In small-cell carcinoma of the bronchus, extension to the brain is common. The role of prophylactic whole-brain irradiation and combination chemotherapy using CCNU in the prevention of brain extension is examined in the light of recent studies.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The role and potential value of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in certain tumors has been widely investigated in recent years. The authors retrospectively assessed the performance of 18βFβfluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)βPET in the assessment of esophageal squamous c
Although small cell carcinoma of the lung has a high incidence of skeletal metastasis and is frequently associated with paraneoplastic syndromes, it is only rarely associated with hypercalcemia. Similarly, the more unusual small cell carcinoma of the pancreas has not been associated with hypercalcem
