Replication error in human breast cancer: comparison with clinical variables and family history of cancer.

Replication errors (RER) at microsatellite repeats indicate genomic instability in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and in some sporadic cancers. We have studied genomic instability in 313 sporadic breast tumors and in 106 tumors from BRCA2, 999del5 carriers at 43 genomic loci on 13 chromosomes. RER was observed in 8/419 (1.9%) of the cases at one or more chromosomal loci. The frequencies of type I and type II RER were similar. The majority of RER+ tumors showed ER+, PgR+, high S-phase fraction, tumor size >2 cm and LOH at 2p, 2q and 3p. All 8 RER+ tumors were of the ductal hi

Drug-induced liver injury.

Drug hepatoxicity can be nonidiosyncratic (predictable), as in the case of acetaminophen, or idiosyncratic (unpredictable). This review article focuses primarily on idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). New epidemiologic data suggest that approximately 20 new cases of DILI per 100,000 persons occur each year. Idiosyncratic DILI accounts for 11% of the cases of acute liver failure in the United States. Risk factors for DILI include medication dose, drug lipophilicity, and extent of hepatic metabolism. There is mixed evidence to support the role of host factors such as age, sex, and ch

Trends in survival of patients diagnosed with cancer of the digestive organs in the Nordic countries 1964-2003 followed up to the end of 2006.

UNLABELLED: Cancers of the digestive organs (including the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) constitute one-fifth of all cancer cases in the Nordic countries and is a group of diseases with diverse time trends and varying consequences for public health. In this study we examine trends in relative survival in relation to the corresponding incidence and mortality rates in the Nordic countries during the period 1964-2003. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data were retrieved from the NORDCAN database for the period 1964 to 2003, grouped into eigh
