Endometrical cancer metastases in the region of abdominal muscles and pelvic wall.

We present a case of surgical removal of solitary metastases in the region of anterior and lateral pelvic wall following primary surgery, pelvic irradiation (external beam-Linac X 6 MV to whole pelvis, followed by intra-vaginal Ir(192)), and adjuvant chemotherapy (carboplatin/adriamycin) in a patient with endometrial adenocarcinoma, FIGO stage IIIA, performed on 3 consecutive recurrences.

The management of T1G3 bladder cancer.

Introduction: The treatment of T1G3 bladder cancer is still a controversial issue.
