Clinical Treatise

Because the treatment of neoplastic processes in childhood appears ever more promising, there is a quickening of interest in more complete knowledge of these disorders in childhood. The present volume is primarily of interest as a complication of the extensive experience of one of the larger centers concerned with the treatment of tumors in children. Although this experience is compared with other reports in the literature, the chief emphasis is on the personal experience and opinions of the author. The information given in connection with clinical aspects of various tumors should be helpful to the practitioner in recognition, diagnosis and management of the impressive variety of benign and malignant tumors which appear during infancy and childhood.

Complex Subject

At times the presentation of a subject may suffer when a group of collaborators take up separate aspects. In contrast, the division of labor among the experts who contirubted to the present volume has strengthened the presentation of this complex subject. The result is a well-balanced, broad and authoritative coverage of the major aspects of the diagnosis and management of cancer and allied diseases in childhood. There are the usual complications that arise whenever a book is made up of chapters by different authors, namely, more redundancy and less orderliness and consistency than is likely to result when a single author assumes the whole task.

Abstract Context.—Immunohistochemistry has become an integral component of the practice of pathology. Newer antibodies allow for increasingly precise diagnoses for tumors that previously could not be easily identified. Recently, immunohistochemical evaluations have begun to allow pathologists to actively assist in determining prognosis and even in selecting therapies. Objective.—To summarize the usefulness of currently available immunostains for the study of liver and gastrointestinal system neoplasms and to make recommendations for panels of immunostains that can be particularly helpful. Data Sources.—Information has been collected from recent literature as well as from personal experience and practice. Conclusions.—Many immunostains are now available for the practicing pathologist that allow for increasing accuracy in diagnosis of liver and gastrointestinal tract neoplasms. Panels of immunostains can be used to differentiate between various tumors and also to identify site of origin in the case of a metastatic neoplasm. Immunostains that allow for prognostic determinations and for guidance in the selection of chemotherapeutic agents can also be used by pathologists to assist in the management of patients with malignant tumors affecting the liver and gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract Context—Melanocytic proliferations are among the most common neoplasms of the conjunctiva. They often represent challenging lesions for pathologists unfamiliar with unique histologic features of melanocytic proliferations in this location and with nomenclature used by ophthalmologists. Objective—To comprehensively review clinical aspects, pathologic features, and management of melanocytic proliferations of the conjunctiva. Data Sources—Review of the literature and personal experience of the authors. Conclusions—Classification, state of the art, and practical aspects of pathology of melanocytic proliferations of the conjunctiva are discussed.

Molecular Landscape

Lung cancer (LC), is the most common and lethal cancer worldwide. It affects both sexes and in its early stages is clinically silent, until it reaches a more advanced stage, when it becomes highly incurable. In order to improve the high mortality associated with LC there has been an urgent need for screening high risk patients by low dose CT scan (LDCT) for the early detection of small resectable malignant tumors. However, while highly sensitive to detect small lung nodules, LDCT is non-specific, resulting in a compelling need for a complementary diagnostic tool. For example, a non-invasive blood test or liquid biopsy, (LB), could prove quite useful to confirm a diagnosis of malignancy prior to definitive therapy. With the advent of LB becoming increasingly clinically accepted in the diagnosis and management of LC, there has been an explosion of publications highlighting new technologies for the isolation of and detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell free tumor DNA (cfDNA). The enormous potential for LB to play an important role in the diagnosis and management of LC to obtain valuable diagnostic information via an approach that may yield equivalent information to a surgical biopsy, regarding the presence of cancer and its molecular landscape is described.

For those who are interested in the advancement of pediatric surgery, it has long been obvious that improvements should be made in anesthesia for infants and children. Much credit should go to Drs. Leigh and Beltom for their important efforts in this direction. The present volume is based on an extensive experience with anesthesia technics in young subjects and hence bears a mark of authority. The book is a good source of reference data for those who are called upon to work in this field.

The majority of chapters in this book demonstrate clinical aspects of various aspects of old age psychiatry. These accounts tend to focus only on the viewpoints of the healthcare professionals involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and management of the condition. This chapter is different, and provides a first-person account of an anonymous author and his experience of having episodes of depression. The author describes the course of the condition at various times in his life and the various ways in which it has affected him at various stages. This chapter also describes his experiences of treatment and contact with professionals.
