[Colorectal cancer in the young adult: comments on a sample of 33 patients operated on with the goal to cure].

A retrospective study of the overall cases operated for colorectal cancer is reported. Subgroups of patients comparable for staging and grading, over 45 years of age and younger than 45 years, radically operated from January 1984 to June 1989, were analyzed in order to evaluate survival and prognosis in younger subjects. A favourable trend in relation to three-year prognosis was registered in younger patients (73% vs. 65%).

[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the pancreas].

The authors report a case of pancreatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma (approximately 22 cm). Clinical and instrumental approach for preoperative diagnosis is discussed and the anatomopathological features of the lesion, which is rarely localized in the pancreatic gland, are stressed. Surgical treatment is outlined as well.

Indications, procedures and results in the surgical treatment of hyperthyroidism: a follow-up of 336 cases.

A personal experience with the surgical treatment of hyperfunctioning thyroid diseases from 1970 throughout 1982 is reported. Data on 336 controlled cases are analyzed. The series reported is homogeneous as for indications, surgical procedures, pre and postoperative management. Total lobectomy has proved to be the therapy of choice for uninodular lesions: all followed patients (208) are euthyroid. Subtotal or "near-total" thyroidectomy was curative in 71,8% of multinodular and basedowified goiters, as well as in Graves' disease. For the latter, indications of total thyroidectomy in selected cases are being evaluated. Further studies to complete the follow-up of the series are in progress.

Thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer: a report on eight operated cases.

Eight cases of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, representing 0.96% of overall hyperfunctioning thyroid diseases (835), surgically treated are reported. Clinical and pathological data, and type of treatment are summarized. The etiopathogenic hypotheses about possible relations between thyrotoxicosis and thyroid cancer are discussed. In the presence of thyrotoxicosis, preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer is rather difficult, but awareness of the potential association and careful examination of any suspect nodularity make it possible to recognize minimal malignant foci and adequately treat them with total thyroidectomy and, when required, modified neck dissection.
