The optimal treatment for advanced leiomyosarcoma is still debated. Given histotype-specific prospective controlled data lacking, this study retrospectively evaluated doxorubicin plus dacarbazine, ifosfamide, and alone as first-line treatments advanced/metastatic treated at European Organization Research Treatment of Cancer Soft Tissue Bone Sarcoma Group (EORTC-STBSG) sites.The inclusion criteria were a confirmed histological diagnosis, between January 2010 December 2015, measurable disease...
During the last two decades, hair cortisol concentration (HCC) has proven to be a promising marker for evaluation of increased hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity caused by repeated or long-term stressful conditions. A minimally invasive sampling procedure, simple storage and retrospective characteristic one sample are reasons why HCC is increasingly used not only in human medicine but also animal welfare research. However, before applying as reliable indicator stress, it important...
Abstract Background Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of various cancers. In our analysis, we describe impact dual-tracer imaging with Gallium-68-radiolabeled inhibitors FAP (FAPI-46-PET/CT) and fluorodeoxy-D-glucose (FDG-PET/CT) on radiotherapeutic management primary esophageal cancer (EC). Methods 32 patients EC, who are scheduled for chemoradiation, received FDG FAPI-46 PET/CT same day (dual-tracer protocol, 71%) or two separate days...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a rate-limiting enzyme for the degradation of tryptophan (Trp) along kynurenine (Kyn) pathway, and its increased activation associated with immunologic disorders. Because specific role IDO not yet completely clear, aim present study was to establish pig model further research. The in pigs induced experimentally by LPS stimulation vivo ex vivo. characterized measuring Trp, Trp metabolites protein expression blood, liver, lung, muscle different brain areas....
