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.

PUBDATE: 19900901
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.

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.

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.

The diagnosis of malignancy in childhood is challenging. Signs and symptoms are generally nonspecific, and children with an underlying malignancy rarely are seriously ill at the time of initial presentation. A thorough history and physical examination are the most important components of the emergency physician's assessment of children in whom cancer is suspected. There are a number of risk factors, physical findings, and clinical syndromes that indicate the need for careful evaluation of which the emergency physician should be aware.

Transgenic mice carrying bacterial reporter genes have been developed to study spontaneous or induced mutations in vivo. Mutations can be analysed upon the efficient retrieval of reporter genes from mouse genomic DNA into a suitable bacterial host. These systems allow, for the first time, the direct correlation of mutational mechanisms in vivo with their ultimate physiological endpoints, for example, cancer or ageing.

This article describes the development and application of a theoretical framework that can be used to guide pediatric oncology nursing practice and research. The framework's six dimensions provide the nurse with an approach to comprehensive assessment and intervention with families of children with cancer. These dimensions are: systems (individual, family, community, society); mediating variables (identifying characteristics, orientation to life); time; adaptation variables (stressors, coping strategies); level of functioning (tasks, capabilities, needs); and intervention.

Fucose is believed to be a marker for cancer that may be detectable by the 2D proton NMR (COSY) of human plasma. However, the COSY technique is time consuming and prone to error. These problems may be alleviated by using the SUPERCOSY pulse sequence; this technique shows that there are many other cross peaks in the region (1.3, 4.2 ppm) which are not readily distinguishable from fucose.

As selenium has been shown to be a risk modifier of cancer at several sites in a case-control approach, selenium nutriture was studied in oral and oesophageal cancer patients. The mean selenium level in oral cancer patients was 102.6 ng/ml and in oesophageal cancer 103.3 ng/ml, while in the matched controls it was 117.5 and 116.2 ng/ml respectively. Relative risk estimates were 3.16 (P < 0.02) and 16.0 (P < 0.01) in oral and oesophageal cancer patients respectively. The risk appears to increase with selenium levels lower than 115 ng/ml.

Meticulous correlation of mammographic and pathologic findings is essential to improve detection and understanding of the many processes that affect the breast. A review of recent radiologic papers dealing with several breast cancer variants as well as two benign lesions, the radial scar and the breast hamartoma, is presented. Important papers from the pathologic, oncologic, and radiologic literature are reviewed. These papers described the evolving concepts of proliferative breast disease as risk markers, as well as insights into prognostic differences among the histologic subtypes of ductal carcinoma in situ.
