Abstract
Recently, a new immunometric assay (Cyfra 21–1) was developed to measure serum concentrations of a soluble fragment of cytokeratin subunit 19. With this method, supplied by Boehringer Mannheim (EIA Test Cyfra 21–1), an Italian multicenter trial was performed in patients with lung cancer. Cyfra 21–1 serum levels were determined in 568 normal subjects (blood donors), 607 patients with non-malignant diseases (491 respiratory diseases) and 730 patients with malignancies. In the latter group 584 had lung cancer. All these 584 patients had pathologically confirmed disease; 314 were epidermoid tumors, 166 adenocarcinomas, 88 small cell cancers and 16 large cell cancers. In the 568 healthy blood donors the mean Cyfra 21–1 value was 0.91 ng/ml (SD 0.47 ng/ml; range 0.05–2.90 ng/ml). A threshold of 1.9 ng/ml was chosen as the upper limit of normality. High levels of Cyfra21–1 were observed in patients with chronic hepatitis (positivity rate: 17/51–33.3%) and with pancreatitis (positivity rate 5/16 - 31.3%). In 114 out of 491 (23.2%) patients with respiratory diseases Cyfra 21–1 showed values greater than 1.9 ng/ml. The overall sensitivity (all stages) of Cyfra 21–1 in lung cancer was 65.6% (383/584). When the histology was considered the highest positivity rates were found in patients with squamous cell tumors (226/314; 72%) followed by adenocarcinomas (105/166; 63%). In patients with SCLC the global sensitivity was 52.3% (46/88). Higher sensitivity of Cyfra 21–1 was observed from stage I to stage IV (53.9% vs 85.7%; Chisquare: p < 0.01). When comparing patients in whom curative resections were possible (up to stage IIIa) with patients suffering from inoperable tumors, a significant difference in Cyfra 21–1 positivies was found (59% vs 81.5%; Chi square p < 0.01).

Abstract
Populations resident in the historical town of Venice and in the inland industrial city of Mestre are at different risk of exposure to environmental pollutants. This case-control study compares the risk of developing lung cancer in the two populations in relation to known risk factors for this neoplasm. A retrospective study of 305 incident cases of lung and 447 frequency-matched population controls was conducted through a standard questionnaire on main risk factors for lung cancer. Completeness of cases was checked against the Venetian Cancer Registry files. The results indicate that lung cancer risk associated with tobacco smoking was high in both areas, although more elevated in Venice islands among heavy smokers. An elevation of risk was associated with housing without a heating system, possibly suggesting a role of worse hygienic conditions. An increased risk associated with exposure to occupational carcinogens was detected in the inland area. In conclusion, lung cancer risk due to tobacco smoking largely affects both the populations, while other risks such as occupation or housing conditions appear to be more population-specific.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent malignant tumour of the liver. HCC has an incidence that changes with geographic areas (1.2-2.5% in western countries and 13-53% in Asia and Africa) as the risk of tumour bleeding. The patient arrives to the surgeon in emergency with no possibility of radical resection because of the patient's general conditions, the tumour's stage and the cirrhosis. Palliative treatments are: resection, direct suture of the bleeding tumour, artery embolization and selective binding of the hepatic artery. The Authors describe two cases of spontaneous rupture of HCC observed in the surgical department of Venice Hospital. A review of the literature is also reported.
