Adjuvant intravesical treatment with a standardized mistletoe extract to prevent recurrence of superficial urinary bladder cancer.
BACKGROUND Adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment after resection of non invasive superficial bladder cancer has been shown to significantly decrease tumor recurrence. However, the serious local and systemic side-effects of this treatment have promoted the use of other immunoactive substances, which, to date, have all failed to show efficacy equal to BCG therapy. PATIE...
متن کاملStudy of Antimetastatic Effect of Genistein Through Inhibition of Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase in A-549 Cell Line
The lung cancer is one of the most dangerous cancers and is also the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, accounting for about 1.3 million deaths annually. However in clinical practice, lung cancer therapies commonly do with chemotherapy, although it is hard because the lung cancer may progress to metastasis stage. The metastasis of lung cancer is highly dependent of expression of matrix me...
متن کامل[Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for superficial bladder cancer].
Intracavitary instillation of Tokyo 172 strain Bacillas Calmette-Guerin was performed on 39 patients with superficial bladder cancer after contact Nd:YAG laser irradiation for tumors. The BCG group received intravesical instillation of 80 mg BCG at two week intervals for 6 months. Recurrence occurred in 7 of the 39 patients. In the 7 recurrent cases instillation of BCG had been discontinued aft...
متن کاملVitamin E Reduces Superficial Bladder Cancer Recurrence: A Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND Most patients with superficial bladder cancer who undergo transurethral resection of bladder tumor show recurrence of the disease. So far, there have been numerous studies on ways to decrease bladder cancer recurrence, including the intake of vitamins and antioxidants. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin E on the recurrence of non-invasive bladder cancer. ...
متن کاملThe association of death-associated protein kinase hypermethylation with early recurrence in superficial bladder cancers.
Mechanisms for bladder carcinogenesis and the development of recurrentbladder cancer remain unclear. Aberrant methylation of the 5' CpG island is thought to play an important role in the inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes in cancer. To study whether specific or bulk hypermethylation predicts intrabladder recurrence, we determined the frequency of aberrant promoter hypermethylation of se...
