Journal ArticleDOI
A controlled trial of intratumoral ONYX-015, a selectively-replicating adenovirus, in combination with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in patients with recurrent head and neck cancer
Fadlo R. Khuri,John Nemunaitis,Ian Ganly,James Arseneau,Ian F. Tannock,Larry Romel,Martin Gore,J. Ironside,Robert Hugh MacDougall,Carla Heise,Britta Randlev,Ann M. Gillenwater,Patricia A. Bruso,Stanley B. Kaye,Waun Ki Hong,David H. Kirn +15 more
TL;DR: A phase II trial of a combination of intratumoral ONYX-015 injection with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in patients with recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck found substantial objective responses, including a high proportion of complete responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the Biological Basis of Autofluorescence Imaging for Oral Cancer Detection: High-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy in Viable Tissue
Ina Pavlova,Michelle D. Williams,Adel K. El-Naggar,Rebecca Richards-Kortum,Ann M. Gillenwater +4 more
TL;DR: Imaging oral lesions with optical devices/probes that sample mostly stromal fluorescence may result in a similar loss of fluorescence intensity and may fail to distinguish benign from precancerous lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive diagnosis of oral neoplasia based on fluorescence spectroscopy and native tissue autofluorescence
Ann M. Gillenwater,Rhonda F. Jacob,Ravi Ganeshappa,Bonnie L. Kemp,Adel K. El-Naggar,J. Lynn Palmer,Gary L. Clayman,Michele Follen Mitchell,Rebecca Richards-Kortum +8 more
TL;DR: Consistent differences exist between the fluorescence spectra of abnormal and normal oral mucosa, and fluorescence Spectroscopy has the potential to improve the noninvasive diagnosis of oral cavity neoplasia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Merkel Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: Effect of Surgical Excision and Radiation on Recurrence and Survival
Ann M. Gillenwater,Amy C. Hessel,William H. Morrison,M. Andrew Burgess,Elvio G. Silva,Dianna Roberts,Helmuth Goepfert +6 more
TL;DR: The use of postoperative radiation therapy was associated with a significant improvement in locoregional control and survival rates and future therapeutic innovations should be directed toward controlling the development of distant metastases in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical systems for in vivo molecular imaging of cancer.
Konstantin V Sokolov,Jesse Aaron,Betsy Hsu,Dawn L. Nida,Ann M. Gillenwater,Michele Follen,Calum MacAulay,Karen Adler-Storthz,Brian A. Korgel,Michael R. Descour,Renata Pasqualini,Wadih Arap,Wan L. Lam,Rebecca Richards-Kortum +13 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive strategy to develop inexpensive, rugged and portable optical imaging systems for molecular imaging of cancer, which couples the development of optically active contrast agents with advances in functional genomics of cancer.
