Abstract

Protection of the environment post-mining is a key objective of rehabilitation, especially where runoff and erosion from rehabilitated mine sites could potentially lead to contamination of the surrounding land and watercourses. As part of an overall assessment of the success of rehabilitation at the former Nabarlek uranium (U) mine, an appraisal of stable lead (Pb) isotopes, radionuclides and trace metals within sediments and soils was conducted to determine the off site impacts from a spatial and temporal perspective. The study found localised areas on and adjacent to the site where soils had elevated levels of trace metals and radionuclides. Lead isotope ratios are highly radiogenic in some samples, indicating the presence of U-rich material. There is some indication that erosion products with more radiogenic Pb isotope ratios have deposited in sediments downstream of the former ore body. However, there is no indication that the radiogenic erosion products found on the mine site at present have significantly contaminated sediments further downstream of Cooper Creek.

Abstract

Introduction: Thymomas are rare neoplasms with variable clinical behavior. Our primary study aim was to analyze treatment practices and outcomes in a population-based cohort of thymoma patients. We hypothesized that stage I and II thymomas would have high cure rates with resection and adjuvant radiation, whereas locally advanced cases would benefit from multimodality therapy., Methods: All patients, diagnosed with thymoma or thymic carcinoma in British Columbia between 1994 and 2009, were identified using the British Columbia Cancer Agency Registry. Chart review was used to collect demographic and treatment data. Detailed pathology review was performed using the World Health Organization classification., Results: One hundred and seventy-one patients were identified for analysis. The 5-year overall survival was 93.3%, 88.7%, 74.6%, 43.4% for stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. Survival varied significantly among patients with thymoma compared with thymic carcinoma. In patients with stage II disease, adjuvant radiation did not confer an overall survival or recurrence-free survival benefit. Seventy-five patients had locally advanced disease. There was practice variation in treatment of these patients. Patients with thymoma undergoing trimodality treatment had a 5-year median overall survival of 80%, whereas patients with thymic carcinoma had poor outcomes despite aggressive treatment., Conclusions: Survival rates in this population-based series were comparable to those in previously published reports. The ideal management of thymic tumors involves a multidisciplinary approach, particularly in locally advanced disease and selection of patients for adjuvant radiation therapy.
