Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) have been traditionally regarded as uniformly terminal conditions. The combination of cyto-reductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy has changed PSM management from palliation to possible cure. Due to the inherent differences in biological and clinical behavior, the optimal adaptation of comprehensive treatment to each PSM is still a matter of debate. A session of "The Fifth International Workshop on Peritoneal Surface Malignancy" (Milan, Italy, December 4-6, 2006) was committed to reach a consensus pertaining to conceptual and technical aspects of the loco-regional treatment of each PSM. The consensus developing process was based on principles of the Delphi method. A total of 103 international experts from 17 countries were included in six Working Groups (WG) for each of the following PSM: peritoneal mesothelioma, abdominal sarcomatosis, carcinomatosis of gastric, colo-rectal, appendiceal, and ovarian origin. Evidence reports were written by the respective WG. The main conflicting points (CP) regarding preoperative evaluation, patient eligibility, combined treatment methodology, postoperative follow-up and future investigational perspectives were summarized as a list of multiple-choice questions. Overall, 160 CP were identified. A consensus >or=51% of voters favoring one option was reached in 143/160 CP (89.4%). The general treatment guidelines and future investigational perspectives were defined.

Diseases such as cancer and diabetes leave "fingerprints" in the serum and blood plasma of patients and these may provide a valuable and non-invasive diagnostic tool in time to come, according to a Chinese study.

Fwd: Polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and colorectal cancer risk in Chinese males.

[1]World J Gastroenterol. 2008 Aug 28; 14(32): 5078-83
Gao CM, Takezaki T, Wu JZ, Zhang XM, Cao HX, Ding JH, Liu YT, Li SP, Cao J, Matsuo K, Hamajima N, Tajima K

AIM: To evaluate the relationship between drinking and polymorphisms of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) and/or aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) for risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Chinese males. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted in 190 cases and 223 population-based controls. ADH2 Arg47His (G-A) and ALDH2 Glu487Lys (G-A) genotypes were identified by PCR and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). Information on smoking and drinking was collected and odds ratio (OR) was estimated. RESULTS: The ADH2 A/A and ALDH2 G/G genotypes showed moderately increased CRC risk. The age- and smoking-adjusted OR for ADH2 A/A relative to G/A and G/G was 1.60 (95% CI=1.08-2.36), and the adjusted OR for ALDH2 G/G relative to G/A and A/A was 1.79 (95% CI=1.19-2.69). Significant interactions between ADH2, ALDH2 and drinking were observed. As compared to the subjects with ADH2 G and ALDH2 A alleles, those with ADH2 A/A and ALDH2 G/G genotypes had a significantly increased OR (3.05, 95% CI= 1.67-5.57). The OR for CRC among drinkers with the ADH2 A/A genotype was increased to 3.44 (95% CI= 1.84-6.42) compared with non-drinkers with the ADH2 G allele. The OR for CRC among drinkers with the ALDH2 G/G genotype was also increased to 2.70 (95% CI= 1.57-4.66) compared with non-drinkers with the ALDH2 A allele. CONCLUSION: Polymorphisms of the ADH2 and ALDH2 genes are significantly associated with CRC risk. There are also significant gene-gene and gene-environment interactions between drinking and ADH2 and ALDH2 polymorphisms regarding CRC risk in Chinese males.

Fwd: Stathmin 1: a novel therapeutic target for anticancer activity.

Stathmin 1 (STMN1), also known as p17, p18, p19, 19K, metablastin, oncoprotein 18, LAP 18 and Op18, is a 19 kDa cytosolic protein. It was the first discovered member of a family of phylogenetically related microtubule-destabilizing phosphoproteins critically involved in the construction and function of the mitotic spindle. A threshold level of STMN1 is required for orderly progression through mitosis in a variety of cell types. STMN1 is overexpressed across a broad range of human malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma; ovarian, prostatic, breast and lung cancers and mesothelioma). It is also upregulated in normally proliferating cell lines but is only rarely upregulated in nonproliferating cell lines with the exception of neurons, anterior pituitary cells and glial cells. Its expression is also upregulated in hepatocytes during regeneration and in lymphoid cells when they are signaled to proliferate. In this review, we summarize available data as rationale for the therapeutic manipulation of STMN1 in cancer patients.
