Cryosurgery of pulmonary metastases. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Indications and results of 33 cryosurgical interventions for metastatic tumors in the lung are presented. Regression of local and metastatic pulmonary growth on the contralateral side was observed in four cases. Nine cases showed temporary halt of metastatic pulmonary tumor growth. The technique of cryosurgery for pulmonary metastases is reviewed. The procedure of cryosurgery of pulmonary metastases was found to be an innocuous method to attempt both tumor destruction and eventually specific immunologic stimulation. Preliminary observations with the lymphocytes and sera indicate that cryosurgery of pulmonary metastases induces an increase in specific cell mediated immune response without producing blocking serum factors and may give rise to specific, complement dependent cytotoxic antibodies. In one case both mechanisms were observed after cryotherapy. In three cases with progressive disease, lymphocyte mediated cytotoxicity alone was stimulated. 相似文献

The cytologic findings in fine needle aspirates of a previously treated prostatic cancer metastatic to both breasts in a 65-year-old man are described. The prostatic origin of the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma cells was demonstrated by identification of cytoplasmic prostate-specific antigen. The clinical importance of a conclusive diagnosis differentiating a primary from a metastatic lesion is discussed; this case illustrates the value of immunocytochemical analysis as an aid to cytomorphologic diagnosis in making such determinations. 相似文献

Incubations of rat uterine segments with varying 3H-progesterone concentrations were performed to study the hormone uptake by the tissue. The radioactivity of the uterus and the nutrient medium were plotted in form of a SCATCHARD plot. Additionally, the binding capacity of the uterine cytosol was measured. In both systems, the hormone was found to be associated with two components which differ from each other in their association constants. The progesterone metabolism occuring at a hormone concentration of 10(-6)M and more in the incubation medium is discussed with respect to the affinity and the capacity of the hormone binding components. 相似文献

Objective
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cryoablation for metastatic lung tumors from colorectal cancer.Methods
The procedures were performed on 24 patients (36–82 years of age, with a median age of 62; 17 male patients, 7 female patients) for 55 metastatic tumors in the lung, during 30 sessions. The procedural safety, local progression free interval, and overall survival were assessed by follow-up computed tomographic scanning performed every 3–4 months.Results
The major complications were pneumothorax, 19 sessions (63%), pleural effusion, 21 sessions (70%), transient and self-limiting hemoptysis, 13 sessions (43%) and tract seeding, 1 session (3%). The 1- and 3-year local progression free intervals were 90.8% and 59%, respectively. The 3-years local progression free intervals of tumors ≤15 mm in diameter was 79.8% and that of tumors >15 mm was 28.6% (p = 0.001; log-rank test). The 1- and 3-year overall survival rates were 91% and 59.6%, respectively.Conclusion
The results indicated that percutaneous cryoablation is a feasible treatment option. The local progression free interval was satisfactory at least for tumors that were ≤15 mm in diameter. 相似文献19.
Thrombin is present in the lungs of patients with primary extremity osteosarcoma and pulmonary metastases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Osteosarcoma is a rare cancer, which metastasizes to the lung in up to 80% of cases. Thrombin is involved in metastasis and is present in the lungs of patients with pulmonary metastases (PM). To identify its role in PM and osteosarcoma, we measured thrombin levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of 15 patients. BALF was collected at different stages of the disease and correlated with the diagnosis of PM. We also assessed fibrinogen overexpression in the tumors. We found that 11/15 (73%) patients with high thrombin levels in the lungs developed PM within the first 12 months from primary surgery. The median thrombin concentration in the BALF of these patients increased up to 8x10(-9) M (range, 3x10(-9)M-15x10(-9)M), which represents a more than 100-fold increase compared to patients without PM (p<0.0001). Eight of 15 (53%) primary and 11/15 (73%) metastatic samples showed fibrinogen overexpression. A significant difference between high thrombin levels, fibrinogen overexpression and PM was found compared to patients without PM (p=0.00073 and p=0.025). These results show that thrombin levels are increased in the lungs of patients with primary osteosarcoma and a high risk of developing PM. They suggest that thrombin may be involved in the development of PM. 相似文献
