BACKGROUND: Soft tissue sarcomas comprise less than 1% of all solid malignancies. The presentation and behavior of these tumors differs depending on location and histological characteristics. Standard therapy consists of complete surgical resection in combination with adjuvant radiotherapy. The role of chemotherapy is not clearly defined and is largely restricted to clinical trials. Only a limi...
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer is highly lethal and resistant to most anticancer interventions. Treatment resistance is mediated, in part, by enhanced expression of cell survival proteins that help facilitate tumor progression. Clusterin is a stress-associated cytoprotective protein up-regulated by various apoptotic triggers in many cancers and confers treatment resistance when overexpressed. The obj...
The following factors must be considered when dye exclu sion assays are interpreted, (a) It may require several days for lethally damaged cells to lose their membrane integrity follow ing a cytotoxic insult, (b) During this time, the "surviving" cells may continue to proliferate, (c) Also during this time, some lethally damaged cells may undergo an early disintegration, so that they are not pre...
Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Although the majority of EOC patients achieve clinical remission after induction therapy, over 80% relapse and succumb to the chemoresistant disease. Previous investigations have demonstrated the association of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with resistance to cytotoxic chemotherap...
BACKGROUND The tetrazolium dye (MTT) assay is useful for predicting chemosensitivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the MTT assay, an in vitro chemosensitivity test was designed for nedaplatin (cis-diammine glycolato platinum; 254-S) and the results were compared with the sensitivity to cisplatin in 137 resected gynecological carcinomas. RESULTS The mean tumor inhibition rate [I.R.; %] for ne...
background: this study was designed to detect whether there is a correlation between in vitro susceptibility of field isolates of leishmania major and the clinical outcomes of meglumine antimoniate (glucantime®) therapy, the mainstay of cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment in iran. methods: forty-three patients infected with l. major were enrolled in this study from october 2009 to march 2010 and...
-We measured the effect of 6 standard (Adriamycin, BCNU, DTIC, melphalan, vinblastine, actinomycin D) and 3 Phase II agents (cis-platinum, vindesine, AMSA) on melanoma colony-forming units (CFU) in soft agar from biopsies of 50 patients with metastatic melanoma. Melanoma CFU demonstrated marked heterogeneity in chemosensitivity to these 9 drugs. Reduction in survival of CFU below 38°, at one-te...
BACKGROUND/AIM Interferons (IFN) are currently being used to treat melanoma, including some patients with uveal melanoma. IFN is thought to inhibit tumour growth through downregulation of the c-myc oncogene; the overexpression of which has been shown to be associated with resistance in cell lines. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between c-myc gene expression and IFN sensit...
The time course of the formation and persistence of repair-induced DNA lesions such as single-strand breaks (SSBs) were determined in isolated lymphocytes derived from 32 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) using the single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE, "comet") assay. After pulse-exposure to N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU), the initial amount of SSBs (t0 SCGE values) and the time p...
