    • Avaliação da evolução do tumor pulmonar experimental induzido por uretana em camundongos sedentários Santos 

      Tomás, Caio Marins [UNIFESP] (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2013-02-18)
      Tumores “escapam” da função antitumoral pela secreção de fatores que inibem o sistema imune. Um efeito dos fatores secretados pelo tumor é o aumento das células mieloides supressoras (MDSC) que suprimem a resposta imune ...

    • Biomolecular analysis of matrix proteoglycans as biomarkers in non small cell lung cancer 

      Rangel, Maristela P.; Sa, Vanessa K. de; Prieto, Tabatha; Martins, João Roberto Maciel [UNIFESP]; Olivieri, Eloisa R.; Carraro, Dirce; Takagaki, Teresa; Capelozzi, Vera Luiza (Springer, 2018)
      Matrix proteoglycans (PGs) have shown promise as biomarker in malignancies. We employed agarose gel eletrophoresis, quantitative real- time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry to evaluate ...

    • Calcitonina monomérica plasmática e hipercalcemia em pacientes portadores de neoplasia pulmonar 

      Coifman, R. [UNIFESP]; Weforte, R.v.b. [UNIFESP]; Kasamatsu, T.s. [UNIFESP]; Fukusima, L. [UNIFESP]; Santoro, I. [UNIFESP]; Jamnik, S. [UNIFESP]; Vieira, J.g.h. [UNIFESP]; Lazaretti-Castro, Marise [UNIFESP] (Associação Médica Brasileira, 1997-06-01)
      BACKGROUND. Calcitonin (CT) is a peptidic hormone produced by the thyroid C cells and related to calcium metabolism. High plasmatic levels of this hormone are found in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma, what makes ...

    • Familial cancer aggregation and the risk of lung cancer 

      Wünsch-filho, Victor; Boffetta, Paolo; Colin, Didier; Moncau, José Eduardo [UNIFESP] (Associação Paulista de Medicina - APM, 2002-03-01)
      CONTEXT: Around 90% of lung cancer worldwide is attributable to cigarette smoking, although less than 20% of cigarette smokers develop lung cancer. Other factors such as diet, chronic lung diseases, occupation and possibly ...

    • Identification of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and T regulatory cells in lung microenvironment after Urethane-induced lung tumor 

      Perillo Rosin, Flavia Cristina [UNIFESP]; Pedregosa, Juliana Figueredo [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Joaquim Soares de [UNIFESP]; Bueno, Valquiria [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2011-07-01)
      Tumor growth occurs by the imbalance between cells with effector function and cells with suppressor/regulatory functions. To investigate this scenario we administered the chemical carcinogen Urethane in BALB/c mice and ...

    • Lung Tumor Development in the Presence of Sphingosine 1-phosphate Agonist FTY720 

      Salinas, Natalia Regina Antunes [UNIFESP]; Lopes, Camila Takao [UNIFESP]; Palma, Patricia V.; Oshima, Celina Tizuko Fujiyama [UNIFESP]; Bueno, Valquiria [UNIFESP] (Springer, 2009-12-01)
      Urethane is a chemical carcinogen which causes lung tumorigenesis in mice with similarities to human adenocarcinoma (AC). the sphingosine 1-phosphate agonist FTY720 administered to mice in doses above 5 mg/kg/day has been ...

    • Reliability of the Brazilian version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) and the FACT-Lung Symptom Index (FLSI) 

      Franceschini, Juliana [UNIFESP]; Jardim, José Roberto [UNIFESP]; Fernandes, Ana Luisa Godoy [UNIFESP]; Jamnik, Sergio [UNIFESP]; Santoro, Ilka Lopes [UNIFESP] (Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2010-01-01)
      OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of the Brazilian version of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) with the FACT-Lung Symptom Index (FLSI) questionnaire. INTRODUCTION: ...
