8 consequences of lung cancer

what do you do with a solitary pulm nodule on CXR
compare to old CXRs. If same for 2 years than its not cancer. If no old films available and pt older than 35 or long smoking hx, get CT with PET scan if indeterminate. Get a biopsy.

which is better mastectomy or breast conserving surg plus rad
equally effective
why do we do sentinal node biopsy
to see if nodes are positive and to see if chemo is necessary

when is peak incidence of colon ca
60-75 yrs
how do you monitor colon ca tx progress
CEA
colon ca tx
surgery, adjuvant chemo with 5FU and Levamisole or Leucovorin

what about Insulinoma
Whipple's triad 1. sxs of hypogly
2. low plasma glucose at the time of sxs
3. relief with normalization glucose
insulinomas mostly benign and can resect, look for C-peptide which will be high vs exogenous insulin taken
what about gastrinoma

what does maternal DES exposure do
clear cell ca of cervix/vag in daughters
what does a woman with postmenopausal bleeding need
pap smear, endocervical curettage, endomet biopsy, consider ultrasound
