Lung cancer is one of the most common fatal cancers. We retrospectively evaluated 949 resected cases of lung cancer from January 1985 to December 2004 by comparative analysis of the first (1985-1994) and second 10-year period (1995-2004) with reference to patient age, gender, chief complaint, histological type, tumor differentiation, tumor size, operative method, pathological stage, and survival rate.
Surgical treatment for patients older than 75 years of age doubled in the second 10-year period. CT health screenings indicating lung cancer increased. The percentage of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma increased in both males and females. Cases of tumors less than 20mm, especially those less than 10mm, increased in the second 10-year period. The ratio of pneumonectomy decreased, and limited resection including partial resection and segmentectomy increased. The number of cases in pathological stage IA increased. The 5-year survival rates in stages IA, III A, IV, and overall in the second period were statistically higher than in the first period. An age of 70 years of more, being male, first medical contact other than CT health screening, CEA elevation, histological type other than well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and pneumonectomy were all considered factors impacting survival in resected cases of lung cancer.

To clarify the presence or absence of shoulder joint dysfunction one year or more after surgery for breast cancer, measurements of shoulder muscular power and shoulder joint range of movement, and a questionnaire survey regarding daily living and subjective symptoms were carried out in 30 patients one year or more after surgery. Muscular power and range of movement had improved to a level similar to that on the non-affected side in all the cases. Although the patients reported no restrictions in daily living, subjective symptoms remained, so they were not always satisfied with the clinical results.

子宮頸部悪性腺腫は高分化型腺癌で正常頸管腺との鑑別が困難なため，細胞診や生検での診断は難しく，診断法や手術術式が模索されてきた。そこで，悪性腺腫のMRI画像と病理組織を解析し，診断と治療法を検討した。
