Multivariate explanatory model for sporadic carcinoma of the colon in Dukes' stages I and IIa.

Objective: We obtained before an explanatory model with six dependant variables: age of the patient, total cholesterol (TC), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), VLDL cholesterol (VLDL-C), alkaline phosphatase (AP) and the CA 19.9 tumour marker. Our objective in this study was to validate the model by means of the acquisition of new records for an additional analysis.

[CA 19.9 and HDL-cholesterol behaviour in a sporadic colorectal carcinoma sample].

Background And Objective: We have carried out a comparative prediction analysis in sporadic colorectal carcinoma of plasmatic lipids and currently tumor markers used in this neoplasia (carcinoembrionary antigen - CEA, CA 19.9 and sialic acid -SA).

Patients And Methods: Transversal hospital-based case-control study.

[Mondor's disease: study of two topographic localizations].

Superficial thoracic wall and dorsal vein of the penis phlebitis are uncommon diseases. Both are known as Mondor's disease. Two cases have been diagnosed in a short period of time in a Southern.
