This report describes the usefulness of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for evaluating recurrent or residual tumors following surgery. CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT were pre- and post-operatively applied to multiple masses in a dog with hemangiosarcoma. The distinction between the left subcutaneous mass and the peritoneum was clarified on pre-operative CT examination, and malignancy was suspected based on PET-CT. A recurrent or residual tumor in the left subcutaneous region was suspected on post-operative PET-CT, and confirmed through histopathologic examination.

5.Interpretation of Pathologic Margin after Endoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.
Clinical Endoscopy 2016;49(3):229-231
Interpretation of the pathologic margin of a specimen from a resected tumor is important because local recurrence can be predicted by the presence of tumor cells in the resection margin. Although a sufficient resection margin is recommended in the resection of gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma, it is not usually regarded strictly in cases of mesenchymal tumor, especially gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), because the tumor is usually encapsulated or well demarcated, and not infiltrative. Therefore, margin positivity is not rare in the pathological evaluation of surgically or endoscopically resected GIST, and does not always indicate incomplete resection. Although a GIST may have a tumor-positive pathologic margin, complete resection may be achieved if no residual tumor is visible, and long-term survival can be predicted as in the cases with a negative pathologic margin.

6.A New Embedding Method for Optimal Tissue Preparation for Mohs Mierographic Surgery.

BACKGROUND: The principle of Mohs micrographic surgery is to examine microscopically the entire peripheral margin of an excised tissue specimen to precisely localize the site of any residual tumor and enable its subsequent removal. In processing in the tissue for frozen horizontal sections, a technical difficulty arises in manipulating the deep and lateral margins into the same flat plane. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to develop a new method allowing the optimal tissue preperation for Mohs micrographic smgery and to evaluate the usefulness of this methad. METHODS: The technique involves conversion of a non-planar surgical margin to a planar surface by applying and freezing the specimen against a flat glass surface. We compared this modified method used in our laboratory with standard methods for tissue preparation of Mohs micrographic surgery.

In prostate cancer patients without local invasion and metastasis, radical prostatectomy is performed as a rule for the resection of residual cancer. In a few cases, little amount of cancer volume is identified in radical prostatectomy specimens. This finding has been described as 'minimal residual cancer' or 'vanishing cancer phenomenon' and some reports have demonstrated an increase in the incidence of minimal residual prostate cancer. However, only few cases with 'minimal residual cancer' or 'no residual cancer' despite efforts searching for other possibilites have been reported. We report a case of no residual cancer in radical prostatectomy specimens of biopsy-proven prostate cancer.

The authors present a clinical analysis of 96 patients with pituitary adenoma who underwent surgical treatment. These patients were analyzed in terms of preoperative clinical manifestations, size and extension of tumor, therapeutic modalities and changes of neurological and hormonal symptoms. There were marked improvements of neurological and hormonal sympotms, especially of vision and diabetes insipidus, immediately after operation. Transsphenoidal approach was a safe and effective operative method to achieve rapid decompression. Radiation therapy played a important role as a adjuvant therapeutic method to eradicate postoperative residual tumors.

PURPOSE: There are questions about selecting the best postoperative chemotherapeutic regimen for breast cancer patients who have different response rates after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to examine the pathologic findings of residual tumors according to the response rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. METHODS: We obtained specimens of residual tumors from 43 breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by curative operation at the Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Sacred Heart Hospital, between Oct. 2002 and Oct. 2006. Four patients received 3 cycles of FAC (5-FU, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide) and 39 patients received 3 cycles of AT (Adriamycin, Docetaxel). We analyzed the pathologic characteristics according to the response rate. RESULTS: The clinical response rate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 69.8%. There was no significant difference in the response rate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy between the AT and the FAC regimen groups. The tumors of the complete response group showed to be more ER-negative, PR-positive, p53-negative and c-erb-B2-positive and they had a lower Ki-67 staining index than the tumors of the partial response group. Moreover, the tumors of the clinical complete response group showed more triple (ER/PR/c-erb-B2) negative tumor than did the tumors of the partial response group. CONCLUSION: Although the tumor responded to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the pathologic findings of the residual tumors in the clinical complete response group differed from that of the partial response group. So, this should be considered for the selection of postoperative chemotherapeutic agents.

10.Nonfunctional Parathyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report.
The Journal of the Korean Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology 2010;28(2):111-116
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy accounting for 0.5% to 4.0% of all cases of hyperparathyroidism and commonly present as hypercalcemia and parathyroid hormone (PTH) elevation. Nonfunctional parathyroid carcinoma does not show symptoms of hyperparathyroidism and only showed a vague indication of being pathologic, even when detected late. The optimal treatment is en bloc resection of the cancer, but frequent local recurrence after surgery has been reported. Adjuvant local treatment such as radiotherapy may improve the likelihood local control in cases with incompletely resected or microscopic residual tumor. The results of this study point to a case of nonfunctional parathyroid carcinoma treated by external beam radiotherapy after en-bloc resection of cancer.
