TITLE: Sentinel lymph node biopsy using lymphoscintigraphy.
PUBDATE: 19981001
Cancer surgery has existed as an elective treatment modality for more than 150 years, yet it is relatively unsophisticated in light of the advances seen in other medical disciplines. Using the nuclear medicine technique of lymphoscintigraphy (i.e., mapping lymph nodes using a radioactive isotope), the surgeon can perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy that targets only the lymph nodes that first drain a primary tumor site. This procedure can provide accurate staging information without risking the potential morbidity associated with lymph node dissection. This type of precise biopsy is made possible by using a gamma-detecting instrument coupled with an ultrasensitive probe designed for intraoperative use.

Campylobacter fetus is a rare cause of bone and joint infection. We report a new case in a patient who also had endocarditis due to the same organism. This type of infection usually occurs in immunocompromised hosts. Investigations in our patient found a cancer of the prostate.

PUBDATE: 19980501
The authors mailed a pilot survey to 500 randomly selected general dentists. Although most dentists reported their knowledge of oral cancer to be current, their actual knowledge of oral cancer risk factors and signs and symptoms was inconsistent. Conflicting data were also found between their level of knowledge and their provision of oral cancer examinations. Most respondents agreed that patients should undergo an oral cancer examination annually, yet many do not provide this service.

TITLE: [The key enzyme of cholesterol synthesis pathway: HMG-CoA reductase and disease]
PUBDATE: 19990101
In eukaryotes, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase is a key enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of a precusor of cholesterol as well as non-sterol isoprenoids, mevalonate. The regulation of the enzyme activity occurs at the transcription, post-transcription, translation and protein degradation levels. Cholesterol contributes to the generation and development of atherosclerosis while non-sterol isoprenoids play a role in regulation of cell proliferation, signal transduction and generation of cancers. At present, the enzyme is the target of several drugs effective against atherosclerosis.

PUBDATE: 20040901
Great progress has been made in the field of tumor immunology in the past decade, but optimism about the clinical application of currently available cancer vaccine approaches is based more on surrogate endpoints than on clinical tumor regression. In our cancer vaccine trials of 440 patients, the objective response rate was low (2.6%), and comparable to the results obtained by others. We consider here results in cancer vaccine trials and highlight alternate strategies that mediate cancer regression in preclinical and clinical models.

Disruption of the normal regulation of cell-cycle progression and division lies at the heart of the events leading to cancer. Complex networks of regulatory factors, the tumour microenvironment and stress signals, such as those resulting from damaged DNA, dictate whether cancer cells proliferate or die. Recent progress in understanding the molecular changes that underlie cancer development offer the prospect of specifically targeting malfunctioning molecules and pathways to achieve more effective and rational cancer therapy.

OBJECTIVE: Prosthetic treatment for speech disorders attributable to surgically acquired soft palate defects are introduced. CASE: A patient who underwent soft palate resection for cancer is presented. The resected portion of the soft palate was confined to the posterior segments. A prosthesis with a speech bulb was adapted to the patient. CONCLUSION: Excellent restoration of speech and improvement of velopharyngeal function was achieved following placement of the special prosthesis.

PUBDATE: 20031101
The gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor is becoming an increasingly attractive target for development of new radiolabeled peptides with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. The attractiveness of the GRP receptor as a target is based upon the functional expression of GRP receptors in several tumors of neuroendocrine origin including prostate, breast, and small cell lung cancer. This concise review outlines some of the efforts currently underway to develop new GRP receptor specific radiopharmaceuticals by employing a variety of radiometal chelation systems.

PUBDATE: 20020301
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have long been associated with cancer-cell invasion and metastasis. This provided the rationale for clinical trials of MMP inhibitors, unfortunately with disappointing results. We now know, however, that the MMPs have functions other than promotion of invasion, have substrates other than components of the extracellular matrix, and that they function before invasion in the development of cancer. With this knowledge in hand, can we rethink the use of MMP inhibitors in the clinic?

TITLE: HER2/HER3 heterodimers in prostate cancer: Whither HER1/EGFR?
PUBDATE: 20041101
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Mellinghoff et al. (2004) demonstrate that a small molecule inhibitor of the EGF receptor (EGFR) and the HER2/ErbB2/c-Neu kinase blocks signaling to the androgen receptor by a mechanism that involves HER2/HER3 heterodimerization. Surprisingly, the EGFR is peripheral to this signaling mechanism. These results have implications for the design of targeted therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

TITLE: Role of bisphosphonates in prostate cancer bone metastases.
PUBDATE: 20031001
Bisphosphonate inhibitors of bone resorption have a variety of positive actions against prostate cancer cells in vitro and in preclinical animal models. In patients, they can reduce skeletal-related events and bone pain, as well as reduce the adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy on skeletal integrity. The preclinical and clinical data to support this are reviewed here. Further clinical trials are required to determine whether bisphosphonates decrease tumor burden or increase patient survival or quality of life, and whether such adjuvant treatments will be cost-effective.

TITLE: [Lymph node clearance.]
PUBDATE: 20051201
The goal of mediastinal sampling or a radical lymph node resection after lung cancer resection is to correctly stage the illness to enable a more accurate assessment of prognosis. Metastasis to mediastinal nodes may be encountered even in small peripheral T1 tumours. Radical lymph node resection often uncovers metastases that would have been missed by mediastinal sampling alone. The morbidity associated with radical node resection is very low, and long term survival appears to be improved, compared with node sampling. At present, lymph node staging has little influence on the choice of adjuvant treatments.
