[News from the French cancer registry of Doubs (author's transl)].

Cancer Registry of Doubs (471 845 h, 5 260 km2), an area located in east part of France close the Swiss frontier, gave cancer rates in 1977 and 1978, for male and female, for urban and rural areas, with interesting comparisons with death in the period. Histological information was available in a percentage of 0.88, cases variable with different locations. It is possible to analyse the different histological sub types and grading among some cancer sites (gastric, large bowel, bronchus). Different modalities of treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, hormono and immunotherapy) applied to the 2 783 cases of cancer are analysed.

[Germinoma (ectopic pinealoma) with double location : supra-sellar and the cerebellum without pineal tumour (author's transl)].

The now nine years old girl with growth retardation, started to be ill with otitis and then diabetes insipidus of central origin at 1974. A treatment with lysin-vasopressin is prescribed. The PNEG in May 1976 shows a little, pea like, suspicious, supra-sellar nodule who is not surgically explored since they was no ophtalmologic symptoms and because a normal CT scan. Corticoid and thyroid substitutive therapy is added until September 1977 when the general status becomes impaired and vomiting starts. Also because some visual loss, a new neuroradiological study is performed showing a supra-sellar tumour and a fourth ventricle mass. The CT scan asserts the double intracranial expansive process and a posterior fossa craniotomy is done with subtotal resection of a vermian tumour and Torkildsen drainage. The histology is : Immature Dysembryoma (seminoma type) or germinoma. The follow-up was good under hormonal care. X Rays Therapy over the posterior fossa, the suprasellar region, the brain and the spinal channel was instaured. Four months later, the CT scan shows normal sized ventricles and no tumour mass at all. This case gives the authors opportunity for comments and to study the concerned literature.

[Prevention of caries and osteonecrosis through daily local fluoridation in radiotherapy patients].

The healthy dentition of 432 patients treated by radiotherapy for ENT and salivary gland lesions was preserved and subjected to a programme of strict hygiene and daily local fluoride application using a gel containing 1% of sodium fluoride. Effectiveness in terms of the prevention of caries was satisfactory. Caries developed in only 7% of the patients. None of the patients in whom there was a clear indication and who followed treatment carefully to an extent greater than 70% suffered decay. Thorough initial assessment, and very careful selection of cases should make it possible in the future to avoid the majority of sources of failure observed. The prevalence of osteo-necrosis secondary to dental preservation was 1.2%, identical to the prevalence of trophic complications seen in patients who underwent total extraction before radiotherapy. The technique of fluoride application is simple, with no risk of toxicity, but must be continued indefinitely. Preservation of the dentition must be undertaken only with the close cooperation of the responsible medical and odontological teams, the latter being responsible for the initial assessment, care and surveillance. Preservation of a healthy dentition together with the possibility of early fitting of a prosthesis if necessary contribute to the rapid functional rehabilitation of patients irradiated for malignant disease in the ENT area.

[Systematic preservation of teeth and prophylaxis of dental decay on irradiated patients].

200 patients were irradiated on the oral cavity and on salivary glands with doses of 3,000 Rads and up. Teeth were preserved. A prophylactic treatment of dental decay was made using 5 minutes daily a fluoride gel into a carrier. The results showed an incidence of 5% for dental decay and 1% for osteo-radionecroses. Details are given about the selection of patients, the dental work-up and dental care before, during and after radiation therapy.
