Neuroendokrine Neoplasien der Appendix und des Kolorektums
Die adäquate Diagnose und Therapie der neuroendokrinen Neoplasien der Appendix und des Kolorektums setzen eine genaue Kenntnis ihrer Klassifikation nach WHO und TNM voraus. Die neue WHO-Klassifizierung untersc...

Neuroendokrine Tumoren des Magens
Diagnose und Therapie der neuroendokrinen Tumoren (NET) des Magens basieren auf ihrer sicheren Klassifikation und Risikostratifizierung. Da zudem die NET des Magens in den letzten 35 Jahren deutlich an Häufigk...

Open AccessA novel approach in the treatment of neuroendocrine gastrointestinal tumours. Targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor by gefitinib (ZD1839)
Therapeutic options to inhibit the growth and spread of neuroendocrine (NE) gastrointestinal tumours are still limited. Since gefitinib (4-(3-chloro-4-fluoroanilino)-7-methoxy-6-(3-morpholinopropoxy)quinazolin...

A novel tetracycline-controlled transactivator–transrepressor system enables external control of oncolytic adenovirus replication
The use of restricted replication-competent adenoviruses (RRCAs) inducing tumor cell-specific lysis is a promising approach in cancer gene therapy. However, the use of RRCAs in humans carries considerable risk...

Open AccessLigands of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in oesophageal cancer cells: involvement of the p38MAPK signalling pathway
Specific ligands of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) are known to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in oesophageal cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we ...

A pilot study of irinotecan (CPT-11) as single-agent therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic esophageal carcinoma
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of irinotecan (CPT-11) in the treatment of patients with unresectable esophageal carcinoma.

Open AccessOesophageal squamous cell neoplasia in head and neck cancer patients: upregulation of COX-2 during carcinogenesis
Patients with (previous) head and neck cancer (HNC) are at high risk for develo** second squamous cell cancer of the oesophagus. The role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in oesophageal squamous carcinogenesis ha...

Article
Open AccessPrognostic value of nuclear survivin expression in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Survivin, a new member of the family of apoptosis inhibitors, is expressed almost exclusively in proliferating cells, above all in cancers. Subcellular localisation and prognostic implications of the survivin ...

Article
Open AccessExtracellular nucleotides inhibit growth of human oesophageal cancer cells via P2Y2-receptors
Extracellular ATP is known to inhibit growth of various tumours by activating specific purinergic receptors (P2-receptors). Since the therapy of advanced oesophageal cancer is unsatisfying, new therapeutic app...

Article
Screening for oesophageal neoplasia in patients with head and neck cancer
Due to advanced disease at the time of diagnosis the prognosis of oesophageal cancer is generally poor. As mass screening for oesophageal cancer is neither feasible nor reasonable, high-risk groups should be i...

Article
Open AccessSpecific ligands of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in human colorectal cancer cells
The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) has been implicated in growth control of various tumour models. Although colorectal cancers were found to overexpress PBR, the functional role of PBR in colorectal ...

Article
Growth inhibition and apoptosis induced by P2Y2 receptors in human colorectal carcinoma cells: involvement of intracellular calcium and cyclic adenosine monophosphate
Extracellular nucleotides induce apoptosis and inhibit growth of colorectal cancer cells. To understand the underlying signaling pathways, we investigated the role of nucleotide-sensitive P2 receptors and foc...

GABAC receptors in neuroendocrine gut cells: a new GABA-binding site in the gut
Although GABAC receptors play a crucial role in the mammalian central nervous system, their functional expression in peripheral tissues has not yet been studied. Using the gut neuroendocrine tumor cell line STC-...

Article
Trans-complementation of vector replication versus Coxsackie-adenovirus-receptor overexpression to improve transgene expression in poorly permissive cancer cells
Gene therapy of cancer requires high-level expression of therapeutic transgenes in the target cells. Poor gene transfer is an important limitation to adenovector-mediated cancer gene therapy. We investigated t...

A 7-year-old child with primary tumour localisation in the distal duodenum – new imaging procedures for an improved diagnosis
Duodenal gastrinomas in childhood are extremely rare and often missed at first medical consultation. We report on a 7-year-old child with sporadic gastrinoma of primary localisation in the distal duodenum. Sma...

Drug Therapy in Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Gastroenteropancreatic System
Successful treatment of neuroendocrine tumor disease of the gastroenteropancreatic system requires a multimodal approach. Radical tumor surgery is required before other therapies are initiated. So far, only su...

Different β-subunits determine G-protein interaction with transmembrane receptors
REGULATORY GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) are membrane-attached heterotrimers (α, β, γ) that mediate cellular responses to a wide variety of extracellular stimuli1,2. They undergo a cycle of guanine-nucleotide...
