Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of D2 lymph node dissection for patients with gastric cancer and pN0 and pN1 lymph node metastases
J. R. Siewert,R. Kestlmeier,Raymonde Busch,K. Böttcher,J. D. Roder,J Müller,C. Fellbaum,Heinz Höfler +7 more
TL;DR: The frequent occurrence of micro-involvement is a strong argument favouring routine D2 lymph node dissection in gastric cancer surgery in patients with lymph node metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic factors of resected adenocarcinoma of the esophagus
Arnulf H. Hölscher,Elfriede Bollschweiler,R. Bumm,Holger Bartels,Heinz Höfler,J. Rüdiger Siewert +5 more
TL;DR: Long-term survival after resection of esophageal adenocarcinoma is mainly associated with complete tumor removal, limited esophagal wall penetration, and ratio of infiltrated to removed lymph nodes of less than 0.3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene and associated lesions in families with von Hippel-Lindau disease from central Europe.
Damjan Glavac,Hartmut P. H. Neumann,Claudia Wittke,Hendrik Jaenig,Otakar Masek,Teodor Streicher,F. Pausch,Dieter Engelhardt,Karl H. Plate,Heinz Höfler,F. Chen,Berton Zbar,Hiltrud Brauch +12 more
TL;DR: These findings contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of VHL disease and its phenotypic variability and have provided rapid VHL screening for the families in central Europe, which has resulted in improved diagnosis and clinical management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellite Instability and Loss of Heterozygosity in Melanoma
TL;DR: The results indicate that microsatellite instability is a genetic alteration in a proportion of sporadic melanoma, which may reflect a defect in genes involved in DNA replication fidelity; and LOH at chromosome region 9p21 is a significant event in sporadic melanomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sites of urokinase-type plasminogen activator expression and distribution of its receptor in the normal human kidney
TL;DR: It is proposed that the uPA antigen expression in nephron segments lacking demonstrable endogenous uPA synthesis may be the result of a uPA-receptor-mediated uptake of uPA.
