The stimulation of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) has been shown to be essential in resolving infections by intracellular pathogens. As such, several different cytokines including, interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18, can induce IFN-gamma. To... more
We performed a Phase II trial to evaluate the activity and tolerability of docetaxel as a single agent in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Forty-four patients with metastatic and/or locally advanced NSCLC... more
To evaluate the prognostic factors associated with overall survival in patients with brain metastasis treated with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and estimate the potential improvement in survival for patients with brain metastases,... more
Malignant gliomas are among the most devastating of cancers and are a major cause of mortality in a young population with a median survival time of 9 months following cytoreductive surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recent studies... more
The median survival of patients with metastatic bladder cancer treated with M-VAC is approximately 1 year and long-term survival occurs in a small proportion of patients. Recent efforts to improve the outcome of patients with metastatic... more
The factors relating to the duration of survival were analyzed for 329 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) between January 1, 1983, and December 31, 1990. The cumulative... more
Background Cytokines play a key role in the immune response to developing tumors, and therefore modulating their levels and actions provides innovative strategies for enhancing the activity of antigen presenting cells and polarizing... more
Preliminary uncontrolled studies of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of bile duct cancer (BDC) have shown astonishingly good results in the reduction of cholestasis, improvement of life quality, and potential improvement of survival time.... more
Adoxophyes orana nucleopolyhedrovirus (AdorNPV) was isolated from overwintering larvae from an orchard in the UK. The nucleotide sequence of the AdorNPV DNA genome was determined and analysed. The genome contains 111724 bp and has a G+C... more
Metastatic disease to the shoulder girdle is a challenging problem because of the potential for pain, pathologic fracture and loss of function of that limb. Management of the bone disease centers around palliation, prevention of further... more
Objective. We conducted this phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the sequential nonplatinum combination chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine (GEM) and vinorelbine (VNR) followed by weekly docetaxel (DOC) in patients... more
Background. The loss of approximately one third of early stage lung cancer patients undergoing complete resection by the end of 5 years implies the existence of unknown or undetected factors at the time of operation. We investigated the... more
Recent analyses of series of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients included in clinical trials have shown improved survival over time, but it has been impossible to determine whether this was due to selection biases, stage migration, or... more
