Abstract: Administration of a tumour-seeking compound labeled with a low-energy isotope and intraoperative screening with the gamma probe (radioguided surgery, RGS) could be useful in reoperations for advanced neuroblastoma when the normal anatomy is altered. A pilot...

Abstract: In this paper we report the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) exposure on the uptake and retention of meta-Iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in human platelets and two neuroendocrine cell lines. The combination of [131I] MIBG and HBO is used for therapy of...
Abstract: Treatment for head and neck malignancies commonly involves radiation therapy. As a result of this therapy the vascular supply to irradiated structures is altered and results in decreased tissue perfusion. In addition to vascular changes, bony structures...
Abstract: Studies on erythropoietin (Epo) gene expression have been useful in investigating the mechanism by which cells and tissues sense hypoxia. Both in vivo and in Hep3B cells. Epo production is induced not only by hypoxia but also by certain transition metal...
Abstract: A case of gaseous gangrene by Clostridium septicum associated with colorectal cancer is presented. The patient evolved rapidly towards septic shock and death. Autopsy showed occult neoplasm and pelvic and retroperitoneal myonecrosis. An exceptional finding...
Abstract: The treatment of oral cancer usually involves extensive resection of the mandible, excision of oro-facial soft tissue and often radiotherapy. This causes difficulty in the subsequent oral rehabilitation. The present paper reports our experience with implant...
Abstract: A preliminary study of 4 partial maxillectomy patients who received a total of 17 endosseous implants and implant-supported prostheses after oral cancer resection is reported. The masticatory function index (chewing efficiency) after implant placement was...
Abstract: This paper reviews the survival outcome from the randomized Phase III trials in solid tumours published on behalf of, or in collaboration with, the Cancer Therapy Committee (CTC) of the British Medical Research Council over a 30-year period to 31 December...
Abstract: In this paper we report the effects of the combination of MIBG (a structural analogue of norepinephrine, used in its radio iodinated form for the diagnosis and therapy of neuroblastoma) and hyperbaric oxygen on the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-BE(2c)....
