[Management of rectal cancer in pregnant women].

We relate 2 cases reports about rectal cancer and pregnancy. This association is rare but is a real problem of management because diagnosis is done latly and it mate have incompatibility between treatments and pregnancy. A medical bibliography has been done, to define the best medical procedure in function of the disease staging and the pregnancy term.

Prospective comparison of 3 gamma-probes for sentinel lymph node detection in 200 breast cancer patients.

Unlabelled: Previous reports have shown that axillary sentinel lymph node (ASLN) radiodetection allows accurate axillary staging for patients with early breast cancer. Radioguided surgery implies the use of a gamma-probe to count the emitted radioactivity of marked ASLNs. Several gamma-probes are commercially available, each with its own properties.

[Locoregional recurrence of ovarian cancer: the place of surgery].

Standard therapy for advanced ovarian cancer includes cytoreductive surgery associated with platin based chemotherapy. Secondary surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer remains controversial. Actually there is not randomized trial based on this question.

Validation of axillary sentinel lymph node detection in the staging of early lobular invasive breast carcinoma: a prospective study.

Background: Previous reports have shown that regional lymph node involvement in patients with early-stage breast carcinoma can be evaluated by resection of axillary sentinel lymph nodes (ASLN). Axillary lymphadenectomy may be unnecessary in the absence of ASLN involvement. In the current study, the authors compared the results of ASLN resection in patients with lobular invasive carcinoma (LIC) with the results from patients with ductal invasive carcinoma (DIC) in terms of detection rates and false-negative rates.
