ABSTRACT
Objectives. Local recurrence after distal rectal cancer surgery is a major complication with an increased morbidity and mortality. The therapeutic strategy consists in a complex association of radiochemotherapy
with surgical approach that may improve prognosis and quality of life. It is necessary to identify the risk factors for local recurrence and to have a highly-selected patients for oncological radical treatment.
Materials and methods. The study included the analysis of 79 patients with middle and lower rectal cancer who were diagnosed and operated at Coltea Clinic Surgical Clinic Hospital, Bucharest, for a period of
4 years. Male patients were more frequent (64.4%). The average age was 65 years old. The surgical strategy included 33 patients (41.8%) who underwent abdominoperineal resection, 36 patients (45.6%) who underwent low anterior resection with stapled colorectal anastomosis and 10 patients (12.75) who underwent ultralow anterior resection.
Results. Local recurrence rate was 12.7%. The mean time from surgery until the time of discovery of local recurrence was 14.5 months. Local recurrence was associated with advanced tumor stages T3 (10.1%) and T4 (2.5%). It was also associated with histopathological features related to serous infiltration (100%) and tumor invasion of the radial margins (3.8%). The surgical treatment strategy consisted of abdominoperineal resection, permanent colostoma and R2 resections.
Discussion. The radical surgical resection is the most significant prognostic factor. There are a number of other patient-related factors and tumor-related factors that can significantly influence the evolution and overlall survival. Periodic clinical, imaging scans and colonoscopy follow-ups are able to early detect the tumor recurrence and to allow a curative cancer treatment.
Conclusions. Local recurrence after mid and lower rectal cancer surgery is a major complication with direct impact on morbidity, mortality, prognosis and quality of life of these patients. The treatment strategy
must be established by a multidisciplinary team in order to identify carefully-selected patients to undergo the optimal oncological therapy.

ABSTRACT

It has been widely demonstrated that patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure present high levels of circulating neurohormones and inflammation markers which can secondarily induce an increase of the level of tumor markers such as CA 125, AFP, CEA, CA 15.3 or CA 19-9. This is a literature review regarding the benefits of determination of tumor markers serum levels in cases presenting chronic heart failure.

ABSTRACT

Prostatic cancer represents an important health problem worldwide, being the third most common malignancy in men older than 55 years, after pulmonary and colon cancer. In early stages prostatic cancer remains hard to be diagnosed at clinical or imagistical studies, the most efficient way to detect it being based on the determination of tumor markers. This is a literature review of the largest studies conducted on the theme of prostatic tumor markers.
