Journal ArticleDOI
Aneuploidy correlated 100% with chemical transformation of Chinese hamster cells
Ruhong Li,George Yerganian,Peter H. Duesberg,Peter H. Duesberg,Alwin Kraemer,A. Willer,Charlotte Rausch,Ruediger Hehlmann +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that aneuploidy is the cause rather than a consequence of transformation of cancer, which can explain the numerous unique properties of cancer cells, such as invasiveness, dedifferentiation, distinct morphology, and specific surface antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aneuploidy Precedes and Segregates with Chemical Carcinogenesis
Peter H. Duesberg,Peter H. Duesberg,Ruhong Li,David Rasnick,Charlotte Rausch,A. Willer,Alwin Kraemer,George Yerganian,Ruediger Hehlmann +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, with the carcinogens studied, aneuploidy precedes cancer and is necessary for carcinogenesis.
Journal Article
Dose-dependent Effect of Thalidomide on Overall Survival in Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
Kai Neben,Thomas Moehler,Axel Benner,Alwin Kraemer,Gerlinde Egerer,Anthony D. Ho,Hartmut Goldschmidt +6 more
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis demonstrates that the cumulative 3-month Thal dosage is one of the major prognostic factors for OS, supporting the hypothesis of a dose-dependent effect of Thal in relapsed MM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms of the tumor necrosis factor-α gene promoter predict for outcome after thalidomide therapy in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma
Kai Neben,Joannis Mytilineos,Thomas Moehler,Astrid Preiss,Alwin Kraemer,Anthony D. Ho,Gerhard Opelz,Hartmut Goldschmidt +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that regulatory polymorphisms of the T NF-α gene can affect TNF-α production and predict the outcome after Thal therapy, particularly in those MM pts who are genetically defined as “high producers” of TNF -α.
Journal Article
High plasma basic fibroblast growth factor concentration is associated with response to thalidomide in progressive multiple myeloma
Kai Neben,Thomas Moehler,Gerlinde Egerer,Alwin Kraemer,Jens Hillengass,Axel Benner,Anthony D. Ho,Hartmut Goldschmidt +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined prognostic factors that might be predictive for response to thalidomide (Thal) in progressive multiple myeloma (n = 54).
