## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Significant antitumor effects were previously observed with radioimmunotherapy (RIT) using an antiβcarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody (F6) labeled with iodineβ131 in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC)βbearing nude mice. Nevertheless, no complete response was
## BACKGROUND. The medical treatment of advanced medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is still questionable. Results of chemotherapy are disappointing with almost no curative responses, few partial responses, and many side-effects. A recent report has suggested the activity of combination recombinant
## Abstract MAbβPAM4 is an antiβMUC1 antibody that has been shown to be reactive with 85% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas with no reactivity with normal pancreas or other tissues. Initial clinical studies have shown excellent targeting with high tumor/nontumor ratios. Gemcitabine, an analog of deoxyc
## Background: The clinical courses of patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (mtc) vary, and a number of prognostic factors have been studied, but the significance of some of these factors remains controversial. ## Methods: The study group consisted of 104 patients with mtc or c-cell hyperpla
Background Adenovirus efficiently infects a broad range of target cells, thereby preventing selective gene transfer. Moreover, several cell types and tissues including primary tumors are refractory to adenoviral infection, mainly because of low expression levels of coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR
