    Notes: Summary Two patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia are described in whom G- and R-banding analysis revealed in bone marrow cells a translocation t (4; 11) (q21; q23). The clinical data are compared to the other four cases with t (4; 11) reported so far in the literature. The anomaly seems to be characteristic for ALL. In addition it appears to be associated with a very high number of circumlating blasts and other poor prognostic factors.

    Notes: Summary Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a cytotoxic monokine with immunomodulatory functions. Gamma interferon (g-IFN) synergizes with TNF in many ways. We therefore conducted a Phase I/II combination trial with TNF and g-IFN at an immunomodulatory dose level in 16 patients with colorectal cancer. TNF (50 μg/m2 in a 30 min infusion) and g-IFN (100 μg in subcutaneous injections) were administered daily Monday through Friday for 4 weeks. Two cases of major toxicity, one acute renal failure and one case of severe thrombocytopenia, led to discontinuation of study medication in these patients. Toxicities in remaining patients were manageable with conservative treatment. Changes in laboratory values included leukopenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia. Alterations in lipid metabolism and changes in serum levels of acute phase proteins were observed. Increase in both total lymphocytes and a Leu 11 positive subpopulation, as well as an induction of measurable interleukin 2 serum levels in a subgroup of patients, were noted. Response results of 14 evaluable patients were one patient with a mixed response, 4 with stable disease and 9 with disease progression. Median survival was 23.5 weeks with only one patient alive after 71 weeks. Therefore the drug combination of TNF/g-IFN in the chosen regimen cannot be recommended for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Between 1970 and 1988 surgery was performed on 124 patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities and trunk in the University Clinics of Hamburg. Liposarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma and malignant schwannoma were the most common histological types. High-grade sarcomas (G3) predominated, with 41 %, while 26% were graded G2 and 33% G1. Resection with wide margins all round was achieved in only 54% of the patients. The quality of the operation proved to be only therapy-related prognostic factor. In addition, tumour grade, size, regional lymph node and distant metastasis and histological type proved to be relevant to the prognosis. With multivariate analysis, distant metastasis, grade, resectability and histological type retained prognostic significance. The efficacy of adjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy was related to the quality of the preceding tumour resection. In case of gross tumour the rate of either partial or complete response was 28% for chemotherapy and 22% for radiotherapy. The mean survival time was 102 months; the 5- and 10-year survival rates were 48% and 37%, respectively.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der Chirurgischen Universitätsklinik Hamburg wurden von 1970–1988 124 Patienten mit Weichteilsarkomen der Extremitäten und des Rumpfs operiert. Liposarkome, maligne fibröse Histiozytome, Fibrosarkome und maligne Schwannome waren die häufigsten histologischen Typen. Niedrig differenzierte Sarkome (G3) überwogen mit einem Anteil von 41%, während 26% als G2 und 33% als G1 imponierten. Bei nur 54% der Patienten wurde eine Tumorresektion mit dreidimensional weitem Sicherheitsabstand durchgeführt. Dabei stellte sich die Qualität der Operation (RO/1/2) als einziger im Rahmen der Therapie beeinflu\barer Prognosefaktor heraus. Daneben wurde in der univariaten Analyse das Tumorgrading, die Tumorgröße, die regionalen Lymphknoten- und Fernmetastasen und der histologische Typ als prognostisch relevant ermittelt. In der multivariaten Analyse behielten die Faktoren Fernmetastasen, Grading, Resektabilität und histologischer Typ statistische Signifikanz. Der Erfolg einer adjuvanten Chemo- und Strahlentherapie war erheblich von der Qualität der vorangegangenen Tumorresektion abhängig. Bei klinisch manifestem Tumor wurde mit einer Chemotherapie bei 28% der Fälle eine Voll- oder Teilremission erreicht, mit einer Strahlentherapie bei 22% der Fälle. Die durchschnittliche Überlebenszeit betrug 102 Monate, die 5- und 10-Jahres-Überlebensrate 48% bzw. 37%.
