Cancer surgery-
Surgical oncology
• Prophylaxis
– Colectomy for familial polyposis
– Mastectomy/oophorectomy for familial breast/ovarian cancer syndrome – Orchiectomy in undescended testis
Di i
• Diagnosis
• Staging
– Axillary lymph node sampling in breast cancer – Staging laparotomy in ovarian cancer
• Treatment
– Curative resection: 40% of patients – Debulking surgery: ovarian cancer – Curative metastatectomy
• Lung metastasis in osteosarcoma • Lung metastasis in osteosarcoma • Liver metastasis in colorectal cancer • Palliation
– Bypass surgery in GI obstruction
• Rehabilitation
– Plastic & reconstructive surgery
• Breast reconstruction
• Radiation oncology

• Medical oncology
– Medical oncology is the subspecialty of internal medicine that caresfor and designs treatment approachesto patients with cancer, in conjunction with surgical and radiation oncologists. The core skills of the medical oncologist include the use of drugsthat may have a beneficial effect on the
drugsthat may have a beneficial effect on the natural history of the patient's illnessor favorably influence the patient's quality of life. (Harrison, 17th
Approach to Cancer Therapy
• Begin with an adequate data base
– Clinical trials ÆEvidence based treatment
• Proper histologicdiagnosis
– Histologic subtyping
– Biochemical, immunologic & biologic tissue
characterization characterization
• Adequate staging
• Appropriate plan of management
Staging
• Objectives
Determinant in planning appropriate

therapy
– Prognostic information
– Compare treatment results

Approach to Cancer Therapy
• Begin with an adequate data baseP hi t l i di i • Proper histologic diagnosis • Adequate staging
• Appropriate plan of management
– Biology and natural history of the tumor
A ailable treatment options
– Available treatment options
– Appropriateness to the patient's clinical situation – Wishes of the individual patient
Goal of Treatment Plan
• Curative
intent
– aggressive treatment with serious complication
• Treatment
for palliation
– relief of symptom
– prevention of complication – maximization of quality of life – Extend life
• Improve longevity without long-term disease free
survival
• consider risk-to-benifit ratio
benefit risk Toxicity benefit risk Economy cure survival pain control QOL benefit risk QOL
Cancer Chemotherapy
• Maintreatment option for disseminatedmalignant disease
• Curativechemotherapy
– Metastatic cancer
– Adjuvant chemotherapy
O f th t i t t
• One of the most important
• Still evolving role for systemic chemotherapy
• Palliativechemotherapy
– Metastatic cancer
History of cancer chemotherapy
• Exposure to mustard gas led to bone marrow and lymph
node hypoplasia in World War II.
• The clinical use of nitrogen mustard was pioneered by • The clinical use of nitrogen mustard was pioneered by
Gilman at Yale in the 1940sin the treatment of lymphoma.
• Farber at Harvard, also in the 1940s, first induced
remission in childhood leukemia using aminopterin, a
folate antagonist.
• In 1955, chemotherapy was first used to curea solid
tumor, gestational trophoblastic carcinoma., g p
• In 1960s the development of multidrugregimens for
childhood acute leukemiaand Hodgkin'sdisease
demonstrated that chemotherapy could consistently cure a high percentage of patients with certain chemoresponsive diseases.

Criteria for response to therapy
• Complete response(remission)
– Disappearance of alldetectable disease
• Partial responsep
– Decrease by more than 50%in the sum of the products
of the perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions
– No increase in size of any lesion – No appearance of new lesion
• Stable disease
– No change in measurable disease
• Progressive disease
– Increase by at least 25%in the sum of the products of
the perpendicular diameters of the lesions
Duration of Response
• Progression-free survival/Time to progression
– Palliative chemotherapy
• Disease-free survival
– Adjuvant chemotherapyj py
• Overall survival
Clinical Application of Chemotherapy
• Primary chemotherapy
– Metastatic cancer
• Adjuvant chemotherapy
– Post-operative
– Breast cancer, colon cancer
• Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
– Pre-operativep
– Head & neck cancer, breast cancer
Primary Chemotherapy
• Advanced/metastatic cancer patients
• Advanced/metastatic cancer patients
• Objective
– Cure – Palliation • Symptom control • Improve QOL • Prolong survivalAdvanced cancers with possible
Cure
• Acute lymphoid & myeloid leukemia
• Hodgkin’s disease lymphoma(certain types) • Hodgkin’s disease, lymphoma(certain types) • Germ cell neoplasm
– Embryonal
carcinoma, teratocarcinoma, seminoma, dysgerminoma , choriocarcinoma
• Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia • Pediatric neoplasms
– Wilm’s tumor, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing’s
sarcoma, peripheral neuroepithelioma, neuroblastoma • Small cell lung carcinoma
Cancers possibly cured with
‘high-dose’
chemotherapy with stem cell support
• Relapsed leukemia
– lymphoid & myeloid
• Relapsed lymphomas
– Hodgkin’s & non-Hodgkin’s
• Chronic myeloid leukemia • Chronic myeloid leukemia • Multiple myeloma

Adjuvant Chemotherapy
• Rationale
– tumor volume is minimum: higher cure rateg
– reduce drug dosage: decrease toxicity
• End point
– not the response rate
– prolong relapse-free/overall survivalp g p
