    Description / Table of Contents: Oncology: Evidence-Based Approach is a textbook designed to reflect the principles and current practice of oncology with contributors from the fields of medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. The textbook will incorporate an evidence-based approach, enabling the reader to make decisions on the basis of concrete data. Sections on solid tumors, hematologic malignancies and the practice of oncology address the natural history and therapy for the full spectrum of neoplastic diseases in the adult. Further sections present fundamentals of supportive care of the cancer patient, the management of oncologic emergencies and acute toxicities of therapy, as well as care of metastatic disease and the terminally-ill patient. Breaking new ground, the textbook features thoughtful, in-depth sections on cancer prevention and control, cancer surviorship, the economics of cancer care, and cancer informatics. Cancer imaging is covered with an organ system-based approach, with an additional chapter on the especially intriguing potential of PET. Furthermore, a comprehensive section on translational basic science reviews the fundamentals of molecular biology, the cell cycle and signal transduction, carcinogenesis, cancer genetics, the biology of invations and metastasis, and tumor immunology.

    Notes: Abstract: Primary chemotherapy (the administration of chemotherapy prior to definitive locoregional therapy) of breast cancer has numerous potential advantages and several identified disadvantages. While primary chemotherapy has been used widely in the treatment of locally advanced and inflammatory breast cancers, interest is now turning to its use in resectable breast cancers. Within the last five years, several trials of primary chemotherapy in the treatment of resectable breast cancer, both randomized and non-randomized, have been published. Although preliminary reports suggest that primary chemotherapy may be advantageous, the results from definitive randomized trials are not yet available. Until they are, this approach, although promising, remains in the investigational stages.

    Notes: Abstract: Since Beatson's observation of breast cancer regression after oophorectomy one hundred years ago (1), therapies directed toward the estrogen-estrogen receptor (ER) endocrine axis have become a cornerstone of breast cancer treatment. Surgical ablative techniques, such as oophorectomy, adrenalectomy, and hypophysectomy have been largely replaced by pharmacological approaches that inhibit estrogen-dependent breast cancer growth, either by reducing estrogen synthesis (LHRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, and progestins), by blocking ER function (tamoxifen) or by interfering with the cellular response to ER activation (androgens). Indeed, one could argue that hormone therapy for breast cancer represents one of the most successful areas of logical drug design in cancer treatment. Recent drug developments have led to improved side-effect profiles for hormonal agents. In addition, the remarkable organ-selective agonist/antagonist properties of tamoxifen-related compounds are the basis for an effort to develop hormone replacement therapies that combine breast cancer treatment/prevention with reduced osteoporosis and heart disease risk. While the ER axis will remain a primary focus for the further development of hormonal therapies (Table 1), the value of ER as a therapeutic target will always be limited by the primary or acquired estrogen insensitivity that nearly all breast cancers ultimately display. Current hopes for circumventing this problem lie in the vast therapeutic potential afforded by recent molecular insights into growth regulatory pathways. Logical choices for novel therapeutic targets for “estrogen insensitive” breast cancer includes alternative nuclear hormone receptors, growth factor receptors, and signal transduction molecules in “ER-independent” growth-regulatory pathways. Inhibitors of pathophysiological processes intrinsic to tumor progression, such as angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis are also promising noncytotoxic alternatives in breast cancer therapy (Table 2). Studies of growth regulators in breast cancer are also likely to lead to new tumor markers to accurately guide choices from the increasing array of therapeutic options available.

    Notes: ▪ Abstract: After clinical staging, the single most important prognostic factor for patients with newly diagnosed primary breast cancer is the presence or absence of detectable metastases to axillary lymph nodes when examined by conventional light microscopy. More sensitive methods of determination of lymph node status, such as evaluation of serial sections, immunohistochemical staining, and use of molecular biological assays increase the rate of detection of micrometastases. Although the feasibility of enhanced detection of occult axillary metastatic disease is well established, the prognostic significance of such detection is only recently starting to emerge. Furthermore, the enormous recent interest in the application of sentinel lymph node biopsy as an alternative to the evaluation of the entire axilla in patients with breast cancer makes the first-time detailed evaluation for micrometastases practically feasible. In this review the different methods of detecting micrometastatic disease in the axilla and the significance of such findings are discussed. ▪

    Notes: High porosity nanocrystalline Si thin films have been deposited using a high density plasma approach at temperatures as low as 100 °C. These films exhibit the same unique properties, such as visible luminescence and gas sensitivity, that are seen in electrochemically etched Si (i.e., porous Si). The nanostructure consists of an array of rodlike columns normal to the substrate surface situated in a void matrix. We have demonstrated that this structure is fully controllable and have varied the porosity up to ∼90% (as derived from optical reflectance) by varying the deposition conditions. In particular, the impact of plasma power has been found to reduce porosity by increasing the nuclei density and therefore the areal density of columns. Humidity sensors have been demonstrated based on the enhanced conductivity of our films (up to 6 orders of magnitude) in response to increase in relative humidity. Depending on the porosity, the conductivity-relative humidity behavior of our films shows variations which can be correlated with the nanostructure. Also, these variations indicate that the dominant charge transport is limited by the dissociation of water into its ions at the column surfaces. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: [Auszug] To the editor—We note the paper of Agrawal et al. which, in contradiction to our earlier report (Gimmi et al., ref. 2), could not find evidence of MUC 1-induced apoptosis of T cells. Prior to the Agrawal et al. publication, one of the authors of Gimmi et al. reported that he was unable to ...
