A BALB/c murine lung alveolar carcinoma used to establish a surgical spontaneous metastasis model
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-10)
Line-1, a weakly immunogenic lung tumor cell line derived from the BALB/c mouse, metastasizes spontaneously to the lungs of mice following subcutaneous administration. The parameters that influence metastasis as well as ...
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 ...
Cryoablation for breast cancer: No need to turn a cold shoulder
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-05-01)
No Abstract.
RhoC-GTPase is a Novel Tissue Biomarker Associated with Biologically Aggressive Carcinomas of the Breast
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-09)
Background. There is a need for reliable predictors of breast cancer aggressiveness that will further refine the staging classification and help guide the implementation of novel therapies. We have identified RhoC as being ...
Do cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute have better surgical outcomes?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-02-01)
BACKGROUND The National Cancer Institute (NCI) designates cancer centers as regional centers of excellence in research and patient care. Although these centers often advertise their superior outcomes, their relative ...
Cryoablation of Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Work-in-Progress Report of a Multi-Institutional Trial
(Springer-Verlag; The Society of Surgical Oncology, Inc., 2004-05)
With recent improvements in breast imaging, our ability to identify small breast tumors has markedly improved, prompting significant interest in the use of ablation without surgical excision to treat early-stage breast ...
Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Patients With Local Recurrence After Breast-Conservation Therapy
(Springer-Verlag; The Society of Surgical Oncology, Inc., 2006-01)
Local recurrence (LR) after breast-conservation therapy for breast cancer occurs in 10% to 15% of cases. A subset of these represents biologically aggressive disease, yet prognostic features for identifying this high-risk ...
The state of quality indicators in surgical oncology

Merkel cell carcinoma: Critical review with guidelines for multidisciplinary management
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-07-01)
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a relatively rare cutaneous malignancy that occurs predominantly in the older white population. The incidence of MCC appears to have tripled during the past 20 years; an increase that is ...
The impact of factors beyond Breslow depth on predicting sentinel lymph node positivity in melanoma
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-01-01)
BACKGROUND. In addition to Breslow depth, the authors previously described how increasing mitotic rate and decreasing age predicted sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases in patients with melanoma. The objectives of the ...
