In this phase-I trial, we evaluated the safety of S-1, a novel oral fluoropyrimidine anticancer agent, combined with external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to determine the maximum-tolerated dose and...
Clinical significance of midkine expression in pancreatic head carcinoma
Maeda, S, Shinchi, H, Kurahara, H, Mataki, Y, Noma, H, Maemura, K, ...
Midkine (MK) is a heparin-binding growth factor and a product of a retinoic acid-responsive gene. Midkine is overexpressed in many carcinomas and thought to play an important role in carcinogenesis....
Expression of Osteopontin in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Kita, Y, Natsugoe, S, Okumura, H, Matsumoto, M, Uchikado, Y, Setoyama, T, ...
Osteopontin is a multifunctional 34 kDa extracellular matrix protein with a cell-binding domain. It is involved cell adhesion and cell migration and is therefore considered to influence...
