TL;DR: One‐hundred‐ninety‐four eligible and evaluable patients with histologically confirmed locally unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were randomly assigned to therapy with high‐dose radiation therapy alone, to moderate‐dose (4000 rads) radiation + 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and to high‐ dose radiation plus 5‐FU.

TL;DR: Tumor size was inversely related to prognosis and was strongly associated with stage, and pathologic staging based on depth of tumor invasion and regional nodal involvement was strongly predictive of survival.

TL;DR: It is concluded that simple appendectomy is adequate treatment for patients with apparently localized tumors less than 2.0 cm in largest dimension and that right hemicolectomy seems justified only in young patients with tumors greater than or equal to 2.

TL;DR: Within a 75-year period, 20 patients with primary nonteratomatous carcinomas of the thymus were seen at the Mayo Clinic, including autopsy in fatal cases, and careful clinical and pathologic examinations excluded malignant lymphomas and metastasis to theThymus from epithelial tumors in other anatomic sites.

TL;DR: This poster focuses on cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, which consists of cancers of the lip, tongue, major salivary glands, gums and adjacent oral cavity tissues, and other oral regions.
