[Neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy of rectal cancer: our experience].

Postoperative chemoradiotherapy is the recommended standard therapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. In recent years, encouraging results with preoperative radiotherapy have been reported. From 2000 at January 2005 we treated 11 patient and our results suggest that preoperative radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy increases the chances of tumor downstaging and downsizing and facilitates sphincter-sparing surgical procedures.

[Thyroid microcarcinoma: our experience].

The thyroid microcarcinoma is definited differentiated carcinoma of max 1 cm in diameter. We have reviewed clinical and histopathological results of 54 consecutive patients with papillary and follicular thyroid microcarcinoma and operated in the our clinic in the period 1985 to 2004. Several variables, such as older age, multifocality, bilateral disease, and extrathyroidal spread at initial assessment, may have some adverse prognostic significance. We recommend total thyroidectomy accompanied by modified neck dissection if enlarged nodes are diagnosed.
