Purpose: To prospectively assess potential risk factors for relapse in clinical stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis (CS NSGCT). Patients and Methods: From September 1996 to May 2002, 200 patients with CS NSGCT were assigned retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), factor assessment was performed within a multicenter protocol. One hundred sixty-five had an adequate minimum follow-up 12 months (mean, 34.5 months) or pathologic II. Results: Pathologic II disease found...
Using G-banding technique, the chromosomes were studied in short-term cultures of 25 primary renal-cell carcinomas (RCC). Phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes or normal kidney cells same patients growing analysed to define constitutional karyotype. The modal chromosome number 23 RCC's was found be pseudo-diploid near-diploid with only few structural rearrangements, 22 showed an aberration 3, deletion 3p, translocation different segments deleted leading loss variable 3....
Abstract We describe a German family carrying constitutional translocation (3;6) (p13;q25.1) in 3 consecutive generations. The only member of the over 50 years age and developed multiple bilateral renal cell carcinomas. performed chromosome analysis 4 out 5 primary tumours, which were characterized by different clonal karyotypes. constitutionally translocated 3p13‐pter segment was lost with or without receptor 6 each tumour. Additional karyotypic changes trisomy 5, 7 18, monosomy 14 21, loss...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between prostate volume and aggressiveness incidence cancer (PCa).A chart review a cohort 448 consecutive biopsy-naive men performed. These underwent at least 12-core biopsy our institution due increased prostate-specific antigen serum levels (>4 ng/mL) and/or suspicious findings on digital rectal examination during period 2008 2013. Transrectal ultrasound used determine volume.The positive rate 66% for patients with ≤35 cc...
Purpose: Studies have shown that finasteride may decrease the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in general but increase high-grade PCa. There been conflicting hypotheses attempting to explain this phenomenon. This is first study stratifying Prostate Cancer Prevention Trials (PCPT) data based on volume as a moderating variable Materials and methods: Patients from both control group treatment arm PCPT were included analysis. Inclusion criteria consisted patients with documented biopsies...
PURPOSE Fresh tissue samples from nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients were analyzed by Ki-67 immunostaining to determine the prognostic significance of this tumor-biologic parameter. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective study, was performed on frozen sections histologically proven node-negative RCC 58 operated between 1986 and 1988 examine method's value its association with other clinicopathologic parameters such as tumor stage (pT) grade (G). RESULTS The percentage...
Although inflammation and prostate cancer (PCa) have been linked, the molecular interactions between macrophages PCa cells are poorly explored. Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF) is an anti-angiogenic anti-tumor factor. We previously showed that PEDF induces recruitment in vitro, correlates with density human prostate, stimulates polarization towards classically activated pathway. Here, we demonstrate modulates interaction through a bidirectional signalling leading to tumor cell...

A detailed G-banded chromosome analysis was performed in primary cell cultures obtained from two renal oncocytomas. Both tumors were characterised by clonal aberrations. One had a stemline karyotype 45,X,-X,rcp(8;19),der(13)t(X;13) and several sidelines with variant additional The of the other neoplasm revealed pseudodiploid 46,XY,del(1q),der(13)t(1;13) cells normal karyotype; both types showed telomeric associations chromosomes, formed mostly smaller chromosomes. pattern oncocytomas is...
In this study, we investigated the capacity of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) to modulate recruitment and differentiation monocytes/macrophages both in vitro human prostate.Using Boyden chambers, assessed PEDF effect on migration monocytes chemically activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Normal, prostatitis, prostate cancer specimens were retrospectively selected examined by immunohistochemistry for expression infiltration immune CD68 + macrophagic cells. macrophage density then...
There is currently no cure for advanced castration-refractory prostate cancer (CRPC) despite the recent approval of several new therapeutic agents. We report here anti-tumor effect angio-inhibitory pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) in metastatic LNCaP-derivative CRPC CL1 model and explore PEDF anti-neoplasic efficacy combination with low-dose chemotherapy. Androgen-sensitive LNCaP PC3 cell lines were examined as comparison. Using a retroviral expression system, we showed that limited...
