In situ hybridization was performed to detect albumin mRNA in normal liver, liver cirrhosis, primary liver tumors and secondary liver neoplasms. In areas of normal liver, and liver cirrhosis, signals for albumin mRNA were present in hepatocytes, whereas no signals were seen in other cells such as
Advanced stage leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is incurable with current systemic antitumor therapies. Therefore, there is clinical interest in exploring novel therapeutic regimens to treat LMS. We reviewed the medical records of 75 consecutive patients with histologically confirmed metastatic LMS, who had
BACKGROUND
We evaluated the usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases.
METHODS
The subjects were 42 patients with upper GI tract diseases: 4 esophageal carcinomas, 30 gastric carcinomas, 5 gastric myogenic tumors,
Outcomes of palliative-intent surgery in retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are not well understood. This study aims to define indications for and outcomes after palliative-intent RPS resection.Using a retrospective 8-institution database, patients undergoing Leiomyogenic tumor of the spine is rare with limited published information. Here, the authors report the clinical features and long-term surgical outcomes and investigate the prognostic factors affecting disease-free survival (DFS).Twelve patients presented Seventeen patients undergoing 19 major urological operations for bladder cancer or rectal leiomyosarcoma (1 case) were studied after randomization for 3 hypocaloric dietary regimens, preoperative keto-adaptation by a carbohydrate-free, oral protein diet continued in the postoperative period by
Tissue- or cell-specific targeting of vectors is critical to the success of gene therapy. I describe a novel approach to viral-mediated gene therapy, where viral replication and associated cytotoxicity are limited to a specific cell-type by the regulated expression of an essential immediate-early
OBJECTIVE
Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most frequent cancers worldwide. After total gastrectomy it is necessary to reconstruct the upper part of the digestive tract. The double tract (DT) method is the optimal reconstruction procedure aftertotal gastrectomy for patients with gastric
Anthracyclines, and doxorubicin in particular, remain a mainstay of sarcoma therapy. Despite modest activity and significant toxicities, no cytotoxic monotherapy has yet yielded superior overall survival over doxorubicin for therapy of advanced soft tissue sarcomas in a randomized trial. Similarly,
Intoduction: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) encompass a group of rare tumors arising from mesenchymal tissue. Traditionally, anthracycline-based chemotherapy, with doxorubicin, is the main treatment for advanced STS. Areas covered: Aldoxorubicin is a doxorubicin derivative containing a carboxylic
OBJECTIVE
Standard therapy for advanced soft-tissue sarcoma has not changed substantially in decades, and patient prognosis remains poor. Aldoxorubicin, a novel albumin-binding prodrug of doxorubicin, showed clinical activity against advanced soft-tissue sarcoma in phase 1 studies.
OBJECTIVE
To
BACKGROUND
Data on treatment outcome and prognostic factors in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) are limited in the literature.
METHODS
A total of 119 patients with metastatic STS treated between June 2003 and December 2012 were analyzed for treatment outcome and prognostic
BACKGROUND
Serum protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a matricellular glycoprotein, which regulates cell proliferation and facilitates intracellular transport of albumin bound particles including chemotherapeutic agents such as Nab-paclitaxel/ABI-007. Therefore the presence of SPARC may
