β¦ Synopsis
The records of 45 patients with carcinoma of the gallbladder who had undergone surgical resection at least 5 years previously were reviewed retrospectively to determine which factors influence long-term survival. Seventeen patients survived at least 5 years and 23 died &om recurrence (five patients were excluded from analysis). Of the 17 long-term survivors 15 had tumours superficial to the subserosa that showed a non-infiltrative growth pattern. Those alive at 5 years were more likely than short-term survivors to have tumours that were Pepmarg (P<oo5) or well Merentiated (P<o91) a d e n d o m a Vcmar, lymphatic and perineural invasion was more uuumon in short-than m long-term survivors (87 m u 8 29 pa cent, P<O.Ool). Patients with tumours limited to the muscularis

The role of the reconstructive surgeon has increased with an increasingly aggressive surgical approach to locally advanced rectal carcinoma. Multiple options exist for pelvic floor reconstruction. Muscle and myocutaneous flaps for pelvic-floor reconstruction provide well vascularized tissues which m
The late sequelae of mastectomy are well recognized'. These include frozen shoulder, damage to the intercostobrachial nerve, chest wall pain and arm lymphoedema. We studied whether more conservative surgery results in the same incidence of morbidity by means of a questionnaire.
## BACKGROUND. Even if some determinants of lung cancer (LC) prognosis have been established, their independent effect on long term survival remains to be seen. The objective of the current study was to identify the prognostic indicators of long term survival among LC patients treated by surgery.
