Establishment, characterization and drug sensitivity testing in primary cultures of human thymoma and thymic carcinoma.
Thymomas and thymic carcinomas are peculiar epithelial tumors of the anterior mediastinum. They may show aggressive clinical behavior and are a paradigm for the interaction between the tumor and the immune system. So far, adequate functional studies enabling […]
Bcl-xL antisense oligonucleotide and cisplatin combination therapy extends survival in SCID mice with established mesothelioma xenografts.
Bcl-xL functions as a dominant regulator of apoptotic cell death and is implicated in chemotherapeutic resistance of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Mesothelioma cell lines demonstrate increasing levels of Bcl-xL as resistant clones are selected invitro. Moreover, upon […]
Eradication of established renal cell carcinoma by a combination of 5-fluorouracil and anti-4-1BB monoclonal antibody in mice.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), one of the most incurable malignancies, is highly resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Cytokine immunotherapy has been the standard approach, but the overall response rate is still very low. Administration of agonistic […]
Marked differences in survival rate between smokers and nonsmokers with HPV 16-associated tonsillar carcinomas.
Oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) is a causative agent in a subgroup of head and neck carcinomas, particularly tonsillar squamous cell carcinomas (TSCC). This study was undertaken because controversial data exist on the physical status of HPV-DNA and the use […]
Expression pattern and circulating levels of endostatin in patients with pancreas cancer.
Endostatin is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis that is cleaved from the basement membrane protein type XVIII collagen. Expression of endostatin has recently been shown by Western blot analysis of tissue lysates in normal pancreas and pancreas cancer tissue. We show […]
Reversible optic neuropathy with OPA1 exon 5b mutation.
A new c.740G>A (R247H) mutation in OPA1 alternate spliced exon 5b was found in a patient presenting with bilateral optic neuropathy followed by partial, spontaneous visual recovery. R247H fibroblasts from the patient and his unaffected father presented unusual highly tubular mitochondrial network, significant increased susceptibility […]
Fatal familial insomnia: Clinical features and early identification.
Our aim was to develop a detailed clinical description of fatal familial insomnia in a large patient group with respect to the M129V genotype. Data on 41 German fatal familial insomnia patients were analyzed. Clinical features, 14-3-3 proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid, magnetic resonance imaging, […]
Sequential treatment for recurrent localized prostate cancer.
To compare toxicity and efficacy of both salvage prostatectomy and salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer a retrospective analysis was conducted. Thirty-two and 41 patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy or prostatectomy for cT1c-T2 prostate cancer later requiring salvage surgery or radiotherapy. Salvage surgery was performed […]
Local recurrence after primary therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer: Is radiation or surgery \”Better\” in the salvage setting?
