A case of delayed pulmonary metastases from an ameloblastoma of the mandible, which occurred 20 years after surgical resection of the primary tumor but with no recurrence at the primary site, is reported. Combination chemotherapy using cisplatin, adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide has produced a very

β¦ Synopsis
Fig. 1. Sequence analysis was informative showing loss of heterozygosity in the tumor of the mandible compared with the patient's peripheral blood lymphocytes and a normal control. The jaw tumor was homozygous for the same exon 14 splice site 1471-2 A ! G mutation that was heterozygous in the patient's lymphocytes.

## Abstract We have critically examined the nude mouse model for human retinoblastoma to determine whether or not characteristics found in the parent tumor are retained in the mouse. We have demonstrated that most tumors grown in the anterior chamber of the nude mouse maintain a similar karyotype,
Among the 114 children with retinoblastoma seen at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 1962-1984, 11 have received treatment with chemotherapy for measurable extraocular disease which was present at diagnosis (seven patients) or developed later during the subsequent course of their disease (four p
The gene responsible for the formation of both retinoblastoma and osteosarcoma recently has been isolated. This represents the first human recessive cancer gene ever cloned. Structural deletions within one or both retinoblastoma gene alleles were commonly noted in the retinoblastomas and an osteosar
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The objectives of this prospective study were to avoid adjuvant treatment for patients with intraocular disease and patients with postlaminar optic nerve invasion (PLβONI) without full choroidal or scleral invasion. Adjuvant chemotherapy (Regimen 1) was given to patients
