The objects of this survey are population of Kansai Area ; 1) general population of rural and urban area, 2) examinee of short-stay dock of hospital, 3) students. 3 Allowable marks about mental illness are lower than those of tuberculosis among general population, as well as short-stay inpatient and students. 4 Allowable marks of student are higher than those of short-stay inpatient. 5 Allowable marks of men are higher than those of women. 6 Allowable marks of medical and health students are the highest among student groups. 7 Allowable marks of key-persons are higher than those of general residents

Efficacy and Safety of the Radiotherapy for Liver Cancer: Assessment of Local Controllability and Its Role in Multidisciplinary Therapy

This study investigated the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy as part of multidisciplinary therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Clinical data of 49 HCC patients treated with radiotherapy were assessed retrospectively. The efficacy of radiotherapy was assessed by progression-free survival, disease control rate, and overall survival. Safety was assessed by symptoms and hematological assay, and changes in hepatic reserve function were determined by Child–Pugh score and albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score. Forty patients underwent curative radiotherapy, and nine patients with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) underwent palliative radiotherapy as part of multidisciplinary therapy. Local disease control for curative therapy was 80.0% and stereotactic body radiotherapy was 86.7% which was greater than that of conventional radiotherapy (60.0%). Patients with PVTT had a median observation period of 651 days and 75% three-year survival when treated with multitherapy, including radiotherapy for palliative intent, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, and administration of molecular targeted agents. No adverse events higher than grade 3 and no changes in the Child–Pugh score and ALBI score were seen. Radiotherapy is safe and effective for HCC treatment and can be a part of multidisciplinary therapy
