Article Synopsis
- The study examined changes in the rates of malignant melanoma (MM) in the Seine-Maritime region over 20 years, using data from private and hospital-based histopathology labs.
- The incidence of MM rose significantly from 8.6 to 21.2 cases per 100,000 people, while the mortality rate increased from 1.3 to 2.8 per 100,000, with a notable rise in in situ cases.
- Over the last decade, the growth in invasive MM incidence and mortality slowed, especially among women, while in situ cases surged, indicating a shift in melanoma trends.
Background: The benefits of preoperative chemotherapy and radiation for esophageal carcinoma are under investigation. A pilot study was undertaken to determine if pathologic assessment of tumor regression correlated with disease free survival.
Methods: Ninety-three resected specimens from patients treated with cis-dichloro-diamino cisplatin and irradiation before surgery were examined on semiserial sections.
The authors describe a method for sampling and embedding of oesophagectomy specimens which permits the study of the entire oesophagus with a minimum number of sections. Good localization of the lesions is achieved, and the simplicity of this method (accordion fold) makes it suitable for routine use.
