Assessment of epidermal growth factor receptor status in glioblastomas
Objective(s): Our previous study showed that a newly designed tracer radioiodinated 6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)-7-ethoxy-4-(3'-iodophenoxy)quinazoline ([125I]PYK) is promising for the evaluation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and prediction of gefitinib treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. EGFR is over-expressed and mutated also in glioblastoma. In the present study, the ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor-β and Nitrates in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
The role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and nitric oxide (NO) in ovarian neoplasia is still not clear. We studied the expression of TGF-beta by enzyme immunoassay, and nitrates (as a stable end product of NO) in 127 ovarian tissues (36 normal, 37 benign, and 54 malignant). Ploidy status and synthetic phase fraction (SPF) were also assessed by flow cytometry. Mean ranks of TGF-bet...
متن کاملcomparison of hormone receptor status in primary and recurrent breast cancer
background: systematic treatments such as hormone and chemotherapy are selected according to tumor characteristic after major therapeutic approaches such as surgery. this study attempted to analyze and compare the status of estrogen receptor (er) and progesterone receptor (pr) in primary and recurrent sites of breast cancer in patients. methods: we reviewed all medical records of breast cancer ...
متن کاملTargeting the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Current Knowledge and Future Challenges
The epidermal growth factor receptor is overexpressed in up to 60% of ovarian epithelial malignancies. EGFR regulates complex cellular events due to the large number of ligands, dimerization partners, and diverse signaling pathways engaged. In ovarian cancer, EGFR activation is associated with increased malignant tumor phenotype and poorer patient outcome. However, unlike some other EGFR-positi...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor receptor I targeting in epithelial ovarian cancer.
OBJECTIVES Preclinical evaluation of the anti-neoplastic activity of an insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) kinase inhibitor in ovarian cancer. METHODS The OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-4 cell lines were investigated under serum-free tissue culture conditions. IGF-I and IGF-II production were evaluated by standard ELISA and immunohistochemistry. IGF-IR expression and protein levels were evalua...
