TITLE: Bovine leukosis--its importance to the dairy industry in the United States.
PUBDATE: 19821101
Bovine leukosis describes lymphatic cancers of cattle. The most common form of this disease occurs in adult animals and is caused by bovine leukemia virus. Infection is widespread in the United States, especially in dairy cattle, but the virus produces tumors in only a small percentage of infected animals. Nevertheless, bovine leukemia virus has been receiving attention from the dairy industry because of its importance in health certification of cattle or semen intended for export. Another source of concern is whether bovine leukemia virus poses any risk to human health. These problems are discussed in the light of recent technological advances in tumor virus research and specifically regarding our current understanding of the biology of bovine leukemia virus.

TITLE: Gastric malignancy: ten year experience at a community teaching hospital.
PUBDATE: 19820601
A ten-year review of gastric malignancy was undertaken and several factors examined. The degree of organ involvement played a significant role in determination of survival. Surgical resection, either palliative or curative, was associated with a more favorable short-term survival and bypass alone appeared to add nothing to patient survival time. The general lack of symptoms in early gastric cancer appears to be a majority determinant of the advanced state of malignancy in these patients. Early screening may represent a partial solution to this dilemma.

TITLE: [Small cell carcinoma of the lung (author's transl)]
PUBDATE: 19820401
Of the various types of bronchogenic carcinoma small cell carcinoma has the poorest prognosis. It is the most malignant of the histological subtypes of lung cancer owing to its rapid growth and early, widespread metastases. Small cell carcinomas are radiosensitive and respond to cytotoxic therapy. In the Second Surgical Department of the Vienna University Hospital, 70 "early-stage" small cell carcinomas were resected between 1955 and 1974. 27.5% of the patients with stage I and II carcinomas survived for more than 5 years without symptoms. "Curative" surgery is selected cases leads to prolonged survival in patients with localized lesions.

TITLE: Undernotification of diagnosed cancer cases to the Stockholm Cancer Registry.
PUBDATE: 19850301
A study of undernotification to the Stockholm Regional Cancer Registry comprised cancer diagnosed in 1978. Non-notified cases were identified by linking the cancer register with two independent sources of information viz. the Swedish cause-of-death register (fatal cases) and the regional in-patient care register (non-fatal cases). The estimated deficit in the cancer register for 1978 was 4% of the total cancer incidence for that year. The unreported non-fatal cases were followed up for five years, during which time more than half of the cancer diagnoses were entered on death certificates. If the cancer register had been supplemented with information from death certificates, therefore, only about 1% of all non-notified cases would have remained unregistered five years after diagnosis.

TITLE: Cytophotometric DNA analysis of early esophageal carcinoma.
PUBDATE: 19830101
In four patients with early esophageal carcinoma who underwent radical surgery, one died of cancer recurrence 13 months after surgery, two had an uneventful postoperative course after over five years and one succumbed to an incidental pneumonia 18 months postoperatively. Cytophotometric DNA analysis of the cancer cells reflected well the outcome of these patients. One recurrent patient had malignant pattern similar to that seen in usual advanced carcinoma of the esophagus, whereas the remaining three patient without recurrence throughout the postoperative course showed less malignant patterns. These result suggested the potential usefulness of cytophotometric DNA analysis in assessing the prognosis of early esophageal carcinoma.

TITLE: Denture wearing and oral cancer.
PUBDATE: 19840801
Four hundred patients with oral cancer were studied to determine if there appeared to be a risk related to denture wearing. Forty-three percent of the group wore dentures, and there seemed to be no correlation between the wearing of dentures and any specific cancer site. Furthermore, there was no difference between denture and nondenture wearers relative to age, sex, time from first signs or symptoms to diagnosis, tumor stage, or tobacco use. In addition, a large number of individuals in the general population wear dentures, and carcinomas occur infrequently in denture-bearing sites. Other studies have shown no difference between denture wearers and control groups in the occurrence of oral cancer. Therefore, it does not seem plausable at this time to consider denture irritation as a significant carcinogenic aggravating factor.

PUBDATE: 19830501
Lactic acidosis is a rare metabolic complication of cancer. An analysis of the cases reported in the English and French literature shows that all the patients have extensive neoplastic disease. Metastatic hepatic lesions are present in the large majority of cases, suggesting that alteration of liver function is part of the clinical picture. Chemotherapy against the neoplastic disease is the only effective treatment of this type of lactic acidosis.

PUBDATE: 19850101
Eighteen patients with measurable or evaluable lesions from squamous cancer of the esophagus received a regimen combining four active agents on an outpatient basis. Nine of 14 evaluable patients (64%, or 50% of 18 patients entered) responded: four of five with previously untreated regional disease and five of nine with recurrent or metastatic disease. Median duration of response in the latter group was 5 months (longest response, 13). Treatment was well-tolerated in all patients but one, who developed signs of severe methotrexate toxicity and died of sepsis.

TITLE: What is breast cancer doing before we can detect it?
PUBDATE: 19851101
Breast cancer is a cellular disease and the cellular kinetic events in the predetectable period are of great clinical significance. Such events include rate of replication, angiogenesis with distant metastasis, rate of cell death, and the number of cells needed to produce a detectable and later a symptomatic mass of neoplasm. A consideration of these events and their interrelatedness is reported using data from The Breast Cancer Detection and Demonstration Projects and significant reports in the literature. Growth rates in the predetectable period are estimated to be much faster than those that occur with grossly measurable breast cancers in keeping with the prediction of Gompertzian growth.

TITLE: Interaction of alcohol and tobacco in laryngeal cancer.
PUBDATE: 19820301
Both alcohol and tobacco use are accepted risk factors for laryngeal cancer. The authors used case-control data from previous studies to estimate the value of a previously proposed index of interaction between these two risk factors. In addition to the weighting procedure over exposure categories that was previously proposed for estimating a summary index, they applied maximum-likelihood techniques to facilitate the estimation. Overall, they found moderate synergy between alcohol and tobacco in increasing the risk of laryngeal cancer, in that exposure to both factors increased the risk about 50% more than the increase predicted if the effects of tobacco and alcohol were simply additive.

PUBDATE: 19851001
A case of renal cell carcinoma developing from a unilateral dysplastic kidney is reported. A 33-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of lumbago due to metastatic cancer to the bones. She was treated with interferon and combination chemotherapies, but died nine and a half months after initiation of the therapy. Autopsy revealed a widely metastasized renal cell carcinoma originating from a dysplastic left kidney. This is the second such case in the literature. Clinical management of renal dysplasia should take into consideration the possibility of developing malignancy.

Those who conduct cohort studies in cancer epidemiology increasingly use biochemical analyses as an important component.

I have reviewed a selected number of biochemical substances.

PUBDATE: 19840401
Agrocin 84 is a plasmid-encoded, fraudulent adenine nucleotide antibiotic responsible for the preventative biological control of the plant cancer, crown gall. It has bacteriocin-like selectivity which is dependent on a Ti-plasmid-encoded permease in pathogenic agrobacteria. Other nucleotide agrocins have been described and partially characterized; more may be confidently predicted.
