Despite some anecdotal reports of treatment with chemotherapy, either systemic or intrahepatic, the more consistent results for the treatment of patients with hepatic metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma come from the Japanese literature with the use of radical surgery.

OBJETIVO: O transplante de pâncreas (TP) é atualmente o único tratamento disponível capaz de estabelecer estado euglicêmico permanente e de independência da insulina nos portadores de Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 1. Neste estudo são apresentados os resultados do TP realizados em um centro paranaense. MÉTODO: De janeiro de 2001 até abril de 2003, foram realizados 24 transplantes de pâncreas-rim simultâneos (TPRS), e um Transplante de Pâncreas Isolado (TPI) no Hospital e Maternidade Angelina Caron. RESULTADOS: No seguimento de 8,2 meses (1-27), a taxa de sucesso para pâncreas e rim foi de 74 %. A sobrevida dos pacientes foi de 76 %. A principal causa de insucesso foi trombose pancreática em três casos (12%) e renal em dois (8%). Não ocorreu nenhum episódio de rejeição. Todos os doentes com enxertos funcionantes apresentam-se normoglicêmicos sem necessidade de insulina. CONCLUSÕES: O transplante simultâneo de rim e pâncreas éterapêutica com alto índice de sucesso para pacientes diabéticos com insuficiência renal terminal.
