Carcinoma Stomach

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.

Objectives: The objectives of this study is to investigate the correlation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting the depth of myometrial invasion, cervical involvement and lymph node involvement and actual histopathological findings in the women with endometrial cancer. Methods: This is a reterospective study of the patients of endometrial cancer from Nov 2011 to Jan 2016 who underwent Surgery (Total abdominal Hystrectomy with B/l salpingoophorectomy with peritoneal washings with b/l pelvic lymphadenectomy with or without para aortic lymphadenectomy) at our centre Max Superspeciality Hospital. CE MRI Pelvis has been done pre operatively in every patient. After the surgery Histopathological reports of the specimen checked and compared with MRI findings of that case. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the validity of MRI findings of endometrial cancer in comparison to final histopathological findings. Results: For the detection of myometrial invasion, overall sensitivity of MRI is 93.9%, specificity is 66.6%, for cervical involvement Senstivity is 60% and specificity 1s 93.75% and for detection of lymph node involvement sensitivity is 66.6% and specificity is 93.5%. Most common Finding on MRI is thickened endometrium with disruption of Junction jone. Conclusions: Preoperative pelvic MRI is a sensitive method of identifying invasion to the myometrium in endometrial cancer. MRI Is a sensitive noninvasive modality in predicting locoregional spread in ca endometrium. Senstivity in detecting Myometrial invasion is high but sensitivity is less in detecting cervical involvement and lymph node involvement is less.
