Endometrial carcinoma of prostate.

Endometrial carcinoma of the prostate is a unique lesion which contrasts markedly to the more ubiquitous prostatic acinar carcinoma with regard to morphology, clinical manifestations, localization stage at diagnosis, and possibly prognosis. Although endometrial carcinoma of the prostate may occur more commonly than previously recognized, wider recognition and study are essential for further delineation of this lesion. Finally, the inherent limits of endoscopic or of enucleative surgery and the propensity of endometrial carcinoma to present at a low stage suggest in appropriately selected cases that radical prostatectomy or possible external radiotherapy may offer the best opportunity for cure.

The treatment of stages I and II nonseminomatous testicular tumors: the Buffalo experience from 1970 to 1979.

We reviewed our experience in the treatment of stages I and II nonseminomatous testicular tumors to evaluate new trends and improvements in this disease. Of the patients with stage I disease there was a significantly higher percentage of survivors among those who received adjunctive chemotherapy with actinomycin D. Since these patients were not randomized prospectively this observation should be taken only as a suggestion of the possible effectiveness of adjunctive chemotherapy in this group.

Surgical treatment of non-seminomatous germinal testes tumors.

Surgical management of germinal testis tumors other than seminoma is presented. Phase I consists of removal of the primary tumor; phase II, the surgical removal of retroperitoneal metastatic disease, and phase III, surgical management of chest metastasis. Seventy-two patients were explored with the intent of performing a simultaneous bilateral retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
