ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical pathologic features and treatment scheme of primary bronchial carcinoid tumor.Methods Twenty-one cases with primary bronchial carcinoid tumors were selected as our subjects.Clinical information was recorded.Of 21 patients,17 cases were undergone surgery including 12 cases for lobectomy,2 cases for pneumonectomyin,1 case for pulmonary wedge resection and 1 case for egmental resection;Three cases were received adjuvant chemotherapy,1 case for adjuvant and radiation therapy and chemotherapy and 1 case for chemotherapy only.Results Histological classification showed that 7 cases were typical carcinoid,and other 14 cases were atypical carcinoid.Nine cases were TNM stage I,8 cases at stage Ⅱ,1 case at stage Ⅲ,3 cases at stage Ⅳ.All cases were performed follow-up for 5 years.Nineteen cases survived at 1st year and 10 cases survived at 3rd years survival.5 years survival rate was 23.8％ (5/21).Conclusion Surgical operation is proved to be the main method for treating bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors,and surgical radical operation was recommended.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between pancreatic cancer (PC) and diabetes mellitus (DM),and the clinical and pathological features of pancreatic cancer in patients with DM.MethodsFrom January,2008 to December,2010,151 patients with PC and 195 comparable patients without PC were enrolled in a case-control study to analyze the relationship between PC and DM.ResultsThe OR was 5.91 (95％ CI 3.03-8.00,P＜0.05) in PC patients with DM for less than 2 years,and 1.308 (95％ CI 0.37-4.60,P＞0.05) in patients with DM for 2 to 5 years,and 1.16(95％ CI 0.44-3.19,P＞0.05) for patients with DM for more than 5 years.There was no significant difference between PC patients with and without DM in gender,age,body-mass index (BMD,obstructive jaundice,tumour location and tumour metastases (P＞0.05).ConclusionsThere was a significant correlation between PC and DM.De novo DM may be a clinical manifestation in patients with PC.PC patients with concurrent DM have no particular clinical and pathological features.
