Journal ArticleDOI

A phase 1/2 clinical trial of enzyme replacement in fabry disease: pharmacokinetic, substrate clearance, and safety studies.

TL;DR: A single-center, open-label, dose-ranging study of r-halphaGalA treatment in 15 patients, each of whom received five infusions at one of five dose regimens provides the basis for a phase 3 trial of enzyme-replacement therapy for Fabry disease.
Journal Article

BRAF Oncogenic Mutations Correlate with Progression rather than Initiation of Human Melanoma

TL;DR: The findings imply that BRAF mutations cannot be involved in the initiation of the great majority of melanomas but instead reflect a progression event with important prognostic implications in the transition from the greatmajority of RGP melanomas to VGP and/or metastatic melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of two density gradient centrifugation systems for the enrichment of disseminated tumor cells in blood.

TL;DR: Processing blood from tumor patients with OncoQuick increased the chance of detecting circulating tumor cells and simplified immunocytochemical evaluation by reducing the number of cytospins and increasing the tumor cell density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking cessation after successful treatment of small-cell lung cancer is associated with fewer smoking-related second primary cancers.

TL;DR: To estimate the risk for second primary cancers in survivors of small-cell lung cancer, all patients with this malignancy who remained disease free for 2 years after the initiation of therapy at the National Cancer Institute were evaluated.
Journal Article

High frequency of somatically acquired p53 mutations in small-cell lung cancer cell lines and tumors.

TL;DR: P53 mutations are found in SCLC with high frequency; p53 mutations in a significant fraction of cases generate cDNAs with nonsense or splicing mutations; and to date, these mutations have all been somatically acquired events.
