TITLE: Current practices in the oral management of the patient undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.
PUBDATE: 19990101
Abstract The oral complications associated with cancer chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation may be prevented or ameliorated by aggressive dental and oral hygiene interventions. Pretherapy dental evaluation and medically necessary oral care can eliminate potential sites of infection and trauma. A multidisciplinary approach, systematic oral assessment and consistent oral hygiene measures are critical and may be the most important factors in the prevention of significant complications.

PUBDATE: 20010301
Women who are survivors of malignancy may achieve pregnancy through oocyte donation. The largest obstacle to successful reproduction in cancer patients relates to iatrogenic damage to the primary reproductive organs associated with their primary oncology treatment. Reactive damage from surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy may render these organs nonfunctional and irreparable. In cases where the ovary is primarily affected, oocyte donation provides a logical alternative for childbearing.

PUBDATE: 19991101
Portable cellular phones and their relay stations emit ultra-high frequency waves (microwaves) with amplitude modulation and extremely low frequency pulsation. The user is absorbed by the head and reaches the nervous structures leading to increased brain temperature. The general population is exposed to a distant field with an electromagnetic intensity which depends on the distance from the emitting antennas, the presence of "passive re-emitters", and the number of communications processed by the relay station. Among the main biological effects, "radio-frequency disease", electroencephalogram disturbances, and blood pressure disorders as well as risk of cancer have been observed in humans and animals.

PUBDATE: 20001201
Selective sentinel lymphadenectomy is a standard staging procedure for patients with melanoma and is rapidly evolving into a standard procedure for breast cancer. A well-trained, multidisciplinary team is essential for the success of such a procedure. Clinical trials are under way to determine the clinical significance of sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma and breast cancer. The techniques of harvesting are being developed in other solid cancers, such as gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancer. Cellular and molecular techniques are being used to study the mechanism of micrometastasis.

Data on postmastectomy breast reconstructive surgery were examined for 52,357 female breast cancers that were treated with mastectomy and diagnosed in geographic areas covered by the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The proportion of cancers that involved reconstruction varied in these geographic areas in each age group (under age 70 years) by a factor of about four or five, even after adjustment for stage at diagnosis, marital status, and poverty rate of county of residence at diagnosis. Studies are needed to explain the large differences in reconstruction rates by geographic area.

PUBDATE: 19980401
Little is known about the early development of rectal cancer in patients with radiation-induced colitis. We describe two patients with a history of radiation colitis who developed rectal cancer. The macroscopic appearance of these lesions suggested that they arose de novo, but the histologic findings were more consistent with progression along the adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence, a hybrid of de novo lesion and adenoma. Early rectal cancer associated with chronic inflammation should be considered if a nonpolypoid adenomatous lesion is detected in a patient who has received pelvic radiation.

PUBDATE: 20000701
Adjuvant therapy is widely recommended for stage III colon cancer and stages II and III rectal cancer. Although fluorouracil-based regimens are standard, newer agents either alone or in combination may improve response rates. Although nearly all patients enter a postoperative surveillance program after surgical resection, the clinical effectiveness of such surveillance, which is not standardized, is questionable. Critical review of the use of different components (laboratory, radiographic, and endoscopic) of these programs finds little support for intensive surveillance.

Nine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human and rodent ING1 protein have been generated using an IL6-secreting mouse myeloma line. These antibodies are all effective in recognizing ING1 protein in ELISAs, Western blot assays, and by indirect immunofluorescence. Combining different CAb monoclonal antibodies in a Western blot assay also allows detection of the very low levels of endogenous ING1 found in fibroblast cells in culture and the identification of at least two isoforms of ING1 in normal human diploid fibroblasts and established brain cancer cell lines.

PUBDATE: 19980201
Superficial bladder tumor defined as pTa, pT1 and pTis stage is one of the most common cancer disease in the world. Intravesical BCGtherapy represents the best treatment when combined with transurethral resection to prevent tumor recurrence or progression and to lengthen the interval between recurrence. The toxicity is quite important but can be reduced by using the good procedure. Local or general immunostimulation is likely to be the exact mechanism of action but more data are needed.

PUBDATE: 20000301
In our previous work, we have presented an algorithm that extracts classification rules from trained neural networks and discussed its application to breast cancer diagnosis. In this paper, we describe how the accuracy of the networks and the accuracy of the rules extracted from them can be improved by a simple pre-processing of the data. Data pre-processing involves selecting the relevant input attributes and removing those samples with missing attribute values. The rules generated by our neural network rule extraction algorithm are more concise and accurate than those generated by other rule generating methods reported in the literature.

TITLE: New healthcare economics threaten HIV specialization, patient choice, & quality care.
PUBDATE: 19990101
Changes in managed care programs have forced many HIV physicians to spend a significant amount of time on non-HIV cases to support their practices. HIV patients are more negatively impacted than other high-cost patients, such as those with cancer or diabetes, because HIV is treated as part of primary care rather than being recognized as a disease needing a specialist. Health care plans often undercompensate physicians by paying at a lower rate than if HIV was treated as a disease needing specialty care. The managed care situation discourages physicians from gaining HIV expertise.

Each year, cigarette smoking causes an estimated 430,000 deaths in the United States (1). In addition, the health risks for smoking cigars, which include mouth, throat, and lung cancers, are well documented (2). This report summarizes the findings from the 1998 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) on the prevalence of current cigarette and cigar smoking in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The findings indicate that state-specific cigarette smoking prevalence among adults aged > or = 18 years varied twofold and having ever smoked a cigar (i.e., ever cigar smoking) varied nearly fourfold.

The case of rare localization of extrapulmonary tuberculosis--isolated tuberculoma of the liver--was described. The tumor was found accidentally, during abdominal ultrasound for benign prostatic enlargement. Computed enhanced tomography didn't explain the character of the tumor, so percutaneous thin-needle biopsy was performed. Preliminary histological report suggested primary liver cancer. Patient was operated on, tumor was removed with the margin of the healthy liver tissue. Histological examination of the specimen revealed the nature of the tumor. Diagnosed liver tuberculoma is usually treated without surgery.

Health problems related to the use of cellular telephones become a "hot" journalistic topic. Incompetent and uninformed authors of newspaper articles inform, deform and sometimes even frighten their users with malignant effects of electromagnetic radiation starting with impairment of psychic concentration, sleep disorders till development brain tumors. Such (and so far not proved apprehensions) have to be confound with scientific arguments. One of the first studies aimed at possibility of brain tumor formation brought about negative answer. The lack of empirical evidences of the mobile phone electromagnetic radiation cancerogenity suggests that cellular phones do not represent a serious risk of cancer.

TITLE: Synthesis and structure activity relationships of novel small molecule cathepsin D inhibitors.
PUBDATE: 19990901
Cathepsin D, a lysosomal aspartyl protease, has been implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease as well as breast and ovarian cancer. A weakly active cathepsin D inhibitor was identified by high throughput screening. Subsequent optimization led to the discovery of a new class of small molecule inhibitors of this enzyme, culminating with the sulfonamide 13 (IC50 = 250 nM).
