IGF2R polymorphisms and risk of esophageal and gastric adenocarcinomas.

29 Nov 2009 The mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2R) encodes a protein that plays a critical role in tumor suppression, in part by modulating bioavailability of a potent mitogen, insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF2). We tested ... Read more...

Adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus: incidence and survival rates in New South Wales, 1972-2005.

19 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate trends in the incidence of adenocarcinoma (AC) of the oesophagus in New South Wales, factors associated with a diagnosis of AC, and factors associated with survival of patients with AC. DESIGN AND SETTING: We examined all ... Read more...

Prediction of simultaneous esophageal lesions in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a multivariate analysis.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency of concomitant esophageal lesions detected by esophagoscopy in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the head and neck (HNSCC) and to identify the risk factors. DESIGN: Retrospective medical record analysis. SETTING: ... Read more...
