Digestive System Neoplasms
Abstract
We describe a strategy that circumvents problems related to the biochemical complexity of this sample and the presence of high concentrations of interfering substances. Bile collected from a patient suffering from a biliary stenosis caused by a pancreatic adenocarcinoma was fractionated by a differe...

Abstract
The congress of Asco made the object of numerous summaries of congress made in the heat of the moment and the Bulletin du Cancer decided to ask to his editorial board, a digested summary, at distance of the congress, to try to sum up the data of the congress which are going to change practice. Of th...

Abstract
Carcinoid tumors (CTs) represent the most common type of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Digestive CTs in the gastroduodenal and colorectal tracts may be assessed using endoscopy and echoendoscopy or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with the goal of attempting local resection with curative intent with...

Abstract
We therefore evaluated the diagnostic usefulness of forceps with a larger-sized cup and compared this with standard forceps for biliary biopsy.
This prospective study included consecutive patients with extrahepatic biliary strictures who underwent retrograde biliary biopsy between March 2005 and Mar...

Abstract
The image registrations were technically successful in all but one patient, who had severe scoliosis. The remaining 13 biopsy procedures yielded diagnostic results, which were positive for malignancy in 10 cases and negative in three cases. CONCLUSION: PET/CT-guided abdominal biopsy with use of prio...

Abstract
PJS patients are markedly at risk for several malignancies, in particular gastrointestinal cancers and breast cancer. On the basis of these elevated risks, a surveillance recommendation is developed to detect malignancies in an early phase and to remove polyps that may be premalignant and may cause...

Abstract
Survival following cancers of the colon and rectum has increased continuously over the observed period, yet Danish patients fall behind those in the other Nordic countries. The largest inter-country variation is seen for the rare cancers in the small intestine. There has been little increase in prog...

Abstract
Somatostatin receptor imaging (SRI) with [(111)In-DTPA(0)]octreotide has proven its role in the diagnosis and staging of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNETs). Newer radiolabeled somatostatin analogs which can be used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, and which have a h...

Endocrine-Related Cancer (17)1 2010
Abstract
Systemic therapy is one of a number of treatment options routinely used in the management of advanced, unresectable neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). In contrast to many of the other NET treatment modalities, there is at least some evidence base to justify its use. Even so, well-designed clinical trial...

Triple-phase computed tomography during arterial portography with bolus tracking for hepatic tumors.
Abstract
CTAP was performed by bolus tracking without failure in any of the patients. The mean scan start times in the normal liver group and liver cirrhosis group were 14.3 +/- 1.34 s and 18.5 +/- 2.46 s, respectively, which were significantly different from each other. The detection rates of HCC nodules fo...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and type 2 (MEN2) are autosomal dominant inherited multiglandular diseases with familial and individual age-related penetrance and variable expression. The most frequent endocrine features of MEN1 are parathyroid involvement (> 95%), duodeno-pancreatic endo...

Abstract
Vacuolar H+-ATPases function in bone resorption, pH homeostasis and tumor metastasis, play an important role in regulating the extra- and intracellular pH (pHe and pHi) in various eukaryotic cells. Acidity is one of the main features of the tumors. The Vacuolar H+-ATPases are the primary responsible...

Abstract
In comparison with the CT scan, there was trend in favor of EUS/EUS-FNA for the superior diagnostic accuracy. EUS was distinctly superior to the CT scan in detecting the number of metastatic lesions. EUS-FNA was also useful to identify the nature of lesions that were too small to be characterized on...

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for untreated patients was irinotecan 65 mg/m(2) while the MTD for previously treated patients was irinotecan 40 mg/m(2). Neutropenia and diarrhea were the major dose-limiting toxicities. Antitumor activity was noted in gastric, esophageal and pancreatic cancers. CON...
