[Predictive significance of serum 90K/Mac-2BP on chemotherapy response in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].

Background & Objective: For newly diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), CHOP regimen shows good response, but quite a few patients belong to intrinsic drug resistance, or relapse after complete remission (CR). Clinical study has been focused on screening them out and improving the therapeutic response. The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive value of serum 90K/Mac-2BP on chemotherapy response in newly diagnosed NHLs, and to analyze the potential significance of serum 90K/Mac-2BP as a tumor marker in NHLs.

[Correlation of tumor angiogenesis with clinicopathologic prognostic parameters in choroidal melanoma].

Objective: Tumor angiogenesis is an essential step for tumor growth, progression and metastasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a mitogen specific for vascular endothelial cells, and plays a key role in tumor angiogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the expression of VEGF mRNA and VEGF protein in choroidal melanoma and to correlate these factors and the microvessel density (MVD) with the clinicopathologic prognostic features.
