Fever and neutropenia (FN) is a common complication of chemotherapy for cancer. Prompt empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy in FN is typically considered standard of care, but the definition of prompt is not clear. We seek to systematically review the available data on the Diffuse carcinomatous leptomeningeal metastases "carcinomatous meningitis") have the usual clinical course involving multifocal nerve root deficits and a variable diffuse encephalopathy. In contrast, we describe a patient with carcinomatous leptomeningeal metastases who presented with clinical signs
BACKGROUND
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for gastric cancer patients. Neoadjuvant treatments as the administration of therapeutic agents before a main treatment gained in more and more attention. However, the role of
Fresh cells from two grade 3 human malignant astrocytomas were prelabeled with Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutin (PHAL) and then xenografted into freshly made implantation pockets in rat host cerebral cortex. Animals were sacrificed at 7, 14, 21 days, and 1 month postimplantation (DPI). Paraffin
Tamoxifen is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen used as the current adjuvant endocrine treatment of choice for premenopausal women treated for breast cancer and its potential for causing fetal harm during pregnancy remains inconclusive. While the evidence of tamoxifen's effects on humans in utero is
We recently showed that the antiapoptotic function of insulin requires nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation (Bertrand, F., Atfi, A., Cadoret, A., L'Allemain, G., Robin, H., Lascols, O., Capeau, J., and Cherqui, G. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 2931-2938). Here we sought to identify the
Two models for meningeal neoplasia have been developed in rats using intrathecal injection of 9L gliosarcoma and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells. Tumor cells were injected in unanesthetized animals through an indwelling catheter inserted at the cisterna magna to the level of the lumbar enlargement
BACKGROUND
Lung cancer is the most common neoplasm and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounting for 85% of all lung cancer cases, is frequently diagnosed at an advanced and metastatic stage. In addition, survival of patients with NSCLC has
Background: Regular off-treatment imaging is often used to assess for recurrence of disease after childhood cancer treatment. It is unclear if this increases survival, or what burden surveillance places on patients, families, or health-care services. This
We experienced a rare case of leptomeningeal melanomatosis. The proliferative activity and nuclear accumulation of p53 in this tumor were examined, since the relationship between this tumor type and growth has not yet been elucidated. A 33-year-old Japanese man was shown to have leptomeningeal
The Nobel prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2005 was presented to Barry Marshall and Robin Warren for their discovery of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), but only the involvement of this germ in gastritis and peptic ulcer has been mentioned in the award sentence, while numerous epidemiological, clinical
Objectives: To compare the outcomes of extended right hemicolectomy (ERH), left hemicolectomy (LH), and segmental colectomy (SC) for the surgical management of splenic flexure tumours.
Methods:
The results from the recent International Duration Evaluation of Adjuvant Therapy (IDEA) collaboration have led some clinicians to adopt shorter durations of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage III colon cancer. The extent to which these findings are supported by other data We report an autopsy case of an 82-year-old woman with progressive dementia due to miliary brain metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. The patient presented with dementia 5 months prior to death and suddenly died of pulmonary hemorrhage. Postmortem examination revealed normal appearance of the brain.
