Adenocarcinoma is the second most common nonduodenal small bowel tumor. Small bowel adenocarcinoma has risk factors similar to those of colorectal adenocarcinoma but is rarer and less well understood. Diagnosis relies on advanced imaging techniques as well as endoscopy or enteroscopy for tissue diagnosis. Aggressive biology and vague symptoms in early disease cause a majority of patients to present with late-stage disease. Adenocarcinomas with lymph node involvement should be treated with resection and systemic chemotherapy. In contrast, systemic chemotherapy alone should be employed in cases with distant metastases unless the primary tumor is bleeding, perforated, or causing a bowel obstruction.   This review contains 4 figures, 5 tables and 17 references Key words: adenocarcinoma, chemotherapy, enteroscopy, hereditary syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, lymph node, mesentery, small bowel

20014 Background: RCC in childhood is rare. Children with RCC tend to have a similar overall prognosis when compared with adults, where prognosis worsens with increasing stage, although direct comparisons of adult and paediatric data isn’t easy. The aim of our study is to identify the prognostic significance of local lymph node involvement in children with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Methods: On the basis of a retrospective study, the recently founded Italian Association for Paediatric Hematology and Oncology-Rare Tumors Paediatric Age (AIEOP-TREP) identified 16 patients (9 females) with RCC and local lymph node involvement at 10 of these centers. The cases were observed among 59 paediatric RCC, corresponding to 27.1% of RCC presenting in Italy from January 1973 to May 2006. Results: Overall, 9 patients were alive and disease free at last follow-up: eight patients had regional lymph node dissection (RLND) from the diaphragm at the aortic bifurcation, and one had the para-aortic lymph nodes removal. Six patients died: one had RLND (died from progression of disease), three had the renal hilum lymph nodes removal, and two the para-aortic lymph nodes dissection. One patient was lost to follow-up after relapse: this patient had para-aortic lymph node removal at diagnosis. Estimated 25-year DFS and OS rates for all patients were 64.2% and 50.5%, respectively. Given the small number of patients, little can be said about the value, if any, of adjuvant immunotherapy in this group of RCC. Conclusions: Children with lymph node positive RCC had a relatively unfavourable long- term prognosis. In our experience the RLND improves the prognosis. Further investigation of the biologic differences is warranted. Because of the very low incidence of paediatric RCC, an international clinical trial will be required to establish optimal therapy for children with RCC.

Background: Carcinoma stomach, a major killer cancer all over the world, is still presenting late in developing countries due to delay in early diagnosis, lack of awareness, infrastructure etc. Objectives: To establish the importance of preoperative evaluation on operability of carcinoma stomach. Methods: Sixty clinically and histopathologically diagnosed ca stomach cases who underwent surgery in department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, and Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka in 2011 were assessed with clinical picture, investigations, preoperative evaluation and peroperative findings were recorded. Z test for proportion was used to assess clinical decision predictability with a p value of :s;0.05 as significant. Results: Male (73.33%) predominant with 2.75:1 male:female ratio was observed. Mobility, fixity and abdominal lymphadenopathy were not well detected through clinical assessment (p=0.001) while ascites, metastasis and Shelf of Slummer were similar in both clinical and operative finding. The endoscopy of upper GIT finding gave a unique picture as the findings were almost same as were found during operation. USG detected a lesser proportion of the clinical condition compared to peroperative condition whereas CT performed better than the USG except for the lesion detection. Though Computed Tomography (CT) detected higher percentage of lesion, metastasis, ascites and lymph node involvement compared to ultrasonogram (USG), it was significantly higher only for lesion detection (p=0.002) and lymph node involvement (p=<0.001). In the similar manner USG assessment of lesion detection (p=<0.001) and lymph node involvement (p=0.003) was significantly low compared to operative finding. When we looked between CT and operative finding only lesion detection was significantly low (p=0.01) indicating CT to be most effective predictor of clinical picture for operative decision. Preoperative plan were mostly not in accordance with peroperative decision except for total gastrectomy. Conclusion: The study indicates weakness in clinical detection and pre-operative plan compared to per-operative finding. Hence combination of clinical feature and investigation tools especially endoscopy of upper GIT combined with CT is recommended to predict a better operative decision.
