RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of the present work is to evaluate Quality of Life in a group of colorectal cancer patients in advanced stages of their disease, along a standard chemotherapy treatment protocol, through the EORTC core questionnaire QLQ-C30 and the colorectal cancer module QLQ-CR38. These two questionnaires had previously been validated in our country. The present study has the novelty of its use during the chemotherapy treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A consecutive sample of 44 colon o rectal cancer patients in stage IV, from an initial group of 46 patients who were addressed, have filled in the questionnaires, in three moments during their treatment process. Clinical and demographic data have also been recorded. Quality of Life scores and changes in them among the three assessments have been calculated. RESULTS: The quality of life scores of patients who have followed the treatment have been >70 points (100) in most dimensions, and has shown similar to the clinical data. Changes of >20 points in the quality of life scores during the treatment process appear in areas related to toxicity, fatigue and insomnia. Quality of life has been stable or has had small changes (between 10 and 20 points) in most dimensions. CONCLUSIONS:Quality of Life in the present sample has been good in general. The treatment has been administered to patients who could tolerate it adequately (AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento. El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar la calidad de vida de un grupo de pacientes con cáncer de mama tras un período de seguimiento largo. Métodos. Ciento cuatro pacientes con cáncer de mama en estadios iniciales, de un total de 125 que se habían contactado, han completado el cuestionario general QLQ-C30 y el módulo de mama QLQ-BR23 de la EORTC en 2001, 5 años después de su diagnóstico. Un subgrupo de 48 habían completado estos cuestionarios en 1996. Se han evaluado las puntuaciones de calidad de vida, las diferencias entre las mediciones de 2001 y 1996 y comparado grupos organizados según estadio, tipo de tratamiento y de cirugía. Resultados. Las puntuaciones de calidad de vida son adecuadas y similares en ambos períodos (1996 y 2001). Hay afectaciones en funcionamiento sexual y preocupación por el futuro. Las diferencias entre tipo de cirugía se centran en la imagen corporal. No hay diferencias significativas en los análisis por estadio o tipo de tratamiento. Conclusiones. Las puntuaciones de calidad de vida indican que la situación de estas pacientes es satisfactoria. Las diferencias en tipo de cirugía están en línea con la literatura (AU)

RESUMO

BASIS: The objective of the present work is to evaluate the quality of life of a group of patients with breast cancer after a long follow-up time. METHODS: 104 patients with breast cancer in initial stages, of a total of 125 to whom the questionnaire was sent, have completed the general questionnaire QLQ-C30 and the module of the breast QLQ-BR23 of the EORTC in 2001, five years after their diagnosis. A subgroup of 48 patients had completed these questionnaires in 1996. The scorings of quality of life and the differences among the measurements of 2001 and 1996 have been evaluated, and groups organized according to the stage, the type of treatment, and the surgery have been compared. RESULTS: The scorings of quality of life are appropriate and similar in both periods (1996 and 2001). There are alterations in the sexual function and concern over the future. The differences between the type of surgery focus on the corporal image. There are not significant differences in the analyses according to the stage or according to the type of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The scorings of quality of life indicate that the situation of these patients is satisfactory. The differences in the type of surgery are similar to the ones observed in the literature.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown cause, characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in many organs. Neurological involvement is rare and only occurs in 5-7% of the patients, usually during the first two years after onset of the disease. The neurological findings vary depending on the site of the lesions. The treatment of choice is with glucocorticoids for at least 6-12 months. Some patients in whom this treatment fails or leads to intolerable side-effects may respond well to immunosuppressive drugs and/or radiotherapy. CLINICAL CASE: We present the case of a 31 year old man who complained of severe headache. He was referred to our department with the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis and progressive neurological deterioration on conventional treatment. Holocranial radiotherapy with Co60 (30 Gy in 10 sessions) was given. Three months after this treatment had been given there was clinical improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Radiotherapy may be an effective alternative when other treatment fails or glucocorticoids cause intolerable toxicity. The recommended dose is between 12 and 30 Gy, divided into 150-300 cgy/day.

RESUMO

Introducción. La herniación medular idiopática es un proceso de diagnóstico infrecuente. Su importancia radica en que es una causa potencialmente reversible de paraparesia si el diagnóstico se obtiene de manera precoz. Nuestro objetivo es aportar un nuevo caso así como revisar la literatura previa, describir los hallazgos radiológicos y comentar las teorías etiopatogénicas. Caso clínico. Presentamos un varón de 56 años con una dificultad para la marcha progresiva atribuida a una estenosis de canal lumbar que no mejoró tras laminectomía. En la exploración se objetivó un déficit motor y sensitivo compatible con un síndrome de Brown-Séquard. Se realizó una RM dorsal que demostró un desplazamiento ventral de la médula torácica con desaparición del espacio subaracnoideo anterior así como un quiste aracnoideo posterior en esa misma localización. Se realizó una nueva intervención en la zona, escindiéndose el quiste pero fue imposible la liberación de la médula por una importante aracnoiditis espinal. La mejoría del enfermo fue escasa. Conclusiones. La herniación medular es una entidad de diagnóstico infrecuente. Tras una exhaustiva revisión de la literatura todos los casos tienen una presentación similar. Clínicamente consiste en un trastorno para la marcha progresivo compatible a la exploración con un síndrome de Brown-Séquard. En la RM se objetiva un brusco desplazamiento ventral de la médula a nivel torácico, en algunos casos con quiste aracnoideo posterior asociado. Cuando la cirugía es eficaz la mejoría clínica es muy importante, por lo que es un diagnóstico a tener en cuenta en toda paraparesia progresiva (AU)
