Sacrococcygeal germ-cell tumours - the Red Cross War Memorial Children's hospital experience, 1980 - 1996

Objective. To document the experience of Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in the treatment of sacrococcygeal germ-eell tumours.Patients. Twenty-seven patients with sacrococcygeal germ-cell tumours were treated in our hospital from 1980 to 1996.Design. A retrospective review of these patients' records was undertaken.Results. There were 19 female and 8 male patients. Seventeen (63%) presented in the neonatal period, 13 on the first day of life. Complete surgical resection of the tumour was achieved in all patients with mature or immature teratomas (20 patients) and in 2 neonates with malignant tumours. The first of these 2 neonates, with a malignant teratoma, was not given chemotherapy and remains well 10 years later. The second, with a yolk-sac tumour, also received no initial chemotherapy. He relapsed at the age of 9 months and was successfully treated with repeat excision and chemotherapy. All 5 patients first diagnosed after the age of 1 year had malignant tumours. These patients had incomplete surgical resection (3) or biopsy only (2), and 3 were successfully treated with chemotherapy. One patient relapsed with yolksac tumour after initial complete resection cif a mature teratoma. She was successfully treated with repeat surgery and chemotherapy

Les rapports russo-ukrainiens : empire ou démocratie ?

The Russia-Ukraine Relationship - Empire or Democracy?, by Annie Daubenton The breaking up of the Soviet Union was thought to have severed the links forged by history between Russia and the Ukraine. Ukraine stated its new found independence within the CIS, rivalling Russia and banking on an equilibrium of East-West influences to assure its democratie transition. But Ukraine's economie liabilities, inherited from the dislocation of the empire (foreign debt, disputes over energy resources...), and a serious political crisis in 2000 hâve brought the two countries together, destabilising the equilibrium to Moscow's benefit and leading to retreats on reform. At the same time, Moscow's fight against "terrorism" in Chechnya is now seen in the context of international preoccupations (11 September) and has brought about the NATO-Russia agreement (2002), which seems to relegate the Ukraine to a secondary role on the international scene.L'éclatement de l'Union soviétique semblait avoir dénoué les liens tissés par l'histoire entre la Russie et l'Ukraine. Au sein de la CEI, celle-ci clamait sa nouvelle indépendance, rivalisait avec la Russie et misait sur un équilibre des influences Est-Ouest pour asseoir sa transition démocratique. Mais le passif économique ukrainien, hérité de la dislocation de l'ex-empire (dette extérieure, litiges sur les ressources énergétiques...), ainsi qu'une grave crise politique en 2000 ont rapproché les deux pays, déstabilisant cet équilibre au profit de Moscou et revenant sur les avancées réformatrices. Parallèlement, la lutte contre le « terrorisme » engagée en Tchétchénie par la Russie a depuis rejoint les préoccupations internationales (11 septembre) et permis l'entente OTAN-Russie (2002) qui semble finir de reléguer l'Ukraine à un rôle secondaire sur la scène internationale.Daubenton.
