PUBDATE: 19910601
Vaccinia virus is no longer needed for smallpox immunization, but now serves as a useful vector for expressing genes within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. As a research tool, recombinant vaccinia viruses are used to synthesize biologically active proteins and analyze structure-function relations, determine the targets of humoral- and cell-mediated immunity, and investigate the immune responses needed for protection against specific infectious diseases. When more data on safety and efficacy are available, recombinant vaccinia and related poxviruses may be candidates for live vaccines and for cancer immunotherapy.

Half of the patients with advanced cancer suffer from shortness of breath. This may be due to the cancer itself, result from its treatment or arise from concurrent conditions. Careful assessment should precede any intervention. Treatment should be directed toward altering the underlying pathological process as far as possible (e.g. tumour reduction or pleural puncture). The relieve of symptoms by reassuring presence and morphine application are the mainstay, when it is not possible to reverse the cause of dyspnea, and can also successfully complement specific therapy.

PUBDATE: 19911101
An increasing number of patients are undergoing cancer chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and are experiencing side effects in their mouths. A thorough oral examination is important in the overall pretherapy evaluation of these patients, and, along with a consideration for the patient's disease, treatment, prognosis and laboratory values, allows for realistic planning for dental management prior to, during and following cancer therapy. The early establishment of a good working relationship with the patient and those caring for him or her, and an understanding of the importance of compliance with oral hygiene will eliminate needless therapy-induced morbidity and mortality.

The comorbidity risks associated with advanced breast cancer and systemic disease have been outlined under three broad categories: the local or regional consequences of advanced local breast cancer and its management, systemic sequelae of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and systemic sequelae of metastatic breast disease. Awareness of the potential risks, early detection, and active intervention may diminish the adverse consequences of comorbidities in breast cancer and improve the patient's quality of life.

Management and survival in colorectal cancer are dictated by the extent of the disease at the initial diagnosis. Technological advances over the past 25 years have improved the ability to accurately preoperatively stage these lesions and detect recurrence. This article reviews the focus on the utility of computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, endoscopic ultrasound, and newer imaging methods including PET scan and monoclonal antibodies in the management of colorectal carcinoma.

PUBDATE: 19960101
The finely tuned mechanisms that control cell cycle progression go awry in cancer, pointing to proto-oncogene products as important players in cell-cycle regulation. One such proto-oncoprotein, c-Src, has previously been directly implicated, based on its requirement for growth factor-stimulated DNA synthesis. Roche et al. have now shown that c-Src or its close relatives are also required for cell division to occur. The demonstration of essential functions for the Src family at multiple points in the cell cycle raises important questions about the normal and transforming activities of these and other proto-oncoproteins.

PUBDATE: 19951101
Blood component therapy may be required for a variety of pathologic reasons in the cancer patient. The tumor itself not only affects various cell lines, but treatment with chemotherapeutic agents can induce cytopenias. In addition, chronic and acute hemorrhage can be caused by tumor erosion and rupture or by paraneoplastic coagulopathies. Component replacement will depend on the underlying hematologic deficiencies and should be performed in conjunction with treating the cause of the deficiency.

Cowden syndrome, or the multiple hamartoma syndrome, is a familial cancer syndrome with involvement of various organ systems. Inheritance is autosomal dominant with variable expression. Progressive macrocephaly, scrotal tongue, and mild to moderate mental retardation are important signs indicating the syndrome in young children. Other mucocutaneous symptoms, for example, trichilemmomas in the nasolabial folds and palmar and plantar hyperkeratotic pits, usually become evident later in childhood. They are often accompanied by the appearance of subcutaneous lipomas and cutaneous haemangiomas.

PUBDATE: 19951001
The basic principle of radiotherapy for cancer patients is that it has the possibility of a good result (curability), tolerable and promises a comfortable life thereafter. Radiotherapy is the important tool for cancer by conserving the organ and function and by helping improve the quality of life. Radiotherapy must be planed on the basis of considering the therapeutic ratio with a 3-dimensional treatment planning technique which is an important role in radiotherapy because they are essential in target localization. Radiotherapy is leading the way in cancer treatment for today and tomorrow.

PUBDATE: 19960701
Truth-telling to cancer patients is controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate oncologists', radiotherapists', and palliative care specialists' attitudes and truth-telling practices in Greece. A postal survey of a representative sample of 300 oncologists, radiotherapists, and palliative care specialists was made in February 1993. A total of 228 doctors completed and returned the questionnaires. It appears that withholding the truth from cancer patients remains very common in Greece.

This article focuses on the common precancers and skin cancers in the older patient. The hazards of ultraviolet radiation are explained briefly in relation to photoaging and the development of skin cancer. The etiology, clinical appearance, histopathologic diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for each type of cancer are reviewed thoroughly. It is hoped that early recognition and treatment by geriatric physicians will have a positive impact on the reduction of the morbidity and mortality associated with these cancers in the elderly.

TITLE: Breast cancer: pathologic and prognostic evaluation.
PUBDATE: 19911201
Breast cancer presentation is changing, with more tumors detected at an early stage. This makes choosing the most appropriate tests for evaluation of a particular tumor more difficult. Mammography with biopsy of suspicious areas reveals an increasing incidence of microscopic cancers, with a corresponding reduction in larger palpable cancers. Coincidentally, a number of tests for evaluating these cancers, which may affect treatment, have been developed. These includes immunohistochemical evaluation of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status and a number of tests still listed as investigational. This paper reviews the diagnosis, evaluation, and prognosis of breast cancers, and suggests an optimal way for handling these tumors.

PUBDATE: 19910501
Two cases of prostatic cancer with single bone metastasis in the tibia are discussed. The intense uniform involvement of a solitary limb bone with high perfusion and blood pool activity in the 3-phase bone scan and the positive white blood cell scan (observed in one case) were not typical for a metastatic bone lesion. Conventional radiomorphology--lamellar, periosteal reaction, disseminated medullar sclerosis, no localized lesion--also led to other differential considerations such as osteomyelitis and malignant lymphoma, which could not be specified by CT and MRI. Even if there is no typical morphology in scintigraphic and radiologic imaging, biopsy should be performed to exclude bone metastasis in prostatic cancer.

PUBDATE: 19950301
The result of 33 laparoscopic obturator lymph node dissections in patients with locally confined prostatic cancer are presented and compared with open surgery dissections. The hospitalization time was 3 days with the laparoscopic technique, a reduction by 50% compared with open surgery. The operation time was increased from 60 to 100 minutes. No serious complications were encountered. The postoperative recovery was fast and uneventful. The number of glands dissected out was slightly lower than that at open surgery. Obturator lymph node metastases were found in 15% of the patients in the laparoscopic series.
