Cutaneous toxicity after intradermal vaccination with Mycobacterium vaccae against lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma
This letter reported two patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital who developed unusual skin reactions after injections into the skin of SRL172, a heat-killed Mycobacterium vaccae vaccine being tested against cancer. The first, a 52…

Association of transforming growth factor beta1 gene polymorphisms and asbestos-induced fibrosis and tumors
…Therefore, we examined an association between the 2 TGF-beta1 gene polymorphisms and asbestos-induced lung fibrosis and lung cancer. Detection of the 2 polymorphisms was performed by rapid capillary polymerase chain reaction, with melting curve…

Aberrant methylation of the CDKN2a/p16INK4a gene promoter region in preinvasive bronchial lesions: a prospective study in high-risk patients without invasive cancer
…the CDKN2A gene. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction was performed on DNA extracted from pure bronchial cell populations derived from biopsies and detection of p16 protein was studied by immunohistochemistry on contiguous parallel biopsies. Aberrant methylation…

Atypical carcinoid presenting as mesothelioma
…of the lung. In one case, pleural spread of tumor was seen while in the other an extensive fibrotic pleural reaction existed. To our knowledge these cases represent the first examples of atypical carcinoid causing pseudomesothelioma.

The Human mineral dust-induced gene, mdig, is a cell growth regulating gene associated with lung cancer
…genes that are regulated by mineral dusts. Using a differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction technique and mRNAs of alveolar macrophages from both normal individuals and coal miners, we identified a novel mineral dust-induced…

E-cadherin, E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule: immunohistochemical markers for differentiation between mesothelioma and metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinoma?
…staining patterns for VCAM and E-selectin, there were significant differences in the expression of E-cadherin: while nearly all adenocarcinomas stained positively, there was almost no staining reaction of the mesotheliomas. Therefore, E-cadherin -- in…

Can semi-automated image cytometry on induced sputum become a screening tool for lung cancer? Evaluation of quantitative semi-automated sputum cytometry on radon- and uranium-exposed workers
…workers resected for lung cancer, and 200 controls (50% smokers), were stained using the Papanicolaou (Pap) method and the Feulgen reaction with thionin. Cytometry was performed using the Cyto-Savant automated system. Atypical nuclei were found…

HBME-1, MOC-31, WT1 and calretinin: an assessment of recently described markers for mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma
… all reactive pleuras were negative. The reaction with Leu-M1 was graded as equivocal in 25% of the adenocarcinomas. All 24 of the autopsy cases of mesothelioma were negative for WT1 and in many operative specimens…

Serologic responses in patients with malignant mesothelioma: evidence for both public and private specificities
…protein. Antibodies to topoisomerase II beta were found in 13 of 14 patients and in 6 of 16 volunteers, though the volunteers' reactions were generally weak. Antibodies to U2AF(65) were found in two patients. Each…
