54 patients with the cerebellar pontine angle tumor in Bach Mai, Viet Duc, Sainfaul, Hai Ba Trung Hospitals during 1/1998 - 10/2001 participated to a study. The results have shown that most of them were acoustic neurinoma 33/54 (61.1%), next to meningioma 10/54 (18.5%) and other tumors included medulloblastoma: 5(9.2%), astroytoma: 2 (3.7%), hemangioblastoma: 2 (3.7%), metastasis tumor: 1 (1,9%) and nerve V tumor 1 (1.9%). The acoustic neurinoma usually progresses slowly and its initial symptoms included tinitus, hearing loss. An imbalance is the first symptom of expansion of the tumor from cerebella to the pontine angle.

The markers of cancer were generated from cells of cancer or metabolism or immunoresponse to the canceration. For the last 2 decades of 20th century, many markers of cancer used clinically thanks to the development of new clone antibody. By developing the molecular biology. Many genes of cancer, telomere, telomerase, survivin were considered as markers of cancer have been detected for the recent 20 years.

the study included 12 cases of hydropericardium treated at Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Cho Ray Hospital between 2004 and July 2005. Most of them were metastasis of lung cancer, followed is carina ganglion cancer and gastric adenoma. In term of treatment, there was one patient underwent thoracotomy for wide pericardiotomy. The remaining patients were treated by pericardiocenteses. These patients had poor prognosis and low survival rates

A study on 50 patients with dissected gastric cancer in the E hospital has shown that the male-female ratio was 3/2. The gastric cancer rate was increased with age. The cancer in the 1/3 of lower stomach (4-%), mainly in the small curve (36%); size of tumor: 3-6 cm (36%), 6 cm (44%), early detected cancer (8%), late detected cancer (92%), chronic gastritis and atrophy (92%); intestinal heteroplasia and dysplasia (60%). The heteroplasia and dysplasia occurred more frequently in the gastric epithelioma then undifferentied gastric cancer.

The tumor marker CA 72-4 has been determined sera of gastric cancer patients to evaluate its role in the diagnosis and the monitoring of treatment. Adenocarcinoma of the stomach: 68 (38 men, 30 women; age 17-70) Gastric ulcer and gastritis: 10 (male: 8, female: 2; age 30-72). Criteria of diagnosis: cytologic examination. 40 patients have been monitored CA 72-4 during one month after operation. There were high statistical difference of CA 71-4 concentrations between cancer and healthy groups (p< 0.001); but no difference between ulcer and healthy people (p<0.005) has been found. The specificity of CA 72-4 for gastric cancer was 100%; sensitivity: 73.53%; Positive predictive value: 100%; Negative predictive value: 35.7%. 77.5% of cases had decreased levels of CA 72-4 after surgery. But in 4 cases, the increased concentrations of this marker correlated with residual tumor. The results showed that CA 72-4 proved to be specific and sensitive in the diagnosis and prognosis and monitoring of surgical treatment of gastric cancer.

Study was conducted cross on the sections from 3cm and 5cm of tumor upper edge of 125 patients with gastric carcinoma. Results: the percentage of existence of tissue cancer at the section that above the tumors 3cm and 5cm was 20.8% and 10.4%, respectively. The percentage of existence of tissue cancer at the cross section 3cm and 5cm was higher than invasive type in comparison with intestinal type (28.3% vs 16.5% and 15.2% vs 7.6%), in undifferentiated carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and Signet-ring cell carcinoma comparison with duct carcinoma (36.8%, 37.5% and 26.3% vs 9.7% at cross section 3cm and 21.1%, 18.8% and 10.5% vs 3.2% at cross section 5cm), in tumors with diameter >2cm and ≤5cm comparison with tumors ≤2cm (27% vs 7.1% at cross section 3cm and 14.3% vs 0% at cross section 5cm), in invasive carcinoma of sero comparison with shorter invasive carcinoma and at last in carcinoma of gland metastasis comparison with tumors without gland metastasis (4.7% vs 11.4% at cross section 3cm and 16.7% vs 4.5% at cross section 5cm).

Research at Tu du hospital from 1998 to 2004 on 212 ovarian tumors with 48 ovarian cancers, from 16 to 82 years of age. Anapathology result: epithelial tumors (72,91%) are the most common with serious and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas; germ cell tumors (18,75%) had the second rank composed mainly of mixed germ cell tumors, endodermal sinus tumors and immature teratomas. 3 cases of genital stromatic tumor include all granuloma One case of krukenberg tumors. During the period 1998 to 2000, 50% of ovarian cancers are detected at an early stage I and II. This proportion has increased to 58% in the period from 2002 to 2004

All patients with ovarian tumors which were indicated for surgery at Tu Du Hospital were underwent ultrasound scan as a routine test. The ultrasound scan results were compared with the pathology results to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound. There were 100 patients recruited for this study, in which 19 malignant tumors. According to Tokyo University classification, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound were 82.4% and 79%, respectively. According to the authors' classification, they were 82.8% and 88%. The sensitivity and specificity of Doppler ultrasound reached optimal value at RI < 0.5 and at PI < 1. Serious carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma had the highest prevalence (52.62%). Ultrasound could be used as a diagnostic and screening test for ovarian cancer
