The number of patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms after cancer therapies which have a moderate or severe impact on quality life is similar to the diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease annually. However, in contrast disease, most these are not referred for gastroenterological assessment. Clinicians who do see often unaware benefits targeted investigation (which differ from those required exclude recurrent cancer), range available treatments and how pathological processes...
Abstract The presence of hypoxia in tumours results the overexpression certain genes, which are controlled via transcription factor HIF‐1. Hypoxic cells known to be radioresistant and chemoresistant, thus, a reliable surrogate marker is desirable ensure that treatment may rationally applied. Recently, HIF‐1‐regulated proteins Glut‐1 CAIX were validated as intrinsic markers by comparison with pO 2 measured using oxygen electrodes. We compare expression binding bioreductive drug pimonidazole....
Abstract Objective This study compared the efficacy of a media literacy program and self‐esteem designed to reduce general specific risk factors for eating disorders. Method Four classes 86 grade 8 students (53 boys 33 girls), mean age 13 years, were randomly assigned either control condition or one two intervention conditions. Assessment was carried out at baseline, postintervention 3‐month follow‐up. Results At group had lower scores on weight concern than (p =0.007) but did not. There...

Patients treated with standard chemotherapy for metastatic or relapsed cervical cancer respond poorly to conventional (response achieved in 20-30% of patients) an overall survival less than 1 year. High tumour angiogenesis and high concentrations intratumoural VEGF are adverse prognostic features. Cediranib is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor VEGFR1, 2, 3. In this trial, we aimed assess the effect addition cediranib carboplatin paclitaxel patients recurrent cancer.
Abstract Purpose: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α expression was studied retrospectively in locally advanced carcinoma of the cervix relation to other methods for measuring/assessing tumor hypoxia and outcome after radiotherapy. Experimental Design: HIF-1α examined formalin-fixed biopsies using a semiquantitative scoring system correlated with measurements obtained oxygen electrodes, pimonidazole staining, carbonic anhydrase 9. Results: High showed weak correlation low pO2 (r = −0.26; P...
The Tofts tracer kinetic models are often used to analyze dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI data. They derived from a general two-compartment exchange model (2CXM) but assume negligible plasma mean transit time. 2CXM estimates tissue perfusion and capillary permeability-surface area; the estimate transfer constant Ktrans, which reflects combination of these two parameters. aims this study were compare report microvascular parameters in patients with cervical cancer. Thirty scanned pretreatment...
To compare survival and late complications between patients treated with chemoradiotherapy radiotherapy for locally advanced cervix cancer.A Royal College of Radiologists' audit in UK cancer centres 2001-2002. Survival, recurrence were assessed grouped according to radical treatment received (radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, postoperative or chemoradiotherapy) non-radical treatment. Late complication rates using the Franco-Italian glossary.Data analysed 1243 from 42 centres. Overall 5-year...
