Jensen sarcoma, Walker carcinoma, Xovikoff hepatoma, and MDAB hepatoma were used to study the effects of different sites of tumor implantation upon the host rat. Equal volumes of the same tumor cell suspension were given either i.p., i.m., or s.c. Tumor effects upon the host rat were compared between implant sites, between the different tumors, and with azo dye-induced primary tumors. Host effe...

Krukenberg tumor is an interesting and rare tumor which usually but not always is metastatic. Ovaries more than any other genital pelvic organs are the site of metastasis. Endometrium, gastrointestinal tract and breast are the most common primary sites. The best method of treatment is surgery. Postoperatively, radiotherapy and chemotherapy must be performed. 3 cases of Krukenberg tumor dia...

background: bacterial dna has immunostimulatory effects on different types of immune cells such as dendritic cells (dcs). application of dcs as a cellular adjuvant represents a promising approach in the immunotherapy of infectious disease and cancers. objectives: to investigate the effect of tumor antigen pulsed dcs in the presence of cpg-1826 in treatment of a murine model of cancer. methods: ...

abstract introduction: cancer stem cells are a small subpopulation of cells within a tumor which are responsible for maintaining the tumor mass. a number of factors such as oct-4 that govern the fate of adult stem cells also play a role in malignant cell transformation. oct-4 is a key regulator of self-renewal in embryonic stem cells; its expression is potentially correlated with tumorigenesis ...

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is a rare metastatic disease in which tumor site cannot be identified. CUP diagnosis exclusion requiring prior workup to identify site. We present case 64-year-old male with vague abdominal pain, history gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), gastritis, esophagitis, hepatitis C, alcoholic pancreatitis, liver hemangioma, and Warthin tumor, family cancer that was found...

objective: garlic (allium sativum) has anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenesis, and immunomodulatory properties that modulate anti-tumor immunity and inhibit tumor growth. in this study we have examined the effect of a protein fraction isolated from fresh garlic on anti-tumor response and intra-tumor lymphocyte infiltration. materials and methods: in this experimental study a protein fraction was p...
