Prevention of tumour seeding following thoracoscopy in mesothelioma by prophylactic radiotherapy.

To determine the usefulness of prophylactic radiotherapy following thoracoscopy or pleural aspiration in patients with mesothelioma we reviewed the case notes of patients treated at St Mary's Hospital between 1990 and 1994. Twenty patients have received treatment to 38 sites and tumour seeding was prevented in all patients available for follow-up. Four patients acted as their own controls by developing nodules at untreated sites. Prophylactic radiotherapy is highly effective in preventing tumour seeding in mesothelioma.

Occult glucose intolerance: incidence in a general population.

A survey of two-hour postprandial glycemic responses to an oral dose of 100 gm of glucose was conducted in 456 appparently healthy adult members of a small Southern California community. Serum glucose levels of 32 per cent of the men and 36 per cent of the women exceeded 140 mg per 100 ml at the two-hour sampling period. In both sexes, there was a tendency for hyperglycemia to become more conspicuous with age. Under the age of 50, a much higher percentage of women than men had seemingly excessive serum glucose values. These findings may suggest a need for modifying criteria currently used for interpreting glycemic responses to oral glucose challenges.
