[The potentials and limits of radiotherapy in benign diseases].

The radiation treatment of benign hypertrophic and hyperplastic, inflammatory and degenerative pathologic processes is nowadays less often used, due to pharmacological advances or to the arrival of newer low-risk therapeutic procedures. Radiotherapy of benign tumors in certain positions is mainly a special indication. Radiotherapy will be used in principle, when all other treatment means have been consumed. An appropriate procedure is necessary, considering the physical factors of radiation: quality, doses, administration timing and in the same time the radiosensitive organs and a careful radioprotection.

[A practical study of the absorbed doses at the level of the organs at risk during the radiotherapy of bronchopulmonary cancer].

The radiotherapy of lung cancer with curative total doses (56-60 Gy), is limited by the presence of critical organs (esophagus, spinal cord). The use of computed TPS (Therapy Planning System) allows to the radiotherapist to calculate the values and to obtain dose distribution to the organs at risk, in the limit of biological tolerance levels. In our work, we present the calculation of the absorbed doses of Co60, at the spinal cord, at a patient with a cancer of the right lung, during irradiation.

[High-risk breast lesions].

Breast lesions with malignant potential are the morphological expression of tissular troubles, foregoing the in situ cancer and then invasive. Breast dysplasia, like fibro-cystic mastosis with typical epithelial ducto-lobular proliferation can progress in a relatively long time interval towards in situ carcinoma. Classical advising, that any breast masses should be regarded as a potential cancer, until it's nature is not pathologically characterized, still remains actual. The clinical and imaging diagnosis for mastopathy at risk and the approaches for a therapeutic manner represent today a real possibility for early treatment.

[Locally advanced breast cancer in the elderly].

The data concerning the influence of old age and locally advanced stages on breast cancer treatment and outcome are lacking or sparse. The authors reviewed treatment modalities in women over 65 years old with locally advanced breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to determine if differences in treatment modalities, clinical stage and pathological type influence the outcome. For patients with locally advanced disease but without over evidence of metastatic disease, radical surgical procedures should be attempted. Most study results confirm that loco-regional therapy and adjuvant chemohormonotherapy is feasible and safe even for older patients.

[Cancer of the cervix uteri in young people].

The age-group distribution, risk factors, histopathological aspects, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 111 diagnosed and/or treated cervical carcinomas in women aged up to 40 years out of 478 cases with the same diagnosis were reviewed. It is considered that the incidence of 23.2% in this series is situated at the extreme of the high frequencies reported in the literature. Nineteen per cent of the cases were diagnosed in stages O and Ia, a well organize program for early detection being required. In our series, the 5-year survival rate was 73.3%. This finding, although in a small series of cases, supports the opinion that age has no influence upon the prognosis of this disease.

[Microwaves hyperthermia. Preliminary experimental results].

AIM: The main aim of this study was to present a way of designing a hyperthermia device based on microwaves, which will be used for cancer treatment in association with radiotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A hyperthermia device with two parts - the electrical part and the mechanical support--was built. The surface temperature distribution was evaluated using a plastic material with micro-pockets filled with water. RESULTS: The experimental results were obtained by measuring the temperature in each micro-pocket. These values helped to evaluate the surface temperature distribution and to delimit the region with useful temperature.

[A glossary of the terms used in psychoanalysis].

The psychoanalytic direction in psychopathology is considered to be necessary as an explanation of concept and methodology for the medical training concerning the study and the care of mental diseases. Irrespective of certain controverted opinions on the fund of concepts of psychoanalysis the consideration of a strict terminology belonging to this direction is necessary. In this respect a concise explanation of the meanings of a set of terms in the comments on some psychopathological states is useful.

[Cases of thyroid cancer irradiated at the Iaşi Radiology-Oncology Clinic (1984-1988)].

The study is based on 35 cases of thyroid cancer treated by external radiotherapy. The analysis of these cases and especially their grouping on clinical stages according to the recent TNM classification reveal the prognostic importance of such factors as the patients' age, histopathological form and the loco-regional and at distance spread.
