Incidence of malignant thyroid tumors in humans after exposure to diagnostic doses of /sup 131/I. II. Estimation of thyroid gland size, thyroid radiation dose, and predicted versus observed number of malignant thyroid tumors

Journal Article Holm, L.E. ; Eklund, G. ; Lundell, G. - J. Natl. Cancer Inst.; (United States)

The size of the thyroid glands was analyzed for 10% of the patients in a selected group that had been exposed to diagnostic doses of /sup 131/I. The mean thyroid gland weight +- SD was 50 +- 33 g for patients 20 or more years of age and 10 +- 5 g for patients less than 20 years of age. With the present follow-up, diagnostic doses of /sup 131/I appeared not to be associated with an increased risk for later development of malignant thyroid tumors. Possible reasons for the difference between the observed number of such tumors and the numbermore »« less
Experimental evaluation of the glucose antimetabolite, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) as a possible adjuvant to radiotherapy of tumors: I. Kinetics of growth and survival of ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EATC) in vitro and of growth of solid tumors after 2-DG and x-irradiation

Journal Article Purohit, S.C. ; Pohlit, W. - Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)

Modifications of cell proliferation and survival induced by 2-DG and X-irradiation alone or in combination were studied under both aerobic and hypoxic conditions and for cells both in exponential and plateau phase. The degree of inhibition of cell proliferation was found to be dependent on absorbed dose of X rays and on the 2-DG/Glucose Molar ratio in the medium. At an equimolar ratio (2-DG/Glucose = 1) in nutrient medium the growth of euoxic EATC was ihibited by 80% relative to the control (without 2-DG). This inhibition was fully reversible up to 48 hours of the culture inoculation if 2-DG wasmore »« less

Comparison of loss of heterozygosity patterns between ovarian tumors of low malignant potential and malignant ovarian tumors

Journal Article Crawford, E.C. ; Miller, D.M. ; Finley, W.H. - American Journal of Human Genetics

Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) represent a pathologic subtype of ovarian tumor that possess many features common to malignant tumors including epithelial stratification, increased mitotic activity and atypical cellularity. These tumors, however, do not invade the ovarian stroma and have a much improved patient prognosis. Utilizing dinucleotide repeats, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies were performed on a total of 12 ovarian tumors of LMP in 5 regions found to have significant levels of LOH in malignant ovarian tumors. The regions chosen for study were 3p, 6q, 11p, 17p and 17q. LOH could be demonstrated in malignant ovarian tumorsmore »« less
CT and MR findings of Krukenberg tumors: Comparison with primary ovarian tumors

Journal Article Kim, Seung Hyup ; Kim, Won Hong ; Park, Kyung Joo - Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the CT and MR findings of Krukenberg tumors and to compare them with those of primary ovarian tumors. This study included 20 patients with Krukenberg tumors and 65 patients with various primary ovarian tumors. CT/MR/both imaging studies were available in 15/1/4 patients with Krukenberg tumor and 31/10/24 patients with primary ovarian tumors, respectively. Imaging findings of the tumors were categorized into three subgroups: a solid mass with intratumoral cysts, a solid mass without intratumoral cysts, and a predominantly cystic mass. Among 32 Krukenberg tumors (bilateral in 12 patients), 22 were solid massesmore »« less

Naturally arising tumors of the inbred WAB/Not rat strain. II. Immunogenicity of transplanted tumors

Journal Article Middle, J.G. ; Embleton, M.J. - J. Natl. Cancer Inst.; (United States)

The immunogenicity of 28 transplanted naturally arising tumors of the inbred WAB/Not rat was investigated at early passages in strictly syngeneic, contemporary animals. Included were nephroblastomas, histologically benign and malignant mammary tumors, soft tissue and skin tumors, 1 lymphoid tumor, and 2 gastrointestinal lesions. In no case was evidence of immunogenicity observed when animals were treated with multiple grafts of irradiated (15,000 rad) tissue or by excision of a growing tumor. A few of these tumors were further investigated by other methods of immunization, including injection at various sites of irradiated cells followed by challenge at different sites and multiplemore »« less
