Effect of p53 overexpression on radiation sensitivity of human colon cancer cells
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
Substantial controversy surrounds our understanding of the effect of p53 status on radiation sensitivity. To assess directly the role of p53 expression on radiation sensitivity, we chose a conditional expression system ...
Imaging Changes after Stereotactic Radiosurgery of Primary and Secondary Malignant Brain Tumors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-01)
After radiosurgery of malignant tumors, it can be difficult to discriminate between transient treatment effects, radiation necrosis, and tumor progression on post-treatment imaging. Misinterpretation of an enlarging lesion ...
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 ...
Dosimetric comparison of bolus and continuous injections of CC49 monoclonal antibody in a colon cancer xenograft model Presented at the Sixth Conference on Radioimmunodetection and Radioimmunotherapy of Cancer, Princeton, New Jersey, October 10-12, 1996.
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-12-15)
BACKGROUND Improved understanding of dose and effective dose calculations may contribute to the optimization of fractionated radioimmunotherapy. METHODS Comparison three-dimensional tumor dosimetry was performed on ...
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 ...
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 ...
Is lobular carcinoma in situ as a component of breast carcinoma a risk factor for local failure after breast-conserving therapy? Presented in part at the 46th American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Meeting, Atlanta, Georgia, October 3–7, 2004.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-01-01)
BACKGROUND The goals of the current study were to compare the clinicopathologic presentations of patients with lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) as a component of breast carcinoma who were treated with breast conserving ...
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 ...
