ABSTRACT
0.05).Conclusions The expression of galetin-3 was obviously increased in liver metastasis from colon cancer,and MCP can effectively inhibit the development of liver metastasis of colon cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the inhibitive effect of interferon-a on hepatic metastasis of colon cancer. Methods Metastatic model of human colon cancer was established by orthotopic implantation of histologically intact human tumor tissue into the colon wall of nude mice.The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:(1)Control group(receiving saline solution only);(2)5-FU treatment group;(3) IFN-?-2b treatment group;and(4)5-FU combined with IFN-?-2b treatment group(combined group). 5-FU and IFN-?-2b were given via peritoneum injection 1 time/2 days for eight weeks.The mice were killed at nine weeks.The tumors were weighed,the microvessel density(MVD) was detected,and the liver was examined histologically in order to discover the micrometastasis. Results In control group, 5-FU group,IFN-2b group and combined group,the tumor weight was(1.53?0.78)g,(0.87?0.59)g,(0.81?0.43)g and ( 0.23?0.09)g, respectively;the tumor inhibition rate was 0,43.1%,47.1% and 84.9%, respectively;the hepatic metastasis rate was 85.7%,78.6%,21.4% and 0 respectively.MVD in IFN-? group and combined group was significant lower than that in control group and 5-FU group. Conclusions IFN-? can inhibit the growth and hepatic metastasis of orthotopic implanted human colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor angiogenesis.It may be more effective when INF-? combined with cyotoxic agents.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of regional infusion chemotherapy for prevention of local (recurrence) and hepatic metastasis after radical resection of gastric carcioma.Methods 352 patients with (gastric) carcinoma undergoing radical operation were preoperatively randomly divided into 2 groups:Regional (infusion) chemotherapy(treatment group,184 cases) and peripheral venous chemotherapy(control group,168 cases).Results 328 cases(93.2%) were followed-up for 3 to 6 years,and 24 cases were lost to follow up.The 1-,3- and 5-year survival rate was 95.7%,78.3% and 46.3%,respectively,in the (treatment) group,and 86.8%,48.2% and 22.0%,respectively in the control group.The local recurrence rate and hepatic metastasis rate was 9.2% and 12.5%,respectively,in the treatment group; and was (22.0)% and 26.8%,respectively,in the control group.Conclusions Regional infusion chemotherapy is (effective) for prevention of local recurrence and hepatic metastasis after radical operation for gastric carcinoma.It is better than peripheral venous chemotherapy and has less toxic side effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect,prognostic factors and the methods to improve long term survival of liver resection for hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer.Methods 52 patients operated on for hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer were followed up,and the clinical and pathologic data of 11 (cases),who survived more than 5 years,were compared with 41 survivors of less than 5 years after hepatic (resection).Results The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rate was 75.0%,30.8%,and 21.2%,(respectively).The important factors affecting prognosis were pathologic type of the primary cancer,(number) of (hepatic) metastasis,selection of the methods and timing of surgery,and postoperative treatment(P
