[Evidence-based colorectal cancer screening].

Colorectal cancer has been identified as an appropriate candidate for early detection and treatment of both asymptomatic individuals and those at risk of the disease. The lifetime incidence of colorectal cancer among persons at average risk is sufficiently high to justify screening the general population. This review presents the latest strategies employed in early detection of the colorectal cancer. An ideal screening test should satisfy some basic criteria: must be simple, secure, accepted by the population with valid and reproductive results. Despite the demonstrated benefits of colorectal cancer screening, incidence and mortality rates of this common cancer remain high. More optimally tailored screening tools are needed that combine the features of a potentially ideal screening test.

[Differentiated thyroid cancer--staging and prognostic systems].

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), including papillary and follicular carcinoma with histological variants, has an excellent prognosis; nevertheless a subset of these tumours is clinically aggressive and, in some patients, fatal. Treatment of DTC remains controversial, regarding the extent of primary surgical resection, the need for lymph node dissection and the role of postoperative radioactive iodine ablation. In addition to the widely accepted TNM classification, recognition of significant risk factors and developing of staging systems, such as AMES, AGES, MACIS, MSKCC and NTCTCS, has helped to identify the patients with a potential aggressive course of the disease and high risk of recurrence. This has allowed the development of a rational and selective approach to therapy, thus, avoiding excessive treatment and subsequent morbidity without compromising the oncological outcome.

[The diagnosis and treatment of benign tumors of the subdiaphragmatic digestive tract].

One hundred twenty-two benign tumors of subdiaphragmatic digestive tract admitted in the interval 1975-1988 at the III-rd Surgical Clinic of Iaşi are reported. Out of these patients 120 required surgical treatment, the remainder of 2 being treated conservatively (diffuse intestinal angiomatosis, Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome). The clinical evolution being atypical, the surgical intervention was required, in most of the cases, due to hemorrhagic and occlusive complications. Histologically, the polyps and schwannomas were prevalent. The diagnostic difficulties, especially in the cases with jejuno-ileal localization, are mentioned.
