Abstract
A national collaborative group has conducted a multicenter prospective study on the use of a specific glossary for the complications associated with the treatment of cervical cancer, which were analytically described in 1989. This report analyzes the urologic complications with particular reference to radical surgery in stage IB-IIA cancer cases. In the prospective multicenter clinical study 2024 patients with frankly invasive cervical cancer were enrolled (IB = 1041; IIA = 308; IIB = 384; IIIA-B = 237; IV = 54). This report considers 1349 patients with stage IB-IIA disease. Treatment modalities in this group of patients were: type III radical surgery in 21.9%; type III radical surgery followed by radiotherapy in 20.8%; type III radical surgery preceded by radiotherapy in 7.3%; type II radical surgery in 3.1%; type II radical surgery followed by radiotherapy in 8.4%; type II radical surgery preceded by radiotherapy in 18.8%; surgery plus chemotherapy plus radiotherapy in 3.5%; radiotherapy alone in 16%. In this case series 873 complications were registered, and among these 341 (39.1%) were described in the urinary tract. Among 277 bladder complications 47.3% were grade 1; 47.3% grade 2, and 5.4% grade 3. Among 64 ureter complications 59.4% were grade 1; 17.2% grade 2, and 23.4% grade 3. Distribution of severe urinary complications was different according to site (bladder or ureter) and treatment modalities (radical surgery alone: bladder 1.3%, ureter 1.3%; radical surgery followed by radiotherapy: 1.4% bladder, 2.8% ureter; radical surgery preceded by radiotherapy: 3% bladder, 0% ureter). Different distributions of severe urinary complication were also observed in respect to stage (IB vs IIA); treatment: elective vs nonelective. In 673 patients treated with radical surgery plus or minus radiotherapy 123 relapses were registered (18.2%). Incidence of relapse was not different in patients suffering from mild/severe complications vs patients without complications. Disease-free survival, death from tumor, and death from other causes were not different in the group with complications in comparison to the group without complications.

Abstract
In this study we evaluated efficacy and toxicity of a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen before radiation therapy or surgery in high-risk cevical cancer patients. Between January 1988 and July 1993, 37 out of 40 consecutive patients with bulky cervical carcinoma (>40 mm) received chemotherapy consisting of six (range 4-9) weekly courses of cisplatin (1 mg/kg), followed by radical surgery and/or radiotherapy. Thirty-six patients completed the planned sequence of treatment. Overall response rate was 65% after induction chemotherapy (complete 0% and partial 65%) and 73% (complete 57% and partial 16%) after definitive treatment. After a median follow-up of 23 (range 4-61) months the median duration of response was 29, 19 and 11 months for complete partial and non-responders respectively. Toxicities from induction chemotherapy were mild to moderate, reversible and tolerable and did not affect the subsequent application of the definitive treatment. The proposed cisplatin neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen gave positive results in a good number of cases with low toxicity and without interfering with the definitive radio-surgical treatment of this group of high-risk patients. The number of cisplatin courses for best effect remains to be established.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of transvaginal sonography and sonography plus needle biopsy in detecting pelvic malignant recurrence. We scanned 24 patients already treated for gynecological malignancy, 21 of whom underwent needle biopsy under sonographic guidance. Thirteen patients were affected by cervical cancer, ten by ovarian cancer, and one by endometrial-ovarian carcinoma. Sonography detected 16 solid or cystic-solid masses (median size 52 mm, range 15-85 mm), one case of ascites, and one liquid mass (hematoma). All the patients in whom a suspicious mass was detected had recurrence. In the six patients in whom no mass was visible, two had recurrence. Needle biopsy was able to demonstrate recurrence in 17 patients (also in two false-negative scans). In one, even though sonography detected a mass, the histological sample was negative, but recurrence was later diagnosed by laparotomy.Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of transvaginal sonography were respectively 91.6%, 89.4% and 100%. The positive predictive value was 100% and the negative predictive value was 71.4%. Transvaginal sonography was shown to be a useful means of detecting pelvic recurrence.

Abstract
We analysed the complications of 215 patients with uterine cervix cancer, treated by radiotherapy (RT) alone. It was done according to the rules of the Franco-Italian glossary, presented at the 7th ESTRO meeting, held in The Hague on September 1988. They were ranked by organ sites and by degrees of gravity. The analysis was done on the total number of complications and they were scored at the highest reached grade of gravity. Seventy one complications were found in 55 patients; they were studied by patient, degree of severity, time of onset, organ system and grade, time of onset and grade, time of onset and organ sites, stage and RT doses and brachytherapy volumes. The importance of the study of complications is stressed, particularly when treatment combines external RT and brachytherapy; some guidelines are given to avoid severe complications.

Abstract
The preoperative localisation of occult mammary lesions can be performed using fine needle biopsies, thus limiting esthetic damage in those patients in whom histological tests prove the lesion to be benign. Various methods have been proposed over the past 20 years. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate published data in order to determine which is the most appropriate method in terms of simplicity and efficacy.
