“…On the other hand, our study has some limitations. We examined cancer patients with a variety of pathological findings, similar to most previous studies on NCPS cancers [2,[16][17][18][19], because NCPS cancer is rare and accounts for only 5% of all head-and-neck cancers [20]. Also, the total irradiation dose or timing of the CT examination was not necessarily constant in our retrospective analysis.…”

“…3,4,6 These rates differ markedly from the 800 per million in Saudi Arabia. The Middle East may be less cancerogenic: the death rate from all cancers per million population (combining males and females) in 1989 was 1300 in Kuwait but 1770 in the United States.…”

“…4 If the population grew from 180 to 240 million in those 14 years, then the number of cases of thyroid cancer each year per million people was 43 at the outset and only slightly more, 47, at the end. However, the annual incidence of thyroid cancer was reported as 20 to 30 per million in 1966 5 and, in a different type of survey, 15 per million in 1970, 6 so an increased incidence occurred before 1975 3 in the United States. As another reference point, the number of all cancers in the United States in 1989 was 1,010,000 or 4200 per million, and the relative frequency of thyroid cancer among the total cancers was then 1.2%.…”

“…4 The relative frequency for 1975 was also calculated at 1.2%, 3 but was considerably lower in 1970 at 0.4%. 6 The sharp rise in incidence and relative frequency of thyroid cancer before 1975 was probably related to the injudicious use of radiation therapy that had been administered in the years before 1960. The carcinomas in the United States also exhibited papillary histology in over 80% of the cases.…”

“…According to Rankin et al (1966), the annual incidence in the population of Victoria, Australia, is about 0.0008% (Silverberg and Grant, 1970). It has a poor prognosis, and in the series reported by Ross et al (1972) the median survival time of those patients who died from their disease was less than 14 months from the time that symptoms first developed referable to the carcinoma.…”

SUMMARY In a review of 103 patients with carcinoma of the proximal bile ducts, eight patients were noted to have had ulcerative colitis also. This finding is strongly suggestive of a specific association between the two diseases. In three of the patients, carcinoma developed several years after proctocolectomy. Seven of the eight patients were significantly younger than the median age of the group as a whole, but no other apparent difference was noted between those with ulcerative colitis and the remainder of the group.During a review of the records of 103 patients with carcinoma of the proximal bile ducts seen at the Lahey Clinic Foundation during a 15-year period (Ross, Braasch, and Warren, 1972), it was noted that eight of these patients had, at some time, also had ulcerative colitis. Parker and Kendall (1954) were the first to record this association but, more recently, a number ofauthors have suggested that carcinoma of the biliary tract may be a rare complication of chronic ulcerative colitis (Rankin, Skyring, and Goulston, 1966;Converse, Reagan, and DeCosse, 1971;Morowitz, Glagov, Dordal, and Kirsener, 1971 occurred only four months after the onset of jaundice. At necropsy the patient was found to have a moderately well differentiated adenocarcinoma involving all the proximal bile ducts with direct spread into the liver. Metastases were discovered in the lymph nodes and in the porta hepatis. The presence of ascites and biliary cirrhosis was also recorded. CASE 2A 23-year-old woman first had symptoms of ulcerative colitis that were partially controlled during the next 20 years with unspecified medical treatment. However, at the age of 43, the patient underwent an emergency operation for a perforation of the colon, and a colostomy was constructed. Two years later, another perforation of the colon developed and this time an ileostomy with subtotal colectomy was carried out, leaving the rectum in place.At the age of46, gastrointestinal symptoms without jaundice developed that led to the performance of a laparotomy. A tumour, 3 cm, was found at the junction of the common hepatic and cystic ducts, and a biopsy showed it to be a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was referred to the Lahey Clinic where the presence of arthritis and a whitish discharge from the rectal stump were noted.
