TITLE: The genetics of ovarian cancer: molecular biology and clinical application.
PUBDATE: 19980401
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common malignancy among American women and the fourth leading cause of cancer death. The rapid advances in molecular genetic analysis, presymptomatic detection, and treatment of ovarian cancer are staggering. In this review, both the genetic component and the molecular biology of ovarian cancer are discussed, as well as current recommendations for genetic counseling. It is important for the practicing obstetrician and gynecologist to become familiar with these concepts, for it is he or she who will likely serve as a primary resource of information for these patients.

TITLE: Instability of bronchial epithelium in chronic pulmonary diseases.
PUBDATE: 20000401
Pathomorphological examination of large bronchi in patients with occupational diseases, lung cancer, and in subjects exposed to radiation revealed structural and functional heterogeneity of the epithelium: the presence of focal atrophy, metaplasia, hyper- and dysplasia in the same biopsy specimen. This phenomenon was termed as instability of the epithelium. Thickness of the epithelium greatly varied, especially, in neoplastic processes. Atrophy and epithelial instability phenomenon are interpreted as morphological markers of ecological and oncological risk.

TITLE: Gene therapy for bladder cancer.
PUBDATE: 20000401
Tumor-suppressor genes can be transferred into tumor cells in vivo using a replication-defective adenoviral vector. P53 mutations are frequent in bladder cancer, and adenovirus-mediated p53 gene transfer is growth-inhibitory to bladder cancer cells in vitro. The vector Ad5CMV-P53, which contains human wild-type p53, is being administered intravesically to patients with bladder cancer in a phase I clinical trial. The results of this study will provide the basis for phase II and phase III trials in which gene therapy will be integrated with existing therapies for improved local control and opportunities for bladder preservation.

TITLE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
PUBDATE: 20010801
Muscle-invasive bladder cancer is typically an aggressive solid tumor with the propensity for early systemic dissemination. Although radical cystectomy remains the gold standard intervention, the high rate of systemic failure has prompted investigators to evaluate various strategies to attempt to improve survival, including the early administration of systemic chemotherapy. These efforts have provided mixed results with two recently completed trials providing conflicting results. Other strategies include attempts to both preserve the bladder using combinations of limited surgical resection, systemic chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. This review focuses on the potential of neoadjuvantly administered therapies to impact the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

PUBDATE: 19900401
Breast cancer is rare in females younger than 30 years. In a retrospective study of 25 women the effects of the early age on diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were investigated. In 21 women there was a clinical or radiological suspicion of carcinoma. Nevertheless, a delay in diagnosis was found in 9 of the 21 patients. In 16 patients stage I tumour was found, in 7 stage II, in I stage III and in I stage IV. After an average follow-up period of 68 months, 20 patients had no tumour recurrence. Tumour stage, treatment and prognosis were comparable with the characteristics reported for other age groups.

The following is a supplement to the article on the management of cancer pain which appeared in the January edition of AFP. It will provide some more detailed information on the choice and prescribing of opioid analgesics other than morphine for cancer patients. One should, of course, bear in mind many of the comments made in the original article regarding the holistic assessment of patients and their pain, the use of adjuvant therapies and alternatives. For more complete information regarding their use and pharmacokinetics one may need to consult product information, MIMS or one of the excellent short books designed for GPs.

TITLE: Transvaginal ultrasonography in nonpregnant and postmenopausal women.
PUBDATE: 19960501
Compared with transabdominal pelvic ultrasonography, transvaginal ultrasonography provides improved resolution for visualization of female pelvic organs, with less artifact. Transvaginal ultrasonography has superseded the transabdominal approach in many situations. Identification of uterine and adnexal masses can be facilitated with use of transvaginal ultrasonography. Transvaginal ultrasonography is also useful in the evaluation of pelvic pain and suspected pelvic inflammatory disease. Postmenopausal patients with vaginal bleeding or a palpable ovary can be triaged on the basis of transvaginal ultrasonographic findings, avoiding invasive diagnostic procedures in selected patients. Screening average-risk patients for ovarian cancer is not an accepted indication for transvaginal ultrasonography at this time.

TITLE: [Elastase]
PUBDATE: 19950501
Elastases are unique among the proteases in that they are capable of hydrolyzing the scleroprotein elastin. The enzymes include pancreatic elastases 1 (Protease E) and 2, and neutrophil elastase. These three elastases also have esterase and amidase activity toward synthetic substrates such as succinyl-trialanine-p-nitroanilide. Although the three enzymes are similar to each other in enzyme activity, they are quite different in immunoactivity. Therefore, each elastase has its own specific immunoassay either by RIA or EIA. Serum immunoreactive pancreatic elastases reflect disease conditions of pancreatic diseases, especially acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. On the other hand, serum neutrophil elastase increases in various inflammatory diseases or conditions.

Prognostic factors have been described in metastatic renal cell cancer: performance status, weight loss, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, presence of liver metastases. The treatment for a patient with good prognosis consists of: surgical exeresis of solitary metastasis, immunotherapy by either interferon or interleukin 2. Treatment in case of a rom prognosis is a combination of supportive care, orthopedic surgery for pathologic fracture or medullar compression, antalgic radiotherapy, embolization, nephrectomy for hematuria, and analgesic treatments.

PUBDATE: 19960801
Gene transfer has become a reality during the last decade. The basic principles of molecular biology, gene transfer, and the problems associated with this new technology have direct implications for the treatment of pediatric surgical patients. Research into applications of gene transfer in the treatment of disorders of the bone marrow, cancer, hemophilia, hepatic and metabolic disease, cystic fibrosis, and vascular disease is rapidly progressing. These areas of research may dramatically affect the care of pediatric surgical patients in the future.

TITLE: Recent updates on the role of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer.
PUBDATE: 20050801
Single-agent gemcitabine remains the standard treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. Recent phase III trials have failed to show improvements in survival using gemcitabine in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, although the gemcitabine/oxaliplatin combination has shown some promise. The combination of gemcitabine with erlotinib was associated with a significant prolongation of survival. Promising results in a phase II trial of gemcitabine in combination with bevacizumab have led to a randomized comparative trial of the combination. Potential combinations with other biologic agents are being investigated.

TITLE: Sonographic appearance of a carcinoma developed in ectopic axillary breast tissue.
PUBDATE: 20051201
Primary breast cancer of ectopic axillary breast tissue is almost never diagnosed preoperatively. When not accompanied by nipple-areolar complex, the mass is often believed to be a lipoma, an enlarged lymph node, or a skin lesion such as a sebaceous cyst or hydradenitis suppurativa. When an axillary mass is found, a percutaneous needle biopsy is mandatory to rule out the diagnosis of cancer in ectopic breast tissue. We describe the sonographic findings of a case of ductal carcinoma in axillary ectopic breast tissue.

TITLE: [Treatment of male breast cancer: an analysis of 41 cases]
PUBDATE: 19930501
41 male patients with breast cancer confirmed pathologically were treated. Of these, 35 were treated by radical mastectomy and 6 by modified radical mastectomy. The patients with axillary lymphatic metastasis were treated by postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy. The overall 5-, 10- and 15-year survival rates were 67.6%, 53.3% and 55.0%, respectively. The 15 year survival rates of TNM stage I-II and III patients were 55% and 50% respectively. We conclude that radical or modified radical mastectomy is the rational therapy for male breast cancer. The patients in stage III will benefit from postoperative adjuvant therapy in terms of improving prognosis.
