With the increased use of screening mammography, the incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has increased substantially and it currently accounts for 20-30% of newly diagnosed breast carcinomas in United States. Breast conserving therapy with or without radiotherapy is the accepted treatment for most cases of DCIS. However, the local recurrence rate with such therapy rages from 10 to 40% with half of these patients developing invasive carcinoma. Tamoxifen, used as an adjuvant systemic therapy for DCIS, does not increase overall survival and data on reduction of local recurrence rates are conflicting.
The current classification for DCIS based on …

Despite continued efforts, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains an incurable form of primary brain cancer. Surgical resection followed by radiation treatment and chemotherapy have been the most effective modalities in prolonging median survival time to 14 months. This research aims to study the response of two different cell culture models to a novel drug delivery method termed photochemical internalization (PCI). PCI is a technique to improve the utilization of macromolecules (e.g. the chemotherapeutic drug bleomycin) in site-specific cancer therapy. This concept is based on the use of specially designed photosensitizers (e.g. aluminum phthalocyanine disulfonate; AlPcS 2a ) which preferentially localize in …

BACKGROUND: Bacterial biofilm is ubiquitous in nature. However, it is not clear how this crowded habitat would impact the evolution of bacteriophage (phage) life history traits. In this study, we constructed isogenic lambda phage strains that only differed in their adsorption rates, because of the presence/absence of extra side tail fibers or improved tail fiber J, and maker states. The high cell density and viscosity of the biofilm environment was approximated by the standard double-layer agar plate. The phage infection cycle in the biofilm environment was decomposed into three stages: settlement on to the biofilm surface, production of phage progeny …
