Correlation between beta1 integrin expression and prognosis in clinically localized prostate cancer.
UNLABELLED Integrins are transmembrane glycoprotein receptors that regulate cell-matrix interactions, thus functioning as sensors from the environment. They also act as cell adhesion molecules that are responsible for the maintenance of the normal epithelial phenotype. Some studies have reported a correlation between carcinogenesis and changes in integrin expression, especially β1 integrin, how...
متن کاملImaging clinically localized prostate cancer.
At this time there is no highly sensitive and specific widespread radiographic test for local staging of prostate cancer. Future developments will likely require a combination of imaging modalities with utilization guided by risk-stratification models (Table 4). Staging data for all imaging tests discussed in this article are summarized in Tables 5 and 6. Clinically, conventional gray-scale TRU...
متن کاملBrachytherapy for clinically localized prostate cancer.
Prostate brachytherapy is an effective treatment option for clinically organ-confined prostate carcinoma. Observed 5- and 10-year follow-up have documented prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels that were comparable to published radical prostatectomy series and were better than several published external-beam radiation series. Between January 1987 and June 1988, a total of 152 consecutive patie...
متن کاملChromosome Deletion Patterns in Prostate Cancer
Various nonrandom chromosomal aberrations have been identified in prostate carcinoma. These aberrations include deletions of several chromosome regions, particularly the chromosome 8 short arm. Large-scale numerical aberrations, reflected in aberrant DNA ploidy, are also found in a minority of cases. However, it is unclear whetherprostate carcinomas contain aberrations of certain chromosome reg...
متن کاملRegulatory elements in noncoding DNA in the chromosome 9p21 locus.
Study Hypothesis A novel locus on chromosome 9p21 has been identified in numerous genome-wide association studies as the most highly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction. Understanding the mechanism by which the locus influences disease has been a challenge because the locus lies entirely within noncoding DNA—in a so-called “gene desert” at a long distance fro...
