TITLE: Cancer of the skin in the next century.
PUBDATE: 19950701
One can confidently predict that the 21st century will be a span of intense activity in unraveling the precise molecular and biochemical events that lead to the various forms of cutaneous cancers. These discoveries will lead to new approaches in our therapeutic armamentarium that currently do not exist. Eventually, the incidence rates and mortality rates from cancers of the skin will markedly decline--the finite goal of all the combined endeavors of the scientific and practicing medical community.

TITLE: The carcinogenicity of chrysotile asbestos.
PUBDATE: 19911201
In in vitro test systems, chrysotile is markedly toxic, causes chromosomal aberrations, and is capable of inducing morphological and preneoplastic transformation. In carefully designed animal experiments, chrysotile produces lung cancer and mesothelioma as effectively as do the amphiboles tested. Human population studies do not refute these experimental results. Chrysotile asbestos is carcinogenic to humans, especially for the induction of lung cancer and mesothelioma in exposed populations. For cancers of other sites, with the exception of laryngeal and possibly gastrointestinal cancer, the evidence for association with exposure to all forms of asbestos, including chrysotile, is not yet adequate for evaluation.

Sleeve lobectomy is the alternative procedure to pneumonectomy. It can be an operation of choice for lung cancer, if technically feasible, and is the ideal procedure for low grade pulmonary malignancies and inflammatory bronchial strictures. Precise radiologic bronchoscopic assessment defines the need and probability for sleeve lobectomy. Close adherence to precise technical principles will achieve excellent clinical results with a low morbidity and mortality.

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, cancer and other conditions. Although generalized obesity is associated with increased risk, the android pattern of body fat distribution may be a more sensitive predictor of coronary artery disease. A gradual weight reduction program, including adherence to a low-fat, calorie-restricted diet and participation in daily exercise, is the best approach to reduce weight and body fat.

TITLE: Staging of lung cancer.
PUBDATE: 19900501
Lung cancer is in epidemic proportions throughout the world. It is imperative that a simple, accurate staging system be used to direct treatment and evaluate its effects on long-term survival. The staging system must be the basis for current and future research on the newer adjuvant treatments for lung cancer. It should be internationally accepted, enabling a worldwide effort to improve survival. The new AJCC staging system meets these requirements, with early international reports confirming its usefulness and validity. The diagnostic radiologist, often directs the pretreatment workup of these patients and should be familiar with this new system.

PUBDATE: 19930401
Ablative surgery for pyriform sinus cancer often leaves a defect which cannot be closed primarily. Many techniques for hypopharyngeal reconstruction have been described but no single technique can be recommended for use in all situations. The prevertebral fascia flap described in this article provides an alternative to hypopharyngeal repair when a more complex technique is contra-indicated. It is a one stage procedure, fashioned with locally available tissue, and technically simple. Its use in two anecdotal cases is described herewith.

TITLE: Routine screening for cancer of the prostate.
PUBDATE: 19910301
The value of screening for prostate cancer remains unclear. Although digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasonography, and determination of serum prostate-specific antigen levels may lead to early detection of a malignancy, these procedures have never been shown to reduce disease-specific mortality from prostate cancer. Unfortunately, several potential errors found in uncontrolled trials may suggest benefit from screening where none exists. Only a large, randomized, controlled clinical study demonstrating decreased mortality from prostate cancer can prove that screening is beneficial. Until such a study is performed, patients should be informed of both the potential benefits and the risks of screening and treatment.

PUBDATE: 19960901
The purpose of this study was to clarify the indication of prophylactic hepatic arterial-infusion chemotherapy (PHAIC) after hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer. Sixty-one patients underwent curative hepatectomy, and 27 of them were treated with PHAIC using implantable port. According to clinicopathological factors of primary colorectal cancer and liver metastases, the prognoses were analyzed. In conclusion, PHAIC was not useful for patients who had distant lymph node metastases (paraaortic lymph node) from primary cancer.

Epidemiological studies revealed increased cancer mortality among persons who began working at the Mayak complex during the period 1948-1958. Estimation of cancer risk was carried out for the sites of cancer that showed increased mortality and dependence on dose of external gamma- or internal alpha-irradiation.

The detection of aerobic, anaerobic, fungal and mycobacterial microorganisms was repeatedly negative and was finally found to be an abscessed metastasis of epidermoid lung cancer. The aspects related to psoas abscess, muscular metastasis of bronchogenic carcinoma and the association between tuberculosis and lung cancer are discussed.

Alteration in appearance, impacting on identity, can occur when cancer or other chronic illness strikes. Patients and families need assistance in coping with changes and redefining a sense of self during treatment and beyond. This article examines some common effects of therapy and disease on appearance and outlines a nursing plan of care to assist the patient in regaining acceptance in the outer world.

TITLE: Cellular uptake and intracellular fate of antisense oligonucleotides.
PUBDATE: 19920501
Antisense oligonucleotides with sequences complementary to a given genetic target can enter cells in sufficient quantities to selectively inhibit gene expression. Thus, they have a potential therapeutic use in preventing undesirable gene expression in diseases such as cancer and AIDS. However, it is remarkable that these molecules, which have high molecular weights and are often charged, gain entry to cells at all. In this article, we review the possible mechanisms by which oligonucleotides enter cells and their subsequent intracellular fates. We also discuss current approaches for improving cellular uptake and delivery of antisense nucleic acids to their intended targets.

PUBDATE: 19901201
Nutrition therapy is accepted to represent an important part of therapeutic strategy in cancer patients. In correlation to general clinical state, nutritional condition and anti-cancer therapy, nutrition has to be planned according to a stepwise concept. Under certain circumstances, enteral tube feeding is indicated. This procedure is affected by tumor lesions, digestion, resorption and tumor related metabolic disorders, and side effects of particulate anti-cancer therapy. In tumor patients, elemental (chemically defined) diets are predominant. Polymeric diets, however, occasionally represent another possible nutritional tool.

This article describes the methods used for the purification of heat shock proteins gp96, hsp90, and hsp70 from murine and human tissues and cell lines. The heat shock proteins purified by the methods described are associated noncovalently with an array of cellular peptides. The use of heat shock protein-peptide complexes for eliciting prophylactic and therapeutic immunity to cancers and infectious diseases is discussed.
