A midpoint assessment of the American Cancer Society challenge goal to halve the U.S. cancer mortality rates between the years 1990 and 2015 See related editorial on pages 000-000, this issue.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07-15)
BACKGROUND. The American Cancer Society has challenged the U.S. to reduce cancer mortality rates 50% over the 25 years from 1990 to 2015. The current report is an analysis and commentary on progress toward that goal through ...
Actin polymerization in cellular oxidant injury
(Elsevier, 1991-08-01)
Microfilaments undergo an ATP-dependent disruption into shortened bundles following cellular exposure to oxidants. This phenomenon does not require a net change in the amount of polymerized actin. However, increased amounts ...
An academic health center cost analysis of screening mammography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09-01)
BACKGROUND The current study sought to determine the institutional financial impact of a screening mammography (SM) program in the context of an integrated cancer center. METHODS Using administrative databases, 10,048 ...
Activation by anti-CD3 of tumor-draining lymph node cells for specific adoptive immunotherapy
(Elsevier, 1991-05)
Lymph nodes draining progressive tumors contain tumor-sensitized but not functional preeffector T lymphocytes. These cells can acquire antitumor reactivity after stimulation with tumor cells and interleukin-2 (IL-2). We ...
A cellular model of oxidant-mediated neuronal injury
(Elsevier, 1993-06-25)
Oxidants derived from the partial reduction of oxygen are thought to play a significant role in neuronal injury. We present here a cellular model of neuronal injury mediated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using the PC 12 rat ...
Is there a benefit to sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with T4 melanoma?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-12-15)
BACKGROUND: Controversy exists as to whether patients with thick (Breslow depth >4 mm), clinically lymph node-negative melanoma require sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. The authors examined the impact of SLN biopsy on ...
Distinct immunologic specificity of tumor regression mediated by effector cells isolated from immunized and tumor-bearing mice
(Elsevier, 1989-05)
Sensitized T lymphocytes can mediate potent antitumor effects when transferred to tumorbearing animals. Employing the MCA 105 and MCA 106 sarcomas, we were able to generate antitumor effector cells by immunization of ...
Medicare Payments for Common Inpatient Procedures: Implications for Episode-Based Payment Bundling
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2010-12)
Aiming to align provider incentives toward improving quality and efficiency, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services is considering broader bundling of hospital and physician payments around episodes of inpatient ...
