Cancer late-stage patients

Assess patients for signs and symptoms related to breast cancer in early and late stages of the disease. [Pg.1303]

Intratumoural injection is believed to facilitate vector uptake and expression of p53 in the adjacent tumour cell, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Company data showed complete regression of tumours in 64 per cent of patients treated with Gendicine in combination with radiation therapy, with few associated side effects. By 2006 the product was believed to have been administered to some 50 000 patients in China, and is in late-stage clinical trials for various other cancers. [Pg.442]

As in any safety evaluation, the planned work should be related to the intended use and treatment of humans, for example one dose in a few gravely ill patients or multiple doses of the entire healthy community as prophylaxis against a trivial condition. Contrast, say, what might be appropriate for tumor necrosis factor, as in an experimental trial in a few sufferers from late-stage cancer, with the requirements... [Pg.408]

ONCOLOGY THERAPY FOR THE LATE-STAGE CANCER PATIENT... [Pg.205]

Increases in both serum and urine TATI are common in ovarian cancer. In mucinous ovarian cancers, approximately 45% of patients have increased TATI in stage I, and 90% to 100% have increases by stage Fifly-five percent to 60% of patients with late stage endometrial cancer have increased serum TATI however, only 20% show an increase in early stages. TATI is increased in cervical cancer, but squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) and CEA are better markers. [Pg.764]

Martin also describes treatment with cesium as producing remission in late-stage cancer patients. Another possibility described is a killed vaccine from the dead bacteria of the streptococcus of erysipelas. This vaccine is better known as Coley s Toxins. The genus is Streptococcus and the disease is known as erysipelas, an acute feverish condition with intense local inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The treatment can be described as a form of immunotherapy. [Pg.319]

However, in 1984 Brewer s report on the cancer benefits of cesium treatment was pubhshed in Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior, Vol. 1, Supplement 1, pp. 1-5. Many cases of remission were supplied for late-stage cancer patients on treatment with cesium. Cesium treatment is not further addressed by Martin, but in Brewer s report mention is made of the Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona, who were found to be nearly free of cancer as late as 1974. [Pg.328]

Hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common occurrence in solid tumors of the lung and breast as well as multiple myeloma and adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (26). The hypercalcemia associated with breast cancer is usually seen in late stages of the disease in patients with extensive bone metastases. In squamous cell carcinoma of the lung or kidney, however, hypercalcemia is not correlated with disease stage and is not necessarily associated with bone metastases. The hypercalcemia results from increased bone resorption, decreased bone formation and increased renal tubular calcium reabsorption. These findings suggest that some tumors may secrete humoral factors with PTH-like actions. [Pg.248]

Serum copper levels in cancer cases in comparison with control populations are elevated (Fisher 1979). Serum copper levels have been found to be higher in patients with late stage disease than among those with less severe disease, to be reduced following cancer treatment, and to increase prior to relapse (Fisher 1979). However, evidence from other research suggests that dietary intake of copper and serum copper levels may affect subsequent risk... [Pg.715]

Dronabinol and nabilone have not been approved for the treatment of pain, but there is increasing evidence that they have a useful role and have been prescribed in some pain states. Sativex, on the other hand, is in late-stage clinical trials to approve its use specifically for patients with intractable cancer pain. The literature also contains many reports of its utility in various types of pain. [Pg.494]
