Authors: Abstract Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women (1). Regular screening mammography starting at age 40 years reduces breast cancer mortality in average-risk women (2). Screening, however, also exposes women to harm through false-positive test results and overdiagnosis of biologically indolent lesions. Differences in balancing benefits and harms have led to differences among major guidelines about what age to start, what age to stop, and how frequently to recommend mammography screening in average-risk women (2-4).Breast cancer risk assessment is very important for identifying women who may benefit from more intensive breast cancer surveillance; however, there is no sta...

Authors: Miller JG Abstract Breast cancer treatment has an impact on the physical, psychologic, sexual, and reproductive aspects of women's lives. Therefore, it is important for obstetrician-gynecologists to be well versed in the screening, diagnosis, and management of breast cancer. This monograph is an overview of critical issues related to the provision of ongoing care to breast cancer survivors. PMID: 28644334 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

The present study investigated propagation of RIBE signals between human lung carcinoma A549 cells and normal lung fibroblast WI38 cells in bystander cells, either directly or indirectly contacting irradiated A549 cells. We prepared A549-GFP/WI38 co-cultures and ...

This study aims to evaluate the anticancer potential of folate-targeted liposomal bleomycin (FL-BLM) and its free-folate form (L-BLM) on two different cancer cell lines including human cervix carcinoma HeLa, and human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, the effect of FL-BLM in induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest was studied by flow cytometry. FL-BLM was prepared by thin film hydration method and folic acid was conjugated to nanoliposomes by post insertion technique. Anticancer activity was evaluated by MTT assay. The cytotoxicity of FL-BLM against HeLa cells was significantly increased compared to L-BLM and conventional BLM. Flow cytometry and annexin-V analysis indicated that FL-BLM effectively induced apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in HeLa cells especially at G2/M phase....

CONCLUSIONS: Cervical spinal tumors, curettage, and nonintact tumors were risk factors for local recurrence. Intralesional curettage and malignancy were the most important significant factors for local recurrence and death, respectively. PMID: 28639571 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Chinese Medical Journal)

CONCLUSIONS: LAP for small bowel GISTs is a safe and feasible procedure with shorter operation time, less blood loss, less overall complications, and quicker recovery. Besides, tumor recurrence and the long-term survival rate are similar to open approach. Because of the limitations of this study, methodologically high-quality studies are needed for certain appraisal. PMID: 28639576 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Chinese Medical Journal)

We present a case of type A thymoma with invasion of the left brachiocephalic vein and lung metastases. An 84-year-old man underwent extended thymectomy combined with left brachiocephalic vein reconstruction and resection of a lung metastasis. Histological examination showed vascular invasion by the tumor. The lung metastasis had high mitotic activity and slight nuclear enlargement, the so-called "atypical" features, but the main part of the primary tumor did not. However, the intravascular portion of the tumor had "atypical" histological features like the lung metastasis. It seems that "atypical" histological features are related to clinically malignant behavior. (Source: General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) and sanshoamide extract on the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in grilled beef patties. The following major HAs were detected and quantified: imidazopyridine (2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, PhIP), imidazoquinoxalines (2-amino-3-methyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, IQx; 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, MeIOx; 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline, 4,8-DiMeIQx) and β-carbolines (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, norharman; 1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole, harman). The rates of PhIP, IQx, MeIQx and 4,8-DiMeIQx were inhibited significantly by 82%, 61%, 28% and 79%, respectively, in patties treated with a low-concentration of pepper (0.5%), and by 27%, 45%, 44% and ...

Malignancy and diabetes mellitus (DM) cause significant morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation (HTx). Metformin, one of the most commonly used anti-diabetic drugs worldwide, has also been shown to exhibit anti-tumor activity. We therefore investigated the association between metformin therapy and malignancy following HTx. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

In this study, the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of FLX were investigated in SK-N-BE(2)-M17 human neuroblastoma cells. FLX induced apoptotic cell death, activation of caspase-4, -9, and -3, and expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated proteins, including C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP). Inhibition of ER stress by treatment with the ER stress inhibitors, salubrinal and 4-phenylbutyric acid or CHOP siRNA transfection reduced FLX-induced cell death. FLX induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) family, p38, JNK, and ERK, and an upstream kinase apoptosis signal kinase 1 (ASK1). Inhibition of MAPKs and ASK1 reduced FLX-induced cell death and CHOP expression. We then showed that FLX reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (M...
