- Carcinoma in situ and early breast carcinoma survey of the Portuguese Senology Society on treatment in Portugal and its evolution between 1985 and 2000Publication . Oliveira, CF; Rodrigues, V; Gervásio, H; Pereira, JM; Albano, J; Amaral, NBy means of a questionnaire sent to Portuguese hospitals which diagnose and treat most female patients with breast cancer, it was intended to assess the situation regarding the treatment of carcinoma in situ and early breast cancer (T1 or T2, N0 or N1), as well as their evolution between 1985 and 2000. The hospital participation rate was 65% and a sample of 865 patients was collected, distributed by the years 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. It was observed that, in terms of surgery, there was an increase in conservative surgery, which was over 40% in 2000, as well as an increase in the average of excised axillary lymph nodes. Progress in the surgical approach was similar both in cancer centres and in large and university hospitals, when compared with the other surveyed hospitals. Also, no differences between these two hospital groups in disease-free survival and overall survival were found. Postoperative radiotherapy was employed in more than 90% of the patients submitted to conservative surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy was used in 39% of all the patients, while tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment was used in 58% of the patients.

- Prevalência dos marcadores de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B na população adulta do distrito de CoimbraPublication . Santos, A; Carvalho, A; Tomaz, J; Rodrigues, V; Coxinho, L; Bento, D; Sá, R; Porto, AAIM: To assess the prevalence of hepatitis B markers in the adult population of the Coimbra district, in the central region of Portugal. METHODS: The study included 657 subjects chosen aleatorily from 4 characteristic councils of the Coimbra district. They were questioned regarding risk factors and blood samples were taken for HBsAg, anti-HBs and anti-HBc testing. Anti-HCV was previously determined and it was positive in 0.45% of the cases. RESULTS: HBsAg was found in 0.91%. Anti-HBs and anti-HBc were both positive in 6.08%, anti-HBc without anti-HBs was found in 1.82% and anti-HBs without anti-HBc was found in 1.67% (11 cases, 8 vaccinated). The general prevalence of hepatitis B markers was 9.3%. Higher prevalences were found in the subjects over 50 years of age, 13.5% (p < 0.05), and in the urban area, 13.2% (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: 1. The HBsAg prevalence in our region is 0.9%; 2. The general prevalence of hepatitis B markers is 9.3%; 3. HBsAg prevalence is higher than anti-HCV prevalence calculated in the same sample; 4. The prevalence of hepatitis B markers in our region is lower than in other Southern European countries.
