Download or read book Ovarialtumoren written by G. Dallenbach-Hellweg and published by Springer. This book was released on 1982-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Ovarialtumoren gehoren heute mit zu den haufigsten Tumoren des weiblichen Genitale. Ihre morphologische Differentialdiagnostik und die sich darauf aufbauende gezielte Therapie ist aufgrund der Vielfalt dieser Tumoren ungleich viel komplizierter als in anderen Organen. Dement­ sprechend liegt der Schwerpunkt dieses Buches auf dem Gebiet der Histo­ pathologie. Spezialkenntnisse insbesondere tiber die selteneren Formen der Ovarialtumoren hangen von groBen Fallzahlen abo Hier ist der inter­ nationale Erfahrungsaustausch von vorrangiger Bedeutung. Die derzeit weltweit anerkannte histogenetische Klassifikation der WHO erfahrt an­ hand der Erfahrungen an drei deutschen Frauenkliniken kleine Erganzun­ gen und Variationen. Einige Lander, Z. B. Israel verfUgen tiber groBe epi­ demiologische Untersuchungen, deren Ergebnisse korrelierend aufgenom­ men sind. Zur klinischen Diagnostik wurden in den letzten lahren mo­ dernste Untersuchungsmt;thoden neu eingefUhrt; ihre Anwendung setzt jedoch individuell anzupassende kritische Indikationsstellungen voraus. AbschlieBend werden die sich sehr differenziert auf der histologischen Diagnostik aufbauenden modernen Moglichkeiten einer gezielten Thera­ pie der Ovarialtumoren ausfUhrlich diskutiert. Hier steht die Chemothera­ pie im Vordergrund. 1m Hinblick auf die Frage einer Hormonbehandlung kommt neuerdings auch dem Rezeptornachweis im Tumorgewebe Bedeu­ tung zu. Diese Zusammenstellung spricht somit gleichermaBen Pathologen, Onkologen und Gynakologen an und will versuchen, gegenseitige Infor­ mationslticken der Fachexperten auf dem Gesamtgebiet der Problematik der Ovarialtumoren in zumutbarer Klirze zu schlieJ3en. Daher nehmen ge­ rade die selteneren und bisher weniger bekannten Tumoren in Bild und Text einen verhaltnismaBig breiten Raum ein auf Kosten der hinlanglich bekannten haufigeren Formen, bei denen Spezia1fragen der Differenti- diagnostik aufgrund neuester Erkenntnisse im Vordergrund stehen.

Download or read book MRI of Rectal Cancer written by Arnd-Oliver Schäfer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oncology in general has seen vast advancements over recent years. Improved und- standing of tumor biology, multidisciplinary team decisions and an individualized therapy are cornerstones of treatment planning for cancer patients today. These dev- opments have challenged the imaging community with ever more specifc questions on tumor detection, staging and therapy control. Whereas this evolution applies to many tumor entities, rectal cancer takes an outstanding role, as it was the recognition of certain anatomical and pathological features of the disease, with the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that induced radiology not only to aid in disease mana- ment, but in fact to be a powerful engine for new concepts in rectal cancer treatment. The continuous improvement of highly specialized MRI and the groundbreaking scientifc contributions of radiologists all over the world have paved the way for s- stantial refnements of this technique during the last decade. Consequently, dedicated imaging protocols for routine diagnostic work-up of r- tal cancer patients are now available, which can guide multidisciplinary team de- sions and, in combination with optimized surgery and chemoradiotherapy, lead to longer survival and a better quality of life. Besides the scientifc advances, the enduring clinical success of MRI in the feld of rectal cancer is highly contingent upon expertise. To this end, ongoing education and continuous training are vital.

The core of the book presents What is known about the toxicology of the herbicides used in greatest quantities in Vietnam. What is known about assessing exposure to herbicides and dioxin. What can be determined from the wide range of epidemiological studies conducted by different authorities. What is known about the relationship between exposure to herbicides and dioxin, and cancer, reproductive effects, neurobehavioral disorders, and other health effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 2000 examines the state of the scientific evidence regarding associations between diseases and exposure to dioxin and other chemical compounds in herbicides used in Vietnam. It is the fourth in a series of comprehensive reviews of epidemiologic and toxicologic studies of the agents used as defoliants during the Vietnam War. Over forty health outcomes in veterans and their children are addressed. Among the report's conclusions is that there is sufficient evidence of a link between exposure and the development of soft-tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and chloracne in veterans. Additionally, it found that scientific studies offer "limited or suggestive" evidence of an association with other diseases in veteransâ€"including Type 2 diabetes, respiratory cancers, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma and some forms of transient peripheral neuropathyâ€"as well as the congenital birth defect spina bifida in veterans' children.
