TL;DR: Twenty‐seven cases of medullary fibrosarcoma of the bone are reviewed in detail, showing a mild sex preference for men, tend to be clustered towards the end of long bones but may be found almost anywhere in the axial and appendicular skeleton.
Abstract: show a mild sex preference for men, tend to be clustered towards the end of long bones but may be found almost anywhere in the axial and appendicular skeleton. They are similar to soft tissue fibrosarcomas in their clinical presenta- tion but are more lethal, having a 5-year survival of

TL;DR: Changes in eye position were recorded while S experienced visually induced motion, and movement of the eye was not found to correlate, in either direction or extent, with this type of apparent motion.
Abstract: Changes in eye position were recorded while S experienced visually induced motion. Movement of the eye was not found to correlate, in either direction or extent, with this type of apparent motion. Induced movement was explained, therefore, in terms of a change in phenomenal rather than retinal location.

TL;DR: Una serie di ricerche per ottenere tumori in forma ascitica usando materiale cellulare di tumori solidi sono state esequite nelle successive generazioni di ratti.
Abstract: Una serie di ricerche per ottenere tumori in forma ascitica usando materiale cellulare di tumori solidi sono state esequite. Un omogenato del carcinosarcoma di Walker 256 e stato iniettato in cavita peritoneale e si e avuto lo sviluppo di forme tumorali ascitiche che e stato possibile trapiantare nelle successive generazioni di ratti.

TL;DR: Showers of cancer cells were detected in the blood of animals bearing an experimental colon carcinoma of the rat following the administration of fluids into the tumor mass, and a significant increase in blood fibrinogen levels and a rapid consumption of factor VIII were also detected after surgery.
Abstract: Showers of cancer cells were detected in the blood of animals bearing an experimental colon carcinoma of the rat following the administration of fluids into the tumor mass. These showers of cancer cells, however, persisted in the circulating blood only for a short period of time.A significant increase in blood fibrinogen levels and a rapid consumption of factor VIII were also detected after surgery.Hepatic metastases occurred in 9.2 % of the control animals, in 27.7 % of the sodium pentobarbital treated animals, and in 22.4 % of those inoculated with sodium chloride intratumor.The significance of the presence of the showers of cancer cells into the circulating blood produced during these procedures, and the possibilities that these may increase metastases is discussed.

TL;DR: Changes in eye position were recorded physiologically while S experienced visually induced autokinesis and apparent motion was found to be based upon a change in phenomenal rather than retinal location.
Abstract: Changes in eye position were recorded physiologically while S experienced visually induced autokinesis. Eye movements did not seem to sufficiently explain this phenomenon. Apparent motion was found to be based upon a change in phenomenal rather than retinal location. Special consideration was given to those parameters possibly responsible for paradoxical motion.

TL;DR: Of the 1,859 patients with cancer of the esophagus seen at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in the 40 years prior to 1966, over 5 per cent gave a history of hematemesis.

TL;DR: The partnership of surgery and radiotherapy needs further study, and preoperative radiotherapy in sarcoma of bone is used but there is no proof of benefit.
Abstract: The past experience of combined radiotherapy and surgery at Memorial Hospital was reviewed. Preoperative radiotherapy seemed to be of value in certain tumors of the head and neck, in esophageal carcinoma, in deeply invading cancers of the bladder without metastasis lymph nodes. There were no recent data on mammary or gynecologic cancer. The previously reported improvement in advanced cancer of the colon treated with preoperative radiation is now equivocal in our more recent data. Preoperative radiotherapy in sarcoma of bone is used but we have no proof of benefit. The author concludes that the partnership of surgery and radiotherapy needs further study.
