Primary adenocarcinoma in a colonic 'oesophageal' segment.

A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the colon in a segment used to reconstruct after an oesophageal resection is reported. The original lesion was a relatively advanced adenocarcinoma of the gastro-oesophageal junction. An ACPS 'C' colon carcinoma was diagnosed 12 years later. A curative resection was achieved. The literature is reviewed in regard to late complications in colonic interpositions, including primary carcinomas.

Factors influencing prognosis in gastric cancer.

In a group of 322 patients with adenocarcinoma of the stomach, 158 underwent resection. The only 5 year survivors came from the resection group. Increasing age, lymph node metastases and increasing depth of invasion of the gastric wall were all adverse prognostic features. There was a high incidence (19%) of resected patients who had suture line involvement. In spite of this there were 5 year survivors among those patients with suture line involvement and also those with lymph node involvement. The judicious implementation of an aggressive resection policy will give patients with favourable tumours the chance of a 5 year cure without involving patients with widespread neoplasm in radical surgery. Patients who had undergone previous gastric surgery for any cause had an extremely bad prognosis. Improvement in 5 year survival rates in patients undergoing resection for gastric cancer could be attributed to the increase in the number of patients with early gastric cancer.

A prospective study of gastric and oesophageal carcinoma.

A prospective study of carcinoma of the stomach and oesophagus has been carried out for 2 1/2 years. Seventy-three cases of carcinoma of the stomach, and 16 cases of carcinoma of the oesophagus have been documented. For carcinoma of the stomach, operability rate was 72-6% and resectability rate was 41-9%; overall survival was poor, 20-9% at 12 months. For those who underwent resection, survival at 12 months was 45-5%. No cases of early gastric cancer are among those studied. For carcinoma of the oesophagus, four patients had a resection, and only one has survived for more than 12 months. In the clinical sphere there is a need for early endoscopic as well as radiological investigation of dyspeptic symptoms. In the research field there is a need for studies of chemotherapy in combination with surgery in the initial treatment of gastric carcinoma.
