Fukushima Outpatient Pharmacotherapy Model for Breast Cancer.

The Fukushima Model of Outpatient Pharmacotherapy for Breast Cancer was developed to improve the pharmacological treatment of patients with breast cancer in the vast region of Fukushima Prefecture. This model addresses the challenges posed by the area's lower-than-average density of breast cancer specialists. In the core medical institutions of the prefecture's most populous municipalities, we introduced a telephone consultation service managed by pharmacists at local dispensing pharmacies.

[A case of rectum metastasis of breast cancer].

A 53-year-old woman visited the hospital of this study complaining of constipation. Colonoscopy revealed a circumferential tumor with severe stenosis, and a computed tomography scan showed neoplastic lesions in the rectum and right breast area. Histology was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, requiring differentiation between type 4 and metastatic rectal cancer.

[A Case of Emergency Radiotherapy for Intramedullary Spinal Cord Metastasis from Breast Cancer].

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis(ISCM)is rare. However, with advances in diagnostic imaging, the incidence of ISCM is increasing. We herein present a case of breast cancer metastasis in the lower thoracic spinal intramedullary area in a patient who was then successfully treated with emergency radiotherapy.

[Four Patients Who Underwent Proton Beam Therapy after Debulking Surgery and Omental Wrapping of the Residual Tumor as a Spacer for Unresectable Local Recurrence of Rectal Cancer].

We report 4 patients who underwent proton beam therapy after debulking surgery for unresectable local recurrence of rectal cancer. Case 1: A 55-year-old man underwent radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy for local recurrence; however, the lesion exhibited evident regrowth. Combination therapy of debulking surgery, omental wrapping of the residual tumor as a spacer, and postoperative proton beam therapy was performed.

[Indication for Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Skull Base Accompanied by Cranial Nerve Palsies].

Distant metastasis to the skull base region frequently manifests various cranial nerve symptoms and reduces patients' quality of life(QOL). We report a 62-year-old woman with skull base metastasis of breast cancer, whose condition clinically improved following palliative radiotherapy. The patient presented to our hospital with hoarseness.

Abscopal effect following radiation monotherapy in breast cancer: A case report.

Radiotherapy has been found to be valuable for the control and eradication of local foci in various malignant tumors. The abscopal effect is determined as a systemic antitumor response at a distance from the irradiation site invoked by local irradiation. We herein present an extremely rare case of breast cancer in a 64-year-old woman, in whom the abscopal effect was observed after radiotherapy induced an antitumor response in all metastatic lesions, without any combination therapy.

Neuroendocrine tumor of the extrahepatic bile duct: A case report.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the extrahepatic bile ducts are extremely rare neoplasms arising from endocrine cells and have variable malignant potential. They most commonly occur in young females and usually present with painless jaundice.

Presentation Of Case: Here we present the case of an asymptomatic 57-year-old woman with NET of the common bile duct that was incidentally discovered on abdominal ultrasound during a medical examination.

[A Case of Perianal Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Left Inguinal Lymph Node Metastasis That Showed a Complete Response More Than Five Years after Chemotherapy and Concomitant Proton Beam Therapy].

We report a case of perianal squamous cell carcinoma and left inguinal lymph node metastasis that showed a complete response more than 5 years after chemotherapy and concomitant proton beam therapy. A 34-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for an anal tumor and a left inguinal tumor. A digital rectal examination revealed a tumor in the anterior wall of the anal canal.

[An Autopsy Case of Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy That Progressed Slowly during Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer].

A man in his 50s presented to our hospital for anemia and was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastases. He underwent gastrojejunostomy and received postoperative chemotherapy. Despite stable disease with chemotherapy, he complained of cough and respiratory discomfort and was subsequently admitted with progressive respiratory distress.

[A Case of an Abdominal Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor with Metastasis in the Medulla Oblongata].

A desmoplastic small round cell tumor(DSRCT)is a very rare malignant tumor that mainly occurs in the intra-abdominal cavity in young adults.This neoplasm has an extremely poor prognosis, with a clinical course characterized by rapid progression and metastasis.We present a 31-year-old man who presented with chief complaints of dysphagia, ataxic gait, and hoarseness.

Arteriovenous malformation of the pancreas: a case report.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the pancreas is uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of AVM of the pancreatic head in a 59-year-old male. He was admitted to a hospital with hematemesis and tarry stool and referred to our hospital in March 2014 on the diagnosis of pancreatic artery pseudoaneurysm.

Intrahepatic splenosis in a chronic hepatitis C patient with no history of splenic trauma mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Intrahepatic splenosis (IHS) is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue that mostly develops after abdominal injury and is often misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because of similarities in radiological features. We had an opportunity to treat an extremely rare case of intrahepatic splenosis, which were found in a patient without any history of splenic injury. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case report in the world.
