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)

The authors present a morphological study of 864 ovarian tumors operated of Institute for Mother and Newborn Protection from October 2000 to June 2002. Results indicated that: seven hundred and seven cases are tumors (16.0%) and 18 cases are low malignant potential tumors. The great majority of benign tumors were detected under 45 years old. The great majority of benign tumors were less than 9cm in diameter.

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.

We investigated the modified Bevan’s approach for operations of adrenal tumors. A prospective analysis was performed on 26 patients with adrenal tumors seen at Cho Ray hospital between 1/1/1993 to 31/12/1998. The intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were 7.7% and 19.2% respectively; no mortality. The advantage of the modified Bevan’s incision is good for exposure of adrenal, for control of the inferior vena cava and the aorta, and satisfactory for the management of the intraoperative complications.

Between 1/1994 and 12/2000, 52 patients with 53 adrenal tumors were operated in the Department of Urology - Viet Duc Hospital. Through subcostal approach, the initial control of the main adrenal veins and arteries was performed in 84.6% cases (71% in the right and 100% in the left adrenal tumors). Hemodynamic is maintained at the first day of postoperative period (88.5%). The outcome was good in 96.2% of cases, exception for one death at the third postoperative day by acute adrenal failure and another from prolonged hypertension. No early hemorrhage was observed in the postoperative period. Improved surgical outcomes have been the result of advances in localization techniques, preoperative medical management and anesthetic practice.

A study on 3 patients with Klaskin tumor (male: 2, female: 1) in strasbourg, France during 1996-1997 has shown that the diagnosis involved in the clinical examination, biochemical and functional test, tumor markers, hepatobiliary ultrasound, hepatic angiography; the surgical treatment included the local tumor resection, combination of local tumor resection and PTI resection, local tumor resection + PTI resection + liver resection and anastomosis.

The author reviewed 34 patients of invasive bladder cancer operated by many methods at Kh¸nh Hßa hospital. He knows that the patients treated by the Camey operation had better result than by Bricker one on survival time, postoperative complications and quality of life. The authors concluded that the Camey operation can be performed in provincial hospitals.

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.
