Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Although treatment-related lymphopenia (TRL) is common in many cancers no data exists in rectal cancer. METHODS:Serial lymphocyte counts were analyzed retrospectively in patients with newly diagnosed rectal cancer, serial blood counts, and complete records at Johns Hopkins Hospital. RESULTS:Fifty-seven patients with normal pretreatment lymphocyte counts were studied. Two months after beginning chemoradiation, 35% of these patients developed grade III-IV lymphopenia [median lymphocyte counts fell from 1590 to 490 cell/mm3 (p < 0.001)] which persisted throughout one year of observation. CONCLUSION:Severe and prolonged TRL is common in rectal cancer. Further studies are required to determine TRL's relationship to survival.

杂志文章abstract::CD147 is highly expressed on many tumor cells; its role for tumor invasiveness and metastasis has been deduced from its capacity to induce MMPs, i.e., MMP-1, -2, -3, and -9. However, in the murine B16 melanoma model, MMP-2/-9 expression occurs independent of CD147. To scrutinize the impact of CD147 on metastasis forma...
