Actinomycin D in Wilm's Tumour: Treatment of Lung Metastases.

This paper discusses recent world trends in the treatment of Wilms' tumour, particularly as exemplified by their impact on practice at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Following the use of actinomycin D in the therapy of lung metastases of Wilms' tumour (see below), it became apparent that this drug was able, at times, to inhibit their growth and, more rarely, to cause their complete r...

Primary pulmonary solitary fibrous tumour with brain metastases.

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of subendothelial origin that can be found in all anatomical locations, but rarely in the lungs. A 71-year old female was referred to our hospital because of the increase in size of a solitary pulmonary mass. Chest contrast-enhanced dynamic computed tomography showed a well-circumscribed lobulated mass measuring 3.1×1.6 cm in the posterior...

[Value of tumour resection in colorectal cancer with unresectable metastases].

In spite of the lack of scientific evidence, the resection of primary tumors in asymptomatic patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with unresectable synchronous metastases was a common practice in many centers until the mid-1990s. This method was able to control any possible complications derived from the primary tumor, which occurred in about 20% of patients. Nonetheless, after the implementat...
