Targeted radiotherapy of brain tumours.

Abstract:

:The utility of external beam radiotherapy for the treatment of malignant brain tumours is compromised by the need to avoid excessive radiation damage to normal CNS tissues. This review describes the current status of targeted radiotherapy, an alternative strategy for brain tumour treatment that offers the exciting prospect of increasing the specificity of tumour cell irradiation.

  • Tumour cells of extramammary Paget's disease do not show either p53 mutation or allelic loss at several selected loci implicated in other cancers.

    abstract::Extramammary Paget's disease is a particular form of skin cancer of unknown histogenesis. To look for the genetic defects underlying the pathogenesis of this tumour, we have examined loss of heterozygosity (LOH), p53 and human papillomavirus (HPV) status, and the expression of c-erbB-2 and bcl-2 proteins in 14 cases. ...
