phenylalanine/breast neoplasms

Prolonged 1-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) administration as an adjuvant to mastectomy in the management of patients with primary breast cancer and pathologically positive axillary nodes was evaluated by a prospective, randomized, clinical trial. Treatment failures occurred in 22 per cent of 108

Breast cancer patients participating in a prospective randomized clinical trial who were less than or equal to 49 years of age, had positive axillary nodes, and who received prolonged 1-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) as an adjuvant to mastectomy continue (after 4 years) to demonstrate a significantly

172 patients who had had mastectomy for breast cancer were treated by repeated adjuvant chemotherapy, either with phenylalanine mustard (P.A.M.) or a combination of cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil, and prednisone (C.F.P.) with and without radiotherapy. Tumours recurred significantly more frequently

Between September 1976 and May 1980, 135 patients with operable breast cancer and positive axillary nodes received l-phenylalanine mustard, adjunct to surgery, 0.15 mg/kg for five days, six weekly, and were randomised prospectively to levamisole 150 mg for three days, two weekly, or a placebo.

Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase (eEF2K) is a Ca2+/calmudulin-dependent protein kinase, belonging to a small family of an atypical Ser/Thr-protein kinase. eEF2K has been recently reported to be highly activated or overexpressed in many types of cancer; therefore, eEF2K would be regarded as a

Between 1972 and 1974, patients were entered into a National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) trial to evaluate L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) as an adjuvant to mastectomy in patients with primary breast cancer and pathologically positive axillary nodes. Overall, findings through

The Southwest Oncology Group in a prospective randomized study compared one year of adjuvant combination chemotherapy with continuous CMFVP to two years of intermittent L-PAM in women with operable breast cancer with histologically positive axillary lymph nodes. In fully evaluable patients with a

Cisplatin (cis-diaminodichloroplatinum, CDDP) loaded methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (glutamic acid-co-phenyl alanine) [mPEG-b-P (Glu10 -co-Phe10 ) (PGlu10 ) and mPEG-b-P (Glu20 -co-Phe10 ) (PGlu20 )] nanoparticles with two different formulations (CDDP/PGlu10 and CDDP/PGlu20 ) are

Binary [Cu(PAIC)(H2O)2]·H2O (1) and mixed ligand [Cu(PAIC)(L)]·2H2O complexes, where PAIC=phenylalanine imidazole carboxylic acid, L=diimine coligands [2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) (2) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (3)] have been synthesized and fully characterized by analytical and spectral techniques.

IGFBP5 is an important regulatory protein in breast cancer progression. We tried to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between breast tumor tissues with IGFBP5 overexpression and their adjacent normal tissues. In this study, thirty-eight breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissue

Neutrophil migration is a key host event against infection. Chemotherapy may alter neutrophil function and favor increased risk of infection. Herein, we investigated the effect of chemotherapy on the migration capacity of circulating neutrophils obtained from breast cancer patients and mechanisms

Bone metastasis has a major impact on the quality of life that general therapy cannot control. We established a bone metastasis model with a human breast cancer cell line and investigated the therapeutic effect of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). BNCT suppressed tumor growth in cases of
