OBJECTIVE
The incidence of flutamide-related liver toxicity was studied in 1,091 consecutive patients treated for stage C or D prostate cancer with the antiandrogen flutamide and the luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (LHRH) agonist [D-Trp6, des-Gly-NH2(10)] LHRH ethylamide.
METHODS
Liver function
BACKGROUND
A range of response proportions have been reported using the same single-agent inpatients with hormone refractory prostatic cancer. To assess whether these results were due to imbalances in prognostic factors, the authors evaluated a series of prognostic factors for survival in patients
OBJECTIVE
Although many factors related to the tumor or the hepatic functional reserve may affect the outcome of partial hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), these factors have not yet been intensively investigated in patients with solitary HCC. The purpose of this study is to determine
The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate Zingiber officinale paste against Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA)-induced tumours in Swiss albino mice. Experimental animals received Z. officinale paste (low dose 100 mg/kg bw and high dose 500 mg/kg bw) orally for eight alternative days.
Fisetin, a natural flavonoid found in a variety of edible and medical plants, has been suggested to inhibit the proliferation of various tumor cells and to induce apoptosis. However, the effects of fisetin on breast cancer have rarely been reported and the underlying mechanism is still undefined.
This phase I study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT00424632) evaluated the safe dose, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the aurora kinase A and B inhibitor, PF-03814735. Patients with advanced solid tumours received oral, once-daily (QD) PF-03814735 on Schedule A: days 1-5 (5-100mg); or Schedule
One hundred ten primary hepatic neoplasms, excluding hematopoietic and vascular tumors, were diagnosed in 12,245 canine necropsies. Included were 55 hepatocellular carcinomas, 24 bile duct carcinomas, 2 combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinomas, 15 carcinoids and 14 sarcomas. A majority of the
The chemoprotective effects of combined ebselen and allopurinol in breast (MTLn3) and ovarian (NuTu-19) cancer models using a repeated cisplatin dosing schedule (6 mg/kg i.p.x3 weeks) were studied. Otoprotection was evaluated using auditory evoked brainstem response (ABR) to determine threshold and
Exposure to nitrosamines may be the occupational risk factor for liver cirrhosis. 2-(Allylthio)pyrazine, a chemopreventive agent, inhibits CYP2E1 and induces phase II enzymes. We examined the effects of 2-(allylthio)pyrazine on hepatic fibrosis, a prepathologic state of cirrhosis, and on the
OBJECTIVE
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a group of recognized risk factors for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic liver disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of HCC patients with MS and the risk factors for
An investigation of the aqueous ethanolic extract (AE) of the aerial parts of Torilis radiata Moench yielded two triterpenes (lupeol acetate (1) and α-amyrin (2)), a sterol (spinasterol (3)) from its n-hexane fraction (HF), a flavone (acacetin (4)), a coumarin (scopoletin (5)), a phenolic acid
Apoptosis involves a phenomenon termed mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) which induces permeability of a voltage-dependent pore to solutes of smaller than 1500Da. Induction of MPT pore is beneficial in case of tumour cells while inhibition of the pore is relevant in conditions such as
Due to its high incidence and poor prognosis, gastric cancer is an important health problem worldwide. The liver is the most frequent site of metastases. Advanced cancer in the setting of liver dysfunction poses a dilemma for physicians, as many cancer chemotherapeutic agents undergo hepatic
We have addressed in the current study the postulate whether or not carnitine deficiency would represent a risk factor in hepatotoxicity. Carnitine-deficient male Swiss albino rats were obtained following administration of D-carnitine (500 mg/kg, IP) for 10 consecutive days. Serum and liver
Syrian hamsters were given in a single dose of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)-amine (BOP) (40 mg/kg, s.c.) and 1 week later were fed 1 of 4 retinoid types (13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA), N-ethylretinamide (ERA), 2-hydroxyethylretinamide (OH-ERA), or 4-hydroxyphenylretinamide (PRA)) each at 3 levels
