The lymphatic system serves as the primary route for the metastasis of many cancers and the extent of lymph node involvement is the most important indicator of tumor aggressiveness. Despite the apparent importance of the lymphatic vessels for tumor dissemi ...
We present the first feasibility test of spectromicroscopy on the microlocalization of gadolinium in brain cancer tissue. A gadolinium compound was injected to the patients before the brain tumor was extracted with surgery, and we looked for Gd in the tumo ...
Cancer, when detected at an early stage, has a very good probability of being eradicated by surgery or radiotherapy. However, less aggressive treatments also tend to provide high rates of cure without the side effects of radical therapy. We report on the r ...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the pathologic, clinical, and genetic features of renal medullary carcinomas (RMCs) in search of clues to their pathogenesis. METHODS: We analyzed 40 RMCs for clinical features, for immunohistochemical expression using a panel of ...
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental, binary treatment far brain cancer which requires as the first step that tumor tissue is targeted with a boron-10 containing compound. Subsequent exposure to a thermal neutron flux results in destruct ...
Cutaneous and ocular melanomas are due to malignant transformation of neural crest-derived melanocytes. The rising incidence of this tumor in humans has stimulated experiments to devise suitable mouse models. In the past years, transgenic mouse lines have ...
Purpose: The present study was initiated to det. the conditions under which a single photodynamic treatment would induce maximal damage to a tumor with no or at least minimal reversible damage to a normal striated muscle. Methods and Materials: The techniq ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the esophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm) light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, the clin. use of a less penetrating wavelength (514 nm) was investigated for the curative treatment ...
In a model of nude mice bearing a human colon carcinoma xenograft, the biodistribution and tumor localization of metatetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (m-THPC) coupled to polyethylene glycol (PEG) were compared with those of the free form of this photosensitizer u ...
In this note, we consider some issues relevant for the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to biomedical vascular investigations. More precisely, models for blood and vessel walls are briefly addressed together with some preliminary results in the ...
