From March 2000 to October 2001, 26 cancer patients of the cardiac region were registered to our study. Most patients were in advanced stage, apparently showed an impaired immunity both local and systemic. 20/21 (95%) cases of positive mutant P53 protein were detected at the tumor. Post operative adjuvant therapy with Aslem tend to increase the survival rate after resection (60.61% of the treated group compared with 33.33% of the untreated group)

To report the efficacy and safety of transsphenidal approach in a series of patients with pituitary adenoma, ninety-one consecutive patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery of a pituitary adenoma at neurosurgical department, Cho Ray Hospital from January 2001 to June 2003 were included in this study. Postoperative results were analyzed. Total removal rate was 24.2% and partial removal rate was 7.7%. There were 4 patients had rhenorrhea and meningitis. Two patients died because of surgery. Normalization of visual defect was good. Transsphenoidal surgery is an effective and safe treatment for most patients with pituitary adenoma and could be considered the first choice therapy in most of the cases. Sublabial transseptal approach is suitable for our conditions.

The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed at Hospital K from January 1995 to December 1999 on 171 patients with gastric cancer. Among them, 110 had had fully information about their status. 31% had got 5 years old survival ability with the mean survival duration of 40 months. Post operative prognostic significant factors: the level of invasion of tumor, 5 years old survival ability minimized progressively from T1 to T4 reached 100%, 39%, 18% and 0%, glandular metastasis and distant meastasis which affected to survival duration; the tumor of a size < 5cm had got better prognosis versus that of > 5cm of size and 10cm of size; prognosis was better with higher differentiated type of cells than those of lower defferentiated type; prognosis was better in intestinal type than in dispersing type. The age, the gender, the weight loss were not related to postoperative survival duration.

Background: Lewis surgery has been applied in the Department of Digestive Surgery, Viet-Duc hospital since 1991 and became routine surgery in the treatment of the lower two-thirds of the esophagus cancer. Objective: To present Lewis technique and results of operation in treating the lower two-thirds of the esophagus cancer. Subjects and methods: The study was carried out on 90 patients (86 men and 4 women) with the lower two-thirds of the esophagus cancer operated by the Lewis\u2019s technique. The average age of these patients was 52.3 \xb1 9.2. \r\n', u'Results: Disease stages: stage I: 2 cases (2.2%), stage IIA: 23 cases (25.6%), stage IIA: 23 cases (25.6%), stage IIB: 10 cases (11.1%), stage III: 42 cases (46.7%), stage IV: 13 cases (14.4%). There were three cases of postoperative death (5.6%). 34 cases had surgical complications or complications after surgery. The average survival time of patients after surgery was 23.8 months \xb1 2.8. Postoperative survival time of 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years was 58.2%, 39.2%, 23.4% and 12.0% respectively.\r\n', u'Conclusion: Mortality and postoperative complications of the surgery were low. So it should be selected for the treatment of the lower two-thirds of the esophagus cancer. The surgery helped 96.5% of patients to eat normally again. 5-year survival time after surgery was low because of diagnosis and surgery in late stages\r\n', u'\r\n', u'
