Tissue culture studies on pleural effusions from breast carcinoma patients.
SUMMARY The general lack of success that has attended attempts to establish tumor cell lines from solid specimens of breast carcinoma prompted our use of pleural effusions for this purpose. This paper summarizes tissue culture studies on five sequential pleural effusions from each of two patients with breast carcinoma. The morphology of cells in fresh specimens and cultures was documented by li...
متن کاملModeling Breast Acini in Tissue Culture for Detection of Malignant Phenotype Reversion to Non-Malignant Phenotype
Backgrounds: Evidence is accumulating to support disruption of tissue architecture as a powerful event in tumor formation. For the past four decades, intensive cancer research with the premise of “cancer as a cell based-disease” focused on finding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. However, the role of the tissue architecture was neglected. Three dimensional (3D) cell cultures which can recap...

The content of ribo- and desoxyribonucleic acids in chick heart cultures at regular intervals after implanting has been determined both with standard culture medium and with Tyrode's solution alone. With an inadequate medium, both nucleic acids dropped in a consistent manner but ribonucleic acid was affected to a much greater extent. When the medium was adequate for growth, both fractions rose ...
متن کاملManagement of malignant pleural effusions
Malignant pleural effusions (MPE) are a common occurrence in many advanced malignancies. They are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality; symptoms can be debilitating to patients and impair quality of life, especially as many of these patients are already functionally impaired by their underlying cancer and medical treatment. MPE generally represent advanced stage malignancy and the pri...
متن کاملManagement of malignant pleural effusions.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are one of the most common problems faced by clinicians and, since there is no optimum treatment available, they deserve efforts aimed to improve their management. RECENT FINDINGS We have reviewed the most recent articles regarding treatment of MPE, with special emphasis on pleurodesis and indwelling pleural catheter placement. Although iod...
