Prostate cancer (PC) is highly prevalent worldwide and is currently the 3rd most commonly diagnosed prostate cancer in Hong Kong male population with more than 2000 new cases diagnosed per year. Depending on the clinical staging and also the patients' condition, different treatments, including

Prostate cancer (PC) is highly prevalent worldwide and is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men globally and is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in men. 1 In some Asian areas, even n with widely used serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) diagnostic testing, more than 50% men with

Evaluation of response to systemic therapy is dependant on clinical and radiographic changes assessed prior to and after several cycles of systemic therapy. The response rate for lung cancer to systemic therapy ranges from 30 - 85%, depending on histology and other clinical factors, but difficult to

Background One of the major limitations of psychiatric research is the necessity to use indirect methods to study neuronal functions. Among these, studies of transformed lymphocytes are an invaluable tool. Epstein Barr virus (EBV) transformed lymphoblasts can be used for a variety of purposes

A group of 20 female and 20 male normal healthy volunteers ages 18 to 69 will be recruited from the community by use of a general advertisement placed initially as posters. We will tell the volunteers that we are conducting this study in healthy volunteers to determine how amantadine is eliminated

Glutathione (gamma-glutamyl-cysteine-glycine; GSH) is a powerful antioxidant found within every cell. GSH is predominantly known to protect the cells from damage caused by free radicals. The concentration of glutathione declines with age, stress, and in some age-related diseases. When glutathione

When patients present to their physician with symptoms of cancer at a later stage of development, survival tends to be poorer.

This multicentric, single blind study will enrol 160 women (18-75 years old) operated on tumorectomy and adenectomy (T1, T2, T3, N0, N1, M0) for breast cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 2x2 factorial plan : Group 1 = control (n = 40) ; group 2 = ketamine group administered during and

OBJECTIVES: - Compare levels of polyamine spermine, polyamine putrescine, and spermidine in patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing brachytherapy or radical prostatectomy and treated with neoadjuvant eflornithine and bicalutamide vs eflornithine alone vs bicalutamide alone vs no

OBJECTIVES: - Compare the levels of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) and progression-related genes in the prostate tissue of patients at high genetic risk for prostate cancer treated with eflornithine (DFMO) vs placebo. - Determine the side effects of DFMO and compare them with the
