Induction of glutathione S -transferase-Π in Barrett's metaplasia and Barrett's adenocarcinoma cell lines
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-02)
Barrett's metaplasia consists of columnar epithelium that replaces the normal esophageal mucosa in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux. Because intestinal-type Barrett's metaplasia is the major risk factor for ...
Concurrent cisplatin, paclitaxel, and radiotherapy as preoperative treatment for patients with locoregional esophageal carcinoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-11-15)
BACKGROUND A Phase II trial was conducted at the University of Michigan to determine the efficacy of a preoperative regimen of concurrent cisplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation for patients with locoregional esophageal ...
Distal chromosome 17q loss in Barrett's esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas: Implications for tumorigenesis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
The molecular genetic mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer are poorly understood. However, a novel gene that may be involved in esophageal carcinogenesis was recently localized by others to distal 17q by linkage analysis ...
Finite proliferative lifespan in vitro of a human breast cancer cell strain isolated from a metastatic lymph node
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-01)
We recently described culture conditions that allow proliferation of metastatic human breast cancer cells from biopsy specimens of certain patient samples. These conditions resulted in the development of an immortalized ...
Identification of intestinal-type Barrett's metaplasia by using the intestine-specific protein villin and esophageal brush cytology
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-02)
Villin is an actin-binding cytoskeletal protein required for brush-border formation in the normal small intestinal and renal proximal tubule epithelium. Villin is a marker of cell differentiation in small intestinal and ...
