment of rectal cancer has changed dramatically during the past twenty years. Adjuvant radiotherapy has been shown to reduce the local recurrence rate by approximately 50 per cent, a reduction associated with a 10-20 per cent improvement in overall survival. Most trials designed to evaluate radiotherapy have not been optimised. Use of the modern mesorectal excision procedure in rectal cancer surgery has reduced the local recurrence rate and improved survival in cases treated with surgery alone. The article consists in a review of advances in our knowledge of radiotherapy and the value of improved surgery, and discussion of radiotherapy used in conjunction with optimised surgical treatment.
