[The Use of Platinum-Based Chemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer Patients with Impaired Renal Function].

INTRODUCTION: The key drugs of first-line chemotherapy for metastatic esophageal cancer are 5-FU and cisplatin(CF). However, the treatment strategy for unfit patients of CF regimen remains controversial.

[A Case of Sigmoid Colon Cancer with Simultaneous Solitary Adrenal Metastasis Refractory to Preoperative Diagnosis].

A 72-year-old man was referred to our urology department due to a giant adrenal tumor detected by computed tomography( CT). Endocrine screening showed that cortisol, renin, aldosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline levels were all normal, and there was no evidence of adrenal hyperfunction. The adrenal tumor was so large that we suspected malignancy. Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen was perform...
