The influence of positron emission tomography in the management recurrent rectal cancer is well established but its role primary remains uncertain. This study therefore prospectively assesses impact position scanning on cancer.Forty-six patients with advanced referred for consideration adjuvant preoperative therapy underwent scanning. referring physicians recorded each patient's stage following conventional imaging and proposed treatment plan prior to was then compared subsequent actual...

PURPOSE: Treatment of chronic radiation proctitis remains unsatisfactory. Short-chain fatty acids are the preferred energy source for colonic epithelium. We aimed to determine first time whether topical butyric acid enemas relieve symptoms and improve macroscopic microscopic findings in proctitis. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over pilot trial compared patients given two weeks (40 mmol) twice per day with those placebo, a one-week washout period; 15 were...

Glutamine is the primary fuel for gastrointestinal epithelium and maintains mucosal structure. Oncologists frequently encounter oral mucositis, which can cause unplanned breaks in radiotherapy (RT).The aim of this study was to explore association between glutamine acute toxicities patients with head neck cancer undergoing RT.This a parallel, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase III trial conducted university hospital. A central randomization center used computer-generated...

Objective: To examine the initial impact of National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP), which was launched in May 2006 and offers faecal occult blood testing to Australians aged 55 or 65 years. Design setting: Review data on colorectal cancer (CRC) cases diagnosed between June 2008 from a prospective database used at 19 Australian hospitals, linked analysed by BioGrid Australia. Main outcome measures: Number CRC detected through NBCSP symptomatic presentation, differences sex, stage...

Abstract Several life‐prolonging therapies for metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are available, including radium‐223 dichloride ( 223 Ra), which was approved based on phase 3 data demonstrating improved overall survival (OS) and a favorable safety profile. To date, real‐world evidence Ra use in Taiwan is from three studies of &lt;50 patients. This observational study (NCT04232761) enrolled male patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed mCRPC bone metastases...

The aim of this study was to determine if local recurrence (LR) rates in patients with minimally invasive and advanced T3 rectal cancer are different. This may influence the use adjuvant therapy.Consecutive undergoing curative surgery were classified into or groups. Minimally defined as a tumour that had invaded beyond muscularis propria on microscopic examination only, whereas tumours invasion obvious macroscopic confirmed histologically. Local two groups compared by construction...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (IMRT-SIB) reduces overall treatment duration and results in less (RT)-induced dermatitis. However, the use of traditional sequential approach or IMRT-SIB is still under debate since there not enough evidence long-term clinical outcomes. The present study investigated 216 patients who underwent breast conserving surgery (BCS) between 2010 2013. median age was 51 years (range, 21-81 years). All received IMRT-SIB, 50.4 Gy at...

The apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT, SLC10A2) mediates intestinal, renal, and cholangiocyte reclamation. Transcriptional regulation of ASBT is well described, whereas information on posttranscriptional limited. Prior studies suggested that ontogeny controlled in part by changes messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. We studied the role Hu antigen R (HuR) tristetraprolin (TTP) play regulating expression mRNA contains 3' untranslated region (UTR) rat ASBT. 3'UTR was incorporated...

Fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19), a bile acid-responsive enterokine, is secreted by the ileum and regulates variety of metabolic processes. These studies examined signal transduction pathways operant in FGF-19-mediated repression apical sodium-dependent acid transporter (ASBT). Responses to FGF-19 were assessed Caco-2 CT-26 cells mice where c- fos was conditionally silenced intestine cre-lox strategy. treatment or wild-type led significant reduction ASBT protein expression enhanced...

Functional defects in ATPase class I type 8B membrane 1 (ATP8B1 or familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1, FIC1) lead to by mechanism(s) that are not fully understood. One proposed pathophysiology involves aberrant signaling the bile acid sensor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), via protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ). The following cell line-based studies investigated whether phospholipase D2 may transduce a signal from FIC1 FXR. PLD2 gain of function led activation salt export pump (BSEP) promoter,...

Rationale: Radiotherapy (RT) is widely used for both malignant and benign tumors in order to reduce the risk of recurrence, promote tumor control, improve survival. However, there have been studies reported that RT also a factor secondary cancer. Very few cases malignancy after high grade brain cancer due short survival this disease, most RT-induced malignancies presented with sarcomatous histology. Here we present patient basal cell carcinoma (BCC) 14 years his brain. Patient concerns: A...
