Objetivo: Comparar parámetros clinico-patológicos, quirúrgicos y datos de sobrevida actuarial a 5 años en pacientes con cáncer de estómago sometidos a gastrectomía. Material y métodos: Es un estudio retrospectivo realizado en el Hospital de Belén del 1&ordm; de enero de 1966 al 31 de diciembre de 1991. Fueron incluidos 69 pacientes con tipo histológico intestinal y 68 de tipo difuso. El estadío clínico se determinó según la clasificación TNM de la UICC. Resultados: El tipo histológico intestinal fue mas frecuente que el difuso en los pacientes mayores de 40 años (p<0.0001), y en las neoplasias < 5 cm. (p<0.05). No hubo diferencia significativa entre estos dos grupos de pacientes con respecto al sexo, masa abdominal palpable, localización significativa entre estos dos grupos de pacientes con respecto al sexo, masa abdominal palpable, localización p...

The analysis presented on 2,151 patients with cervical cancer and blood group, it is not positive to support him any correlation. The figures show almost a similar distribution to the one with the rest of the "normal population", and exactly superimposed with the statistics reported by Dr. Velasco in 8,610 women who have another disease but not cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE.- To determine the clinico pathologic picture, recurrence rate and prognostic factors influencing 5-year survival o breast cancer MATERIAL: Retrospective analysis of 39 patients with invasor operable breast cancer with negative axillary nodes who underwent Halsted (n=29) or Patey (n = 10) radical mastectomy between 1966 and 1995. LOCATI0N.Belen Hospital, Trujillo, Peru. RESULTS. Median age was 49 years and the mean time of history was 9,8 months. There were 20 postmenopausal and 19 premenopausal patients. The most frequent symptoms were tumor (100%) and pain (25,6%). The left breast (66,7%) and upper-outer quadrant (48,7%) were the most affected. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (89,8%) was the most frequent histologic type. The 5-year local and distance recurrence rates were 15,44 and 20,5%, respectively. In the total series, the 5-year actuarial survival rate was 76% Using the u...

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prognostic significance of the state of estrogen receptor (ER) and identify prognostic factors related to the five-year survival in patients with operable breast cancer with negative axillary nodes (CMOGAN). DESIGN: Retrospective. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 37 patients undergoing CMOGAN classical radical mastectomy (n = 28) or modified (n = 9) is evaluated in the Bethlehem Hospital from 1966 to 1995. estrogen receptor status was determined according to immunohistochemical method standard. RESULTS: The mean age was 48 ± 11.1 years. Four cases it had thirty-three stage I and stage II. Seven cases were ER (+) and thirty RE (-). In patients with ER (-) by univariate analysis using the log-rank test, only the type of mastectomy was significantly related to the five-year survival (p = 0.046). In the multivariate Cox analysis, histological grade (p = 0.0361), nuclear g...

Clinical and pathological factors related with survival and relapse in 54 patients with clinical stages I and LF breast cancer treated with Halsted mastectomy at Hospital Belen (Trujillo Perú) between January 1966 and December 1982 are studied retrospectively. Up to December 1992, mean follow-up was 165,2 months for the 28 survivors (range 125 to 288 months). Total survival at 10 years was 52,8%. Local recurrence occurred in 20,4% in about 32,6 months. None of the patients with rib wall recurrence survived more than 10 years. Nineteen cases (35,2%) bad distant metastases, most frequently to lungs and lymph nodes. Our findings indicate that age, time of disease,  menopause and localization of tumor did not influence prognosis. Total survival and local or distant metastases bad significant correlation with tumor size and clinical stage. There was inverse relationship between number of po...

Objetivo: Identificar el cuadro clínico - patológico y algunos factores pronósticos que influyen en la sobrevida actuarial a 5 años. Material y métodos: Analizamos retrospectivamente información de 44 adultos portadores de sarcomas de partes blandas tratados en el Hospital Belén, Perú, desde 1967 a 1994. La estimación de la sobrevida fue hecha por el método de Kaplan - Meier y en el análisis univariado utilizamos el test de log - rank. Resultados: La edad promedio fue de 46 ± 19 años (límites, 16 a 85 años). Hubo 21 hombres y 23 mujeres (H:M, 0,9:1). Las molestias más frecuentes fueron tumor y dolor local. Las localizaciones más afectadas fueron las extremidades inferiores (52%) y superiores (21%). De acuerdo a la clasificación UICC, 48% de los casos estuvieron en estadio II. 23 % en estadio III, 18 % en estadio IV y 11 % en estadio I. Los tipos histológicos ...
