TITLE: [Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle for the action mechanism of antineoplastic agents]
PUBDATE: 19950901
Cell kinetics of cancers have been described in books, texts and other reports, but the correlation with action mechanism of antineoplastic agents has rarely been mentioned in the literature. The action mechanism of the antineoplastic agents such as interferon, ACNU and cisplatin was analyzed with use of propidium iodide and BrdU double staining by flow cytometer. Interferon showed S phase accumulation, ACNU and cisplatin blocked the stage of G(2)M phase. Flow cytometry was useful for the analysis of cell kinetics.

TITLE: Chemotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer.
PUBDATE: 19920201
Over the past decade, a large amount of information has been acquired regarding the use of chemotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer. Combination regimens including M-VAC and CMV have been developed that generate high response rates; however, the impact of chemotherapy on survival has been modest. The available data would strongly suggest that therapy needs to be improved, and therefore current regimens should not be considered the standards of care as much as the standards of comparison for improved future treatments.

PUBDATE: 19960301
A rare case of bladder cancer producing granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is reported. A 63-year-old man with a progressive, grade 3 transitional cell bladder carcinoma, showed marked leukocytosis (maximum 181,800/mm3) and an elevated serum G-CSF to 131.7 pg/mL. After radical cystectomy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the tumor recurred locally. Immunohistochemical examination with monoclonal antibody specific for G-CSF revealed positive staining in the local recurrent tumor. To our knowledge, there have been only seven cases reported of bladder cancer producing G-CSF.

PUBDATE: 19961101
The development of colorectal cancer is the most serious long-term problem faced by patients with extensive ulcerative colitis and Crohn's colitis, with an incidence 20-fold higher and an average age of onset 20 years younger than colorectal cancer in the general population. This report summarizes the epidemiology, pathology, and recent advances in the molecular pathogenesis of colorectal cancer in inflammatory bowel disease and of its acknowledged precursor, mucosal dysplasia. It also reviews the rationale behind the use of endoscopic surveillance for dysplasia as a means of reducing cancer mortality, as well as some of the issues involved in its effective implementation.

TITLE: Radioiodine uptake by squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung.
PUBDATE: 19940301
A patient with a history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma showed a solitary hot spot in the chest on post-therapy radioiodine imaging. Subsequent evaluation demonstrated that this lesion was a primary squamous-cell lung cancer. Our case illustrates a rare but important differential diagnosis from lung metastasis of thyroid cancer in 131I scintigraphy. Alternatively, this "aberrant uptake" might be a rather common phenomenon for lung neoplasms, although the underlying mechanism is not yet known. Future experimental studies might lead to a new application of radioiodine imaging in pulmonary oncology.

Although CA 125 is generally considered a serum marker of malignant tumors, it may be elevated in conditions characterized by peritoneal inflammation. We report a patient with known pulmonary sarcoidosis who presented with an adnexal mass and an elevated CA 125. At laparotomy, she was found to have miliary peritoneal disease simulating the appearance of metastatic cancer. Microscopic examination revealed a benign ovarian cyst and diffuse granulomatous disease similar to that present in the lung.

PUBDATE: 20050101
Progresses in medical oncology seem to be speeding up. New drugs developed these last years have been submitted to comparative trials, and many results lead us to expect improvements in the treatment of patients with solid tumors. Unquestionable in some cancer types, these progresses unfortunately sometimes remain marginal in other fields. Survival benefits are not always well established and, confronted with the exploding costs of medicine, the physician might tend to refrain from using some promising drugs. This review is summarizing results of the most important trials, while trying to present data in a context useful to the clinician.

TITLE: The cytogenetics of ataxia telangiectasia.
PUBDATE: 19911001
Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is a heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder marked by cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectases, hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation, immunodeficiency, and cancer susceptibility. AT is also a spontaneous chromosomal breakage syndrome, notable for tissue-specific cytogenetic changes and telomeric fusions. Molecular characterization of rearrangements specific to T-lymphocytes suggests that a DNA repair/processing defect is potentially responsible for the diverse array of chromosomal abnormalities observed in a variety of AT cell types.

PGE2 is one of the most important prostaglandin involved in the oncogenesis. PGE2 is found at high concentration level in the most of epithelial cancer. Urologic and gynaecologic cancer express the enzyme which are at the origin of PGE2: cyclooxygenase 2. Cox2 inhibitors present anticancer properties demonstrated in wide varieties of cellular and animal models. Human applications are currently tested in many clinical trials for bladder, prostate and uterine carcinomas.

This paper presents a mixed model of carcinogenesis and derives the incidence functions and the first four cumulants of the number of tumors. The model is then fitted to some retinoblastoma data from the SEER (Surveillance Epidemiology End Results) project of the National Cancer Institute for the years 1973-1982. In all the cases presented, the estimated incidence functions appear to fit the observed incidence curves quite well, suggesting the usefulness of the model.

TITLE: [Growth fractions of bladder cancer determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunostaining]
PUBDATE: 19940501
Immunohistochemical staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) can be performed on conventionally fixed and processed tissue. We applied anti-PCNA monoclonal antibodies to transurethrally resected bladder cancer specimens. The labelling index (LI) of PCNA increased with tumor grade and that of the invasive tumor group was higher than that of the non-invasive tumor group. Especially in large tumors, there was intratumoral variation of labelled cell distribution, which may represent tumor heterogeneity. These findings suggest that PCNA might be a useful marker for bladder cancer proliferation.

We report the use of ELT utilizing an Nd:YAG laser in a group of patients with cancer who represented a significant surgical risk. Effective palliation was achieved, with minimal morbidity, and the quality of life of most of our patients was preserved or enhanced, at a minimal physiologic cost. In carefully selected patients, ELT has proved to be a safe and highly effective procedure for the management of gastrointestinal cancers. It should be considered a valuable addition to the treatment armamentarium of the practicing clinician dealing with patients with advanced cancers or patients with significant medical conditions precluding surgical resection.

Development of vocal fold paralysis in the presence of thyroid disease is strongly indicative of thyroid cancer, and requires surgical exploration. At the same time, vocal fold paralysis does not relieve the surgeon of his obligation to identify and preserve the recurrent laryngeal nerves, since the cause of the paralysis may be a benign disease, with a fair chance of functional recovery after surgery. We hereby report a case of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy secondary to a multinodular goitre.

Neural blocking of phenol-glycerine was used for the treatment of cancer pain originated from the esophagus, stomach, liver, lung, rectum, ovary, nasopharynx, head and neck. According to the dose difference, 148 cases were divided into three groups of 7-10% 4-5 ml (30 cases), 15-20% 3-4 ml (70 cases), and 25% 2-2.5 ml (48 cases). The result observed among the three groups as good or fair was 46.7%, 80% and 89.6% respectively, however, complications occurred too within the rate of 13.3%, 34.3% and 14.6% respectively. It is indicated that 2.5 ml of 15-25% phenol-glycerine seems better.

TITLE: Evaluation of Ehrlich's test as screening test for cancer.
PUBDATE: 19921101
Ehrlich's test, serum mucoproproteins, phosphohexoisomerase (PHI), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were studied in patients with cancer and age matched controls. All parameters studied were found to be significantly increased in cancer. Evaluation of Ehrlich's test, PHI and LDH for their validity as screening tests revealed that Ehrlich's test is better suited as a screening test for cancer. A positive correlation observed in the study between serum mucoproteins and Ehrlich's test strengthens the postulation that mucoproteins are responsible for the colour development in Ehrlich's test.
