sarcoma/albumin

Reutilization of amino acid carbons was evaluated in relation to increased turnover of albumin in tumor-bearing mice. A methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma (MCG 101) was used in nongrowing mice (C57BL/6J). Sarcoma-bearing mice developed hypoalbuminemia, but pair-fed controls did not. The

The 3-5 year survival rates of patients with disseminated Ewing's sarcoma (ES) or the closely related peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) remain low, even under aggressive treatment involving highly toxic multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. ES and PNET are sensitive to doxorubicin,

Frequent development of subcutaneous neurogenic sarcomas was observed in a hepatocellular carcinoma-producing transgenic mouse strain harboring an albumin-promoted simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen gene. Found unexpectedly in 19 out of 306 mice (6.2%) by 6 months of age, all the sarcomas were

Improvements have been made in the synthesis of a drug-carrier-antibody conjugate using methotrexate as the drug, human serum albumin as the carrier, and a monoclonal antibody against a human osteogenic sarcoma cell line (791T/36). The improvements have resulted in a higher and more reproducible

BACKGROUND Soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors with a wide clinical spectrum. Prognostic factors for survival have been identified, but they have been focused in the characteristics of the tumor. Patient related variables have not usually been considered in previous analysis. METHODS We analyzed a

In order to improve the deposition of mitomycin C (MMC) in the administered site, water-insoluble mitomycin C-albumin conjugate (MMC-G-BSA) was prepared. MMC was covalently attached to the glutarylated bovine serum albumin (G-BSA) in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl) carbodiimide

The combination of docetaxel and gemcitabine is frequently used to treat recurrent bone sarcoma. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is less toxic and more active than docetaxel or paclitaxel for breast cancer patients. The combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine has

In this study, the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in pediatric oncology patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) and neuroblastoma (NB) were analyzed. To date, there have been no studies concerning IMA in these groups of patients. Ninety-nine children with STSs and NB were analyzed from

Magnetic albumin microspheres (1 micron average diameter) were selectively targeted to subcutaneous solid Yoshida sarcoma tumors (average size 450 mm2) in Holtzman rats. This was accomplished by placing an external magnet adjacent to the tumor while the microspheres were infused. Microspheres

Cells of osteogenic sarcoma line 791T were treated in vitro with a selectively cytotoxic methotrexate-human serum albumin-monoclonal antibody conjugate at concentrations which were toxic but allowed the "escape" of a small number of tumour cell colonies (less than 0.3% compared with controls). These

UNASSIGNED The preoperative C-reactive protein/Albumin ratio (CAR) is valuable for predicting the prognosis of patients with various types of cancers. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prognostic value of the preoperative CAR and compare it with other systemic inflammatory response

Magnetically responsive albumin microspheres containing doxorubicin and magnetite (Fe3O4) were selectively targeted to Yoshida sarcoma tumors in rats by utilizing an extracorporeal magnet. Tumor cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the tail of rats, and the tumors were allowed to grow to an

Plasma albumin concentration declines in both experimental and clinical cancer. Previous investigations have demonstrated that this is partly explained by increased breakdown of albumin. The present study has identified the tissue sites for increased albumin degradation in a nonmetastasizing sarcoma

Magnetically responsive albumin microspheres containing doxorubicin hydrochloride were selectively localized in Yoshida sarcoma tumors. Tumors were implanted subcutaneously in the tail of Holtzman rats and allowed to grow to at least 200 mm2 size before initiation of experimental treatment.
