of some of the preparative techniques available, the author describes a number of problems in molecular biology. The topics are well selected and include the plasma membrane, mitochondria, DNA, bacteria, and bacteriophages. The emphasis is placed on the subject or problem, with concise summaries of the information gained from use of the electron microscope. As a result, the book is informative ...

AB): The current methods of cancer research on animals seem to focus on treating, rather than preventing, cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to do research on methods to prevent cancer in dog breeds that are prone to cancer. The focus of our project is to help dogs, and even human, prevent cancer by advocating preventative methods recommended to dog owners by veterinarians. Some preventative me...

well, may produce a crescendo of suffering and accelerate disease. An intertwining of approaches, perhaps regarded by many as separate entities, should therefore be seen as a common front. It is unsurprising that many aspects of quality of life improve for patients working with multimodal teams, as documented by Gagnon et al.8 and Chasen et al.9 in this issue of Current Oncology. Improvement of...

Novel chemotherapy and biological agents for metastatic colorectal cancer, combined with surgical advances in liver resection, have resulted in a dramatic increase in survival for patients with advanced disease, according to researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. It is the first study in the last 20 years to examine the survival rates for metastatic colorectal canc...

If the central business of cancer outcomes research is the pursuit of information relevant to a range of decision makers (1), i.e., patients, families, providers, payers, regulators, standards setters, and researchers, several questions quickly arise. What is the nature and scientific quality of the information currently being produced? How do we enhance the rigor and relevance of cancer outcom...

Purpose: Tissue transglutaminase 2 (TG2) expression is aberrantly upregulated in multiple cancer cell types, particularly those selected for resistance to chemotherapy and those isolated from metastatic sites. In this pilot study, we sought to examine the predictive and prognostic relevance of TG2 in patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for breast cancer. Methods: 47 women w...
