Article Synopsis
- The "genometastasis hypothesis" suggests that free tumor nucleic acids might convert host stem cells into cancer cells, potentially leading to metastases.
- The study investigates the role of apoptotic bodies in serum and their correlation with tumor progression in a rat model of colon cancer, focusing on how these bodies may carry tumor DNA.
- Results indicate that apoptotic bodies were significantly increased only in later stages of tumor development, implying they may not be the primary carriers of tumor nucleic acids in early cancer stages.
Objective: To determine the effect of a psychological stress control intervention on lymphocyte populations in patients preparing for outpatient surgery.
Patients And Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial enrolling 74 patients scheduled for major outpatient surgery at the Hospital Universitario de Albacete in Spain. The patients were randomized to a control (n = 37) or experimental group (n = 37).
