Merkel Cell Carcinoma Of The Skin, Patricia Tai, Edward Yu, Jon Tonita, James Gilchrist

Edward Yu

Background: Neuroendocrine/Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) of the skin is an uncommon tumour. Currently, there are only limited data available on the natural history, prognostic factors, and patient management of MCC. Objective: To review our experience and build the largest database from the literature. Methods: Twenty-eight cases from the London Regional Cancer Center were combined with 633 cases obtained from the literature searched in English, French, German, and Chinese for the years 1966 to 1998. The database included age, sex, initial disease status at presentation to the clinic, site of primary, any coexisting disease, any previous irradiation, sizes of primary/nodal/distant metas-tases, …

Factor Analysis Of The Dsm-Iii-R Borderline Personality Disorder Criteria In Psychiatric Inpatients, Charles A. Sanislow, Carlos M. Grilo, Thomas H. Mcglashan

Charles A. Sanislow, Ph.D.

Objective: The goal of this study was to examine the factor structure of the DSM-III-R criteria for borderline personality disorder in young adult psychiatric inpatients.

Method: The authors assessed 141 acutely ill inpatients with the Personality Disorder Examination, a semistructured diagnostic interview for DSM-III-R personality disorders. They used correlational analyses to examine the associations among the different criteria for borderline personality disorder and performed an exploratory factor analysis.

Results: Cronbach’s coefficient alpha for the borderline personality disorder criteria was 0.69. A principal components factor analysis with a varimax rotation accounted for 57.2% of the variance and revealed three homogeneous factors. …

Reporting The Study Populations Of Clinical Trials. Clear Transmission Or Static On The Line?, Stanley Shapiro, Charles Weijer, Benjamin Freedman

Charles Weijer

In contrast to attempts that have been made to measure the clarity of reporting of the methods of clinical trials in journal articles, we report here an attempt to measure the accuracy of methods reporting. We focus in this article on eligibility criteria as a test case for the reporting of clinical trial methods. We examined the reporting of eligibility criteria in the protocol, methods paper (if applicable), journal article, and Clinical Alert for articles appearing in print between January 1988 and September 1994 for which a Clinical Alert had been issued. Eligibility criteria were further classified into five categories …

Protecting Communities In Biomedical Research, Charles Weijer, E. Emanuel

Charles Weijer

Although for the last 50 years, ethicists dealing with human experimentation have focused primarily on the need to protect individual research subjects and vulnerable groups, biomedical research, especially in genetics, now requires the establishment of standards for the protection of communities. We have developed such a strategy, based on five steps. (i) Identification of community characteristics relevant to the biomedical research setting, (ii) delineation of a typology of different types of communities using these characteristics, (iii) determination of the range of possible community protections, (iv) creation of connections between particular protections and one or more community characteristics necessary for its …

Polymorphic Repeat In Aib1 Does Not Alter Breast Cancer Risk, Haiman A. Christopher, Susan E. Hankinson, Donna Spiegelman, Graham A. Colditz, Walter C. Willett, Frank E. Speizer, Myles Brown, David J. Hunter

Graham Andrew Colditz

We assessed the association between a glutamine repeat polymorphism in AIB1 and breast cancer risk in a case-control study (464 cases, 624 controls) nested within the Nurses' Health Study cohort. We observed no association between AIB1 genotype and breast cancer incidence, or specific tumor characteristics. These findings suggest that AIB1 repeat genotype does not influence postmenopausal breast cancer risk among Caucasian women in the general population.

Chemotherapy In Neuroendocrine/Merkel Cell Carcinoma Of The Skin: Case Series And Review Of 204 Cases, Patricia Tai, Edward Yu, Eric Winquist, Alex Hammond, Larry Stitt, Jan Tonita, Jim Gilchrist

Edward Yu

Purpose: To study the use of chemotherapy for Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) of the skin. Patients and methods: Twenty-five cases of MCC were treated at the London Regional Cancer Center between 1987 and 1997. Thirteen cases treated with chemotherapy were reviewed with 191 cases from the literature. Results: At presentation, 24 patients had localized skin lesions (stage I) and one had locoregional involvement (stage II). Among the nine cases with recurrent nodal disease, six had chemotherapy as a component of salvage treatment. They were all free of disease at a median of 19 months (range, 12 to 37 months). In …

Radiation Treatment For Cervical Esophagus: Patterns Of Practice Study In Canada, 1996, Patricia Tai, Jake Van Dyk, Edward Yu, Jerry Battista, Matthew Schmid, Larry Stitt, Jon Tonita, Terry Coad

Edward Yu

PURPOSE: To assess the patterns of practice among Canadian radiation oncologists who treat esophageal cancers, using a trans-Canada survey, completed at the end of 1996. METHODS AND MATERIALS: One of 3 case presentations of different stages of cervical esophageal cancer was randomly assigned and sent to participating radiation oncologists by mail. Respondents were asked to fill in questionnaires regarding treatment techniques and to outline target volumes for the boost phase of radiotherapy. Radiation oncologists from 26 of 27 (96%) of all Canadian centers participated. RESULTS: High-energy X-rays (>/= 10 MV) were employed by 68% of the respondents in part …
