TITLE: Self-examination does not reduce breast cancer mortality.
PUBDATE: 20030201
Breast self-examination does not decrease breast cancer mortality, according to the results of this randomized controlled trial of 266,000 women who were given intensive instruction in breast self-examination. These findings correspond with the US Preventive Services Task Force policy not to recommend breast self-examination for the reduction of breast cancer mortality.

TITLE: Cytotoxic constituents from the whole plant of Corydalis pallida.
PUBDATE: 20051101
Here we report the cytotoxic activity of three known compounds isolated for the first time from Corydalis pallida (Papaveraceae). An isoquinoline alkaloid, berberine, exhibited cytototoxic activity against two human cancer cell lines, HT-1080 (human fibrosarcoma) and SNU-638 (human stomach adenocarcinoma), with IC50 values of 3.2 and 3.4 microg/mL, respectively. N-trans-feruloyltyramine and N-trans-feruloylmethoxytyramine were also isolated from this plant but were inactive.

TITLE: [An experimental study for tumor detection by indocyanine green with near-infrared topography]
PUBDATE: 20020501
We studied tumor detection by indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared topography in rat experimental tumors: hepatoma AH109A and osteosarcoma POB 102. Time-intensity curves and topograms after ICG injection were obtained in tumors and surrounding normal tissues. Intensities in tumors were slowly reduced, and intensities in normal tissues were rapidly reduced, resulting in positive tumor image in topogram. It is concluded that near-infrared topography enhanced by ICG is useful for cancer detection.

PUBDATE: 20051101
The aim of this article is to define the therapeutic advances in the treatment of penile cancer over the past 2 decades. A literature search was conducted for articles in which a major change in therapy was documented as beneficial. Case records were then reviewed in patients who underwent such procedures. Major advances have involved less disfiguring treatment of the primary lesion in selected cases and the recognition of improved survival by altering the timing of groin dissection for those at risk for metastatic disease.

TITLE: Virulence and pathogenesis.
PUBDATE: 20020701
Why do viruses cause disease? As intracellular parasites they grow at the expense of the host, yet many infections are non-virulent. We tend to focus on unusual outcomes of infection that are important to the individual but trivial for host-parasite evolution, for example, paralytic polio or viral cancer. The assumption that the features of disease help onward transmission of the virus is true for, say, rabies, but not for AIDS or neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, minor host differences can result in major changes in pathogen virulence. Although viral burden relates to disease severity, pathogenesis is not necessarily coupled with transmission dynamics.

PUBDATE: 20051101
Viruses have been engineered to replicate selectively in cancer cells, based on a number of innovative principles. Several of these viruses have entered clinical trials and have proven relatively safe, and have shown evidence of efficacy. However, further research is required to enable these agents to function systemically. This might involve attempts to suppress immune responses to virus antigens, and re-targeting of viruses to favor tumor infection and increased potency. When these barriers are overcome, oncolytic viruses could enter the mainstream of clinical oncology.

In 1998, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) made an effort to revise and expand the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) in cancer treatment. New CTC version 2.0 includes more than 279 individual adverse events with more than 24 of these applicable to adverse reaction category. The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group(RTOG) Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria and BMT Complex/Multi-Component Events were added to New CTC version 2.0. CTC version 2.0 represents an improvement in the evaluation and grading of toxicity for all modalities in cancer treatment.

In the past few years, ultrasonography has become the most widespread and easily available diagnostic procedure in gynecological practice. the high-frequency transvaginal probe provides a detailed visualization of the reproductive organs and the urinary bladder. however, in spite of this generally applied examination procedure it's rare when the transvaginal ultrasonography is used to identify bladder tumor. the urologist rather use transabdominal ultrasound for the detection of bladder tumors. the authors report a case in which gynecological sonography contributed to the screening and evaluation of an asymptomatic bladder cancer.

Atopic dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, dyshidrosis, and melasma seem to be more common in Asians, whereas psoriasis and skin cancer are less common. In addition, there are less common skin conditions that are usually seen in Asians, including Mongolian spot, nevus of Ota, nevus of Ito, Kawasaki disease, primary cutaneous amyloidosis, Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, and LCAI. Awareness of these less common cutaneous disorders can be helpful, especially for clinicians who work in areas with a large Asian population.

PUBDATE: 20020701
Cell death is most frequently the result of apoptosis, an event that is often controlled by mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP). Recent data reveal unexpected functional links between apoptosis and autophagic cell death, in the sense that MMP can trigger autophagy of damaged mitochondria. Conversely, one of the major signal-transducing molecules involved in the activation of autophagy during apoptosis--the so-called DAP kinase--can induce cell death through MMP. Connections are also emerging between apoptosis, autophagy, replicative senescence and cancer-specific metabolic changes.

PUBDATE: 20040101
Lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer became vital and obligatory part of staging procedure. Therapeutic effect of lymphadenectomy with patient's prognosis improvement still remains uncertain. In subgroups, extensive lymphadenectomy enhance radicality of the procedure, enables to reach R0 resection in the area of tumour bed and hopefully improves survival. D2 lymphadenectomy is now becoming as a standard also in our country. Technique and possible complications of D2 lymphadenectomy are the matter of this article.
