Abstract

Läkardagarna (physician days) in Orebro is an annual course arranged by the Orebro Society of Medicine in collaboration with The Swedish Society of Medicine. In the year 2000 the title was "Prevention and early diagnosis of cancer. What do we know? What do we believe? What do we do?" With general practitioners as the target audience, the course covered basic biological science, risk factors, screening, ethical questions and the general practitioner's dilemma. This article reviews four selected contributions: 1) What is cancer? 2) Possible importance of the fetal stage for later risk of cancer; 3) Infections as a cause of cancer; and 4) Screening for cancer.

Abstract

The article consists in a discussion of neutropenia caused by large granular lymphocytes (LGLs), illustrated by a review of the literature and case reports of five patients with LGL syndrome and one patient whose clinical characteristics were more consistent with classic Felty's syndrome. Recent years have witnessed advances in our knowledge of clonal expansions of suppressor-type T-cells and their capacity to induce neutropenia. The phenotypes of such cells are CD3+, CD8+ and CD57+. The syndrome is often seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and if they also manifest splenomegaly it may be confused with Felty's syndrome. Appropriate evaluation and treatment of the condition are also discussed, and an attempt made to clarify the confusing terminology.
