Differential permeability of lymphatic and blood vessels in determining the route of metastasis as demonstrated by indirect lymphography
Indirect mammo-lymphography with serial radiograms was made on rats bearing three established rat mammary carcinomas (SMT-2A, TMT-50, MT-W9B), with the water-soluble contrast medium, Iotasul. In the lymphogeno...

Dietary 4-HPR suppresses the development of bone metastasis in vivo in a mouse model of prostate cancer progression
The effects of the synthetic retinoid N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4-HPR) on prostate cancer metastasis in vivo were evaluated in the mouse prostate reconstitution (MPR) model. MPRs were produced by infection ...

Liposome-based drug delivery in breast cancer treatment
Drug delivery systems can in principle provide enhanced efficacy and/or reduced toxicity for anticancer agents. Long circulating macromolecular carriers such as liposomes can exploit the 'enhanced permeability...

Establishment of human osteosarcoma cell lines with high metastatic potential to lungs and their utilities for therapeutic studies on metastatic osteosarcoma
Relevant animal models for metastasis of osteosarcoma is needed to understand the biology and to develop the treatment modality of metastasis of human osteosarcoma. Therefore, we screened six human osteosarcom...

Expression of autotaxin (NPP-2) is closely linked to invasiveness of breast cancer cells
Autotaxin (ATX), originally isolated from human melanoma cells, is a novel metastasis-enhancing motogen and angiogenesis factor. In the present study, we compared the expression level of ATX mRNA between norma...

Biological properties and gene expression associated with metastatic potential of human osteosarcoma
Lung metastasis has a great influence on the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. We previously established two high-metastatic sublines, M112 and M132, from the HuO9 human osteosarcoma cell line by in vivo s...

Open AccessCytotoxicity of psammaplin A from a two-sponge association may correlate with the inhibition of DNA replication
SV40 DNA replication system is a very useful tool to understand the mechanism of replication, which is a tightly regulated process. Many environmental and cellular factors can induce cell cycle arrest or apopt...

Open AccessYoung age: an independent risk factor for disease-free survival in women with operable breast cancer
The incidence of breast cancer in young women (age < 35) is low. The biology of the disease in this age group is poorly understood, and there are conflicting data regarding the prognosis for these women compar...

Open AccessDownregulation of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC)7 in invasive ductal carcinomas of the breast and its clinicopathologic relationships
The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is a multiprotein complex with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which is required for the ubiquitination of securin and cyclin-B. Moreover, the mitotic spindle checkpoint is a...

Open AccessDocetaxel plus cisplatin is effective for patients with metastatic breast cancer resistant to previous anthracycline treatment: a phase II clinical trial
Patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are frequently exposed to high cumulative doses of anthracyclines and are at risk of resistance and cardiotoxicity. This phase II trial evaluated the efficacy and t...

Caffeine suppresses metastasis in a transgenic mouse model: a prototype molecule for prophylaxis of metastasis
A significant fraction of cancer patients have occult disseminated tumors at the time of primary diagnosis, which usually progress to become clinically relevant lesions. Since the majority of cancer mortality ...

An Orthotopic Model of Human Osteosarcoma Growth and Spontaneous Pulmonary Metastasis
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy of bone and patients often develop pulmonary metastases. In order to investigate the pathogenesis of human osteosarcoma, there is a great need to develop a cl...

Open AccessPhase I dose-escalating study of docetaxel in combination with 5-day continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil in patients with advanced gastric cancer
Published data suggests that docetaxel combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) may have synergistic activity in treating advanced gastric cancer. We performed a phase I study of docetaxel and 5-FU to determine the...

Open AccessSurvivin expression and its clinical significance in pancreatic cancer
Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis is expressed in several human cancers. Its expression is known to be associated with poor clinical outcome, but not widely studied in pancreatic cancer. We performed this st...

Article
Open AccessAssociation of paternal age at birth and the risk of breast cancer in offspring: a case control study
Older paternal age may increase the germ cell mutation rate in the offspring. Maternal age may also mediate in utero exposure to pregnancy hormones in the offspring. To evaluate the association between paternal a...

Open AccessNeogenin expression may be inversely correlated to the tumorigenicity of human breast cancer
Neogenin is expressed in cap cells that have been suggested to be mammary stem or precursor cells. Neogenin is known to play an important role in mammary morphogenesis; however its relationship to tumorigenesi...
