Abstract

Indicators of the relative contribution of epidermis and dermis to the pathogenesis of psoriasis may be obtained from clinical observation. We studied a case of clinically characteristic and histologically identifiable plaque of chronic psoriasis occurring over transitional cell carcinoma metastatic to the dermis. The tumor substantially replaced the usual fibrous structure of the dermis, showing that a normally structured dermis is not requisite for the presence of psoriasis.

Trimodality treatment and selective organ preservation for bladder cancer.

Standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer is cystectomy. Trimodality treatment, including transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), radiation therapy and chemotherapy, has been shown to produce survival rates comparable to those of cystectomy. With these programs, cystectomy has been reserved for patients with incomplete response or local relapse. During the past 15 years, organ preservation by trimodality treatment has been investigated in prospective series from single centers and cooperative groups, with more than 1,000 patients included. Five-year overall survival rates in the range of 50% to 60% have been reported, and approximately three quarters of the surviving patients maintained their bladder. Clinical criteria helpful in determining ideal patients for bladder preservation include early tumor stage (including high-risk T1 disease), a visibly complete TURBT, and absence of ureteral obstruction. Close coordination among all disciplines is required to achieve optimal results. Future investigations will focus on (1) optimizing radiation techniques and incorporating more effective systemic chemotherapy, and (2) the proper selection of patients based on molecular makers.
