Evaluation of HIF-1α and VEGF-A expression in radiation-induced cystitis: A case-control study.

The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (CC) is chemo-radiotherapy. Once the bladder receives part of the radiation, a typical inflammatory condition that configures radiation-induced cystitis may develop. Chronic radiation-induced cystitis is commonly characterized by the bladder new submucosal vascularization, which is typically fragile and favors hematuria.

A systematic review of secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland: where are we?

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to describe the epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, treatment, prognostic factors, and treatment outcomes of secretory carcinoma.

Study Design: A comprehensive search of Lilacs, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science databases was conducted to identify all case reports, letter to the editor, and histopathologic reclassifications regarding salivary gland secretory carcinoma published in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Results: The final analysis included 119 studies, which totaled 642 secretory carcinoma diagnoses, with 239 case reports and 403 diagnostic reclassifications, mostly in the United States.

Racemic Etodolac is cytotoxic and cytostatic for B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.

Several epidemiological studies have provided evidence that administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could have a prophylactic effect against some cancers such as sporadic colorectal cancer and leukemia. Indeed, various NSAIDs have been shown to induce apoptosis in malignant cells. We evaluated the effect of racemic Etodolac on proliferation and cell survival in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells.
