BACKGROUND Despite using aggressive treatment, patients with Ewing's sarcoma (ES) always show a high recurrence and a low survival rate. Ki-67 has been used widely in surgical oncology. METHODS This case report identified the Ki-67 expression in jaw bone ES from 4 adult patients operated upon

Analysis of the results of treatment in patients with orbital sarcoma at the Curie Institute, Paris, demonstrated that this previously incurable lesion can now be effectively treated by combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Late onset lesions have a better prognosis.

BACKGROUND Thalidomide has antiangiogenic and immunomodulatory properties and has recently been used in the management of human malignancies. Several studies have suggested its interest for treating AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate intraoperative brachytherapy in the management of soft tissue sarcomas involving neurovascular structures, its impact on local control and complications. METHODS Between 01/1989 and 12/2002, 98 patients received an intraoperative implant in conjunction with conservative

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) on AIDS-Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). METHODS Prospective cohort of patients followed for 24 months. METHODS Four referral hospitals of the West Paris metropolitan area. METHODS Thirty-nine AIDS-KS patients, 42 +/- 9 years

BACKGROUND Sarcomas are a rare complication of radiotherapy for breast carcinoma and patients have a poor prognosis. The incidence, histology, and management of patients with sarcomas were reviewed in the current study. METHODS The authors reviewed the records of 16,705 patients with breast

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical features of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in organ-allograft recipients and to determine the contribution of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) investigations to the management of KS. METHODS We examined 20 organ-allograft recipients with KS at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris,

We report 15 cases of symptomatic HIV infection seen in Paris between June 1983 and June 1985 in Congolese patients. The first signs were diarrhea, weight loss, fever, pruritus. Disseminated lymphadenopathy was frequent. Twelve patients had AIDS, and the opportunistic infections were: isosporosis,

During the period 1968-79, a total of 90 thoracotomies for lung metastases was performed in 76 adult patients (42 men and 34 women, aged from 16 to 72 years) treated at the Gustave Roussy Institute, Paris. Forty-three had carcinoma, 29 had sarcoma and 4 had melanoma. Thoracotomy was performed once

The aim of this study was to devise a simulation aerosol system for quasirealistic gene transfection that could eventually be used to study the characteristics of aerosol delivery, stability, delivery efficiency, and expression efficacy of gene products. It consisted of (1) a PARI aerosol generator

An antigen immunologically related to a group-specific antigen (gp52, a 52,000-dalton glycoprotein) of the mouse mammary tumor virus has been identified in paraffin sections of human breast cancers by means of the indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The specificity of the reaction with antibody

BACKGROUND Neoscytalidium species (formerly Scytalidium species) are black fungi that usually cause cutaneous infections mimicking dermatophytes lesions. Very few publications have reported invasive or disseminated infections. METHODS In this paper, we report the clinical presentations, treatments

OBJECTIVE To estimate the long-term risk of second malignancies after breast cancer treatment in a large homogeneous cohort from a single institution. METHODS All patients in this study were treated for non-metastatic breast cancer at the Curie institute, Paris, between 1981 and 2000. We calculated

We report 31 cases of AIDS-Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) studied at the Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, France, from January 1983 to January 1986. Twenty-nine cases were cutaneous KS and 2 were lymph-node KS. Twenty-eight patients were homosexual or bisexual males, 1 was a woman with transfusion-AIDS and 1 was
