RESUMO

Chronotherapy has consisted in the adaptation of chemotherapeutic drug delivery to circadian (approximately 24-hour) rhythms. This can be achieved in fully ambulatory patients using multichannel programmable pumps. Up to approximately 1500 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have been registered in one of 15 trials testing the relevance of this treatment method with 5-fluorouracil +/- leucovorin +/- oxaliplatin. Chronotherapy was shown as significantly less toxic and more effective than constant rate infusion in 2 consecutive multicenter trials. High efficacy and good tolerability permitted secondary surgical resection of previously inoperable metastases, with apparent survival improvement (3-year survival > or = 20%) and cures in some patients. This strategy is currently undergoing further testing within the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. Nevertheless, combining chronotherapy with surgery of colorectal cancer metastases can be readily offered to patients as a safer therapeutic option for optimizing outcome.

RESUMO

Hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas/pancreatic associated protein (HIP/PAP) gene was identified because of its increased expression in 25% of human hepatocellular carcinoma. HIP/PAP protein, a C-type lectin, binds laminin, acts as an adhesion molecule for hepatocytes, and has also been described as an acute phase secretory protein during acute pancreatitis in humans and rats. We investigated HIP/PAP protein expression in patients with various liver diseases associated with ductular reaction. At the same time, we analyzed patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, and tested HIP/PAP protein levels in sera to establish the pattern of secretion. Our data show that HIP/PAP expression was not restricted to hepatocellular carcinoma, but was also detected in cholangiocarcinoma cells as well as in reactive non-malignant bile ductules. In contrast, HIP/PAP protein expression was undetectable in normal mature hepatocytes, but some ductular cells localized at the interface of portal tracts with parenchyma were HIP/PAP immunoreactive in normal liver. Finally, we present evidence that HIP/PAP serum levels were increased in 21/28 (75%) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and in 25/51 (49%) patients with nonmalignant cirrhosis. Altogether, these results suggest that HIP/PAP protein may be implicated in hepatocytic and cholangiolar differentiation and proliferation.
