[123I]-iodo-L-phenylalanine was successfully evaluated for gamma camera imaging in vivo in tumor-bearing athymic mice and in humans with brain tumors. Here, we report the use of this tracer in two dogs with synovial cell sarcoma of the tarsus. [123I]-iodo-L-phenylalanine was quantitatively prepared

The clinical characteristics and response to therapy of a patient with meningeal sarcoma, one of four patients over a twenty-five year period at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, are described. The light and electron microscopic characteristics of the primary tumor and as a heterotransplant in

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare melanocytic malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Our previous study demonstrated that in vitro cultured CCS cells have the ability to highly uptake l-BPA and thus boron neutron capture therapy could be a new option for CCS treatment. This paper proved that a

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS), a rare malignant tumor with a predilection for young adults, is of poor prognosis. Recently however, boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) with the use of p-borono-L-phenylalanine (BPA) for malignant melanoma has provided good results. CCS also produces melanin; therefore,

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. In the present study, we established a lung metastasis animal model of CCS and investigated the therapeutic effect of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) using p-borono-L-phenylalanine (L-BPA). Biodistribution data revealed

Clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses (CCS) is a rare malignant tumor with no effective treatment. This study demonstrates the efficacy of BNCT with the use of human CCS-bearing nude mice. Groups A and C were administered saline, and groups B and D were injected with

Fifty-nine patients with melanoma or soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities underwent hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion utilizing cisplatin and wide local excision. Doses of cisplatin ranged from 0.75 to 2 mg/kg. The mortality and morbidity rates were 0 and 6.8 percent, respectively.

Clear cell sarcoma of tendons and aponeuroses (CCS) is a rare, malignant tumor arising in lower extremities with no effective treatment other than wide surgical resection. Here described is a case of primary CCS in the peroneal tendon of the right foot of a 54-year-old woman enrolled to undergo

Comparison is made of the development of resistance to cyclophosphamide (CPA) and L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM), of cross-resistance, and chromosome counts, in Walker 256 (W256), rat sarcoma R3 (R3), leukemia L1210, and Ridgway osteogenic sarcoma. For development of resistance the single maximum

Resistance of mouse M5076 (M5) ovarian reticular cell sarcoma to cyclophosphamide (CTX) was obtained in vivo by repeated drug treatment followed by transplantation of the regrowing tumor. After 16 passages, we obtained an M5 subline resistant to CTX (M5-CTX-16R). Median survival times were

Soft tissue sarcomas continue to present problems with both local control of disease and death from distant metastases after accepted surgical therapy. Multimodality management has been established in the literature to be superior to traditional therapy of wide excision or amputation. The results of

It is axiomatic that a given dose of an antitumor agent will not produce the same effect in 100% of the treated subjects. Numerous explanations regarding the sources of this heterogeneous response to drugs have been offered; however, there is a scarcity of experimental data allowing critical

In 1930 the determination of serum alkaline phosphatase in patients with bone or liver disease ushered in the era of clinical enzymology. The association of elevated (bone) alkaline phosphatase in serum of patients with osteogenic sarcoma was the first evidence that tumor cells themselves produced
