BACKGROUND
Soluble mesothelin-related peptides (SMRP)have been reported to be potential biomarkers for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We report analytical and preliminary clinical studies of MESOMARK, a quantitative assay for SMRP.
METHODS
The MESOMARK assay is a 2-step immunoenzymatic assay
For poorly immunogenic tumors such as mesothelioma there is an imperious need to understand why antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DCs) are not prone to supporting the anticancer T cell response. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is thought to be a major contributor to this DC
This study was conducted to differentiate malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) from lung cancer (LC) and benign pleural effusion (BPE) from pleural fluids using the diagnostic power of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance mode coupled with chemometrics. Infrared
Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the generation of anti-cancer immune responses, however there is evidence that DCs in cancer patients are dysfunctional. Lipid accumulation driven by tumor-derived factors has recently been shown to contribute to DC dysfunction in several human
Xenobiotic induction of liver peroxisomes is associated with hypolipidemia. To test the involvement of the peroxisome proliferation with the hypolipidemia, male rats were inoculated in the groin with five different tumors: an aflatoxin-induced hepatoma, a lasiocarpine-induced hepatoma, an
This paper describes Phase I clinical studies of Antineoplaston A2 injections. The studies involved 15 patients diagnosed with advanced neoplastic diseases including cancers of the breast, bladder, lung, kidney, oesophagus, colon and liver, mesothelioma and glioma. Antineoplaston A2 was administered
