ABSTRACT Various doses of progesterone in oil and of two progestational compounds (17α-hydroxy-19-nor-progesterone caproate and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone p-butoxyphenyl propionate) have been given to 15 patients with recurrent and/or metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma and to one patient with metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma, for periods of up to 27 weeks. Regression of lung metastases was noted in 4 of 13 patients, softening of pelvic tumour in 2 of 4, and histological alterations of tumour tissue in 4 of 5 patients. In the patient with metastases from a cervical adenocarcinoma, the disease progressed during the treatment. The significance of the observations is discussed.

Detection And Localization

AbstractThe use of tissue autofluorescence for the detection and localization of cancer of the larynx is described. In this pilot study, eight patients with probable carcinoma of the vocal folds underwent laryngoscopy in which the tissue autofluorescence spectra of normal and pathologically confirmed tumour tissue were acquiredin vivo. Fluorescence images of the suspect areas were also acquired using the LIFE system (Xillix Technologies Corp.). The results suggest that the autofluorescence properties of laryngeal tissue, under 442 nm illumination, are similar to those of bronchial tissue and that the LIFE system has the potential to increase the accuracy of staging of cancer of the larynx and also to allow earlier diagnosis of tumours and theirrecurrence
