TITLE: [Muscle tumor in a girl with HIV infection: extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]
PUBDATE: 20030501
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are the most common cancers in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Extranodal disease is the most common form of clinical presentation. Treatment with aggressive chemotherapy and highly active antiretroviral therapy has improved the prognosis of these children. We present a 10-year-old severely immunocompromised girl with HIV infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma manifested by a muscle mass.

TITLE: Marginal modeling of multilevel binary data with time-varying covariates.
PUBDATE: 20040701
We propose and compare two approaches for regression analysis of multilevel binary data when clusters are not necessarily nested: a GEE method that relies on a working independence assumption coupled with a three-step method for obtaining empirical standard errors, and a likelihood-based method implemented using Bayesian computational techniques. Implications of time-varying endogenous covariates are addressed. The methods are illustrated using data from the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium to estimate mammography accuracy from a repeatedly screened population.

TITLE: A fuzzy-genetic approach to breast cancer diagnosis.
PUBDATE: 19991001
The automatic diagnosis of breast cancer is an important, real-world medical problem. In this paper we focus on the Wisconsin breast cancer diagnosis (WBCD) problem, combining two methodologies-fuzzy systems and evolutionary algorithms-so as to automatically produce diagnostic systems. We find that our fuzzy-genetic approach produces systems exhibiting two prime characteristics: first, they attain high classification performance (the best shown to date), with the possibility of attributing a confidence measure to the output diagnosis; second, the resulting systems involve a few simple rules, and are therefore (human-) interpretable.

TITLE: [Radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of oesophageal carcinoma]
PUBDATE: 20041101
Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the three major arms of treatment for cancer of the oesophagus, and combined modality therapy is required to treat advanced disease. Exclusive chemoradiotherapy is a feasible option for locoregionally advanced disease in responder patients. Elective surgery as a palliative procedure should not be regarded as a standard option in patients with metastatic or non-resectable oesophageal cancer. Surgery appears more and more as an adjuvant therapy in the curative treatment of oesophageal cancer, especially for advanced tumours.

The aim of this paper is to explore how the project could help inpatients and outpatients to address their psychological needs and come to some understanding of their situation, following their diagnosis of cancer.

TITLE: [Characteristics of familial breast cancer]
PUBDATE: 20000701
We report the clinical characteristics of familial breast cancer families at our hospital in which the number of second-degree of breast cancer probands was more than 2. In our hospital, the incidence of onset at a young age was 21.9%, and bilateral breast cancer was 10.5%. These incident rates were significantly higher than sporadic breast cancer. The frequency of familial breast cancer in most Japanese hospitals was about 1.1%, but was 2.0% in our hospital. Familial breast cancer is a rare breast cancer, but the risk is high in breast cancer families. Therefore, it is necessary to follow up not only patients but the families.

TITLE: Morphogenetic concepts of normal and abnormal growth in the human prostate.
PUBDATE: 19980901
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are multifactorial disease processes, involving a growing number of biochemical, genetic and epigenetic factors. Their pathogenesis, however, remains poorly understood. The present review examines current morphogenetic concepts of normal and abnormal growth in the human prostate. This includes the role of basal cells in organogenesis and cancerogenesis, the impact of cell-matrix interactions, and the importance of cellular heterogeneity in tumour progression and hormone-insensitive growth. Knowledge of morphogenesis and morphology is required in any scientific approach to BPH and prostate cancer.

TITLE: Transcending breast cancer, transcending death: a Taiwanese population.
PUBDATE: 20000101
This study explores transcendence as a lived experience through in-depth, face-to-face interviews of 15 Taiwanese women with breast cancer. A phenomenological research method and Leininger's culture care theory were employed to guide the study. Four themes emerged as characteristic of the current lifeworlds of the study participants. The four themes are giving meaning to suffering, liberating a clinging nature, opening to life and death, and healing with compassion. The findings reveal that the essential structure of transcendence is the capacity of a person to give meaning to suffering, liberate self from a clinging nature, open self to life and death, and heal self with compassion.

TITLE: [Molecular basis of carcinogenesis in lung cancer induced by cigarette smoking]
PUBDATE: 20010601
An association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer carcinogenesis is reviewed. It is highly possible, that "individual susceptibility" for tumor development exists and is related to polymorphic variants of genes encoding for enzymes, which are employed in metabolism of xenobiotic substances. The gathering of highly reactive molecules due to modified metabolic processes results in DNA adducts forming and increased tendency for mutations. Group of genes, responsible for proliferation, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA damage repair are frequently altered.

BAT-26 instability, a sensitive marker for the high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) phenotype, was analyzed in samples of gastric cancer and in adjacent intestinal metaplastic mucosae. Although all MSI-H gastric cancer samples showed BAT-26 instability, as assessed using 12 dinucleotide microsatellite markers, BAT-26 instability was not found in the adjacent intestinal metaplastic mucosa in any of the samples.

Association of endocervicosis with endometriosis is feasible due to a müllerian origin of both entitties. Bladder endocervicosis is an exceptional entity that can be present in young women as a bladder mass like a bladder cancer.

Cancer metastasis can affect any part of the nervous system. When the peripheral nervous system is involved, the usual targets are cranial nerves, nerve roots and plexi. However, peripheral nerves and muscles can also be affected by compression or infiltration of neoplastic cells. This review focuses in the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic complications of cancer involving plexi, peripheral nerves and muscles.

PUBDATE: 20020201
In order to study possible connections between Dupuytren's contracture and sarcoma we analysed the records of 18 patients who developed sarcoma 5 years or more after surgery for Dupuytren's contracture. We found an increased frequency of fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma, but these patients did not differ from the other patients in the study group. Our analysis suggests that neither smoking, diabetes nor cancer syndromes can explain why patients with Dupuytren's contracture have a higher incidence of sarcoma.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis should no longer be considered as an automatically terminal disease in abdominal cancer patients. The aim of this comprehensive review of the literature was to evaluate the indications and contraindications of intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy with extensive cytoreduction surgery. Several aspects of the procedure are detailed. Feasibility, short-term and survival results are analysed owing to a comprehensive review of published studies.
