Another interesting study is called, "Somatic genetic alterations in human malignant mesothelioma (review)." By Lee WC, Testa JR. - Department of Medical Oncology, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA 19111, USA. Int J Oncol. 1999 Jan;14(1):181-8. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - A review of cytogenetic and molecular genetic findings in human malignant mesotheliomas (MMs) is presented. The complex profile of somatic genetic changes characteristic of MMs implicates a multistep process of tumorigenesis in this malignancy. In particular, the occurrence of multiple, recurrent cytogenetic deletions in MMs suggests that loss and/or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are critical to the development and progression of such tumors. Karyotypic and comparative genomic hybridization analyses of MMs have demonstrated frequent deletions of specific regions within chromosome arms 1p, 3p, 6q, 9p, 15q and 22q, and subsequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies have documented high frequencies of allelic loss from each of these chromosomal sites. Positional candidate gene approaches have identified TSGs within two of these regions, i.e., p16/CDKN2A at 9p21 and NF2 at 22q12, which...more

Conclusions - In MPM, the combined modality approach using the Carboplatin/Gemcitabine combination as induction chemotherapy is feasible, with good results in terms of survival and morbidity. Our results are similar to those of other studies using a heavier modality treatment."Asbestos Exposure and Human Mesothelioma Cell Lines By:...more
Research that I performed in my second year at Wichita resulted in me receiving an award from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine in 1987 for best research done by a resident physician in the world. This was really exciting and again provided the necessary boost to obtain the next step in my career. I will talk more about this in my next post.Endometriosis Treatment - The Benevolent Dictator By: Dr Andrew Cook About the Author Vital Health InstituteLeading Specialist in Women's Health & Endometriosis Treatment Treating women in US, Canada, Switzerland & Many Other Countries15055 Los Gatos Blvd, Suite 250Los Gatos, CA 95032(408) 358-2511 or (888) 256-7705For More Information Visit:EndometriosisEndometriosis Symptoms (ArticlesBase SC #3528963) Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Endometriosis Treatment - The Benevolent Dictator more
