Disease relevance of Tumor Burden

  • OBJECTIVE--To determine if African-American men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer (PC) have higher pretreatment serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values after adjustment for clinical stage, age, and tumor grade, and to determine if any difference detected is related to tumor volume difference [1].
  • The presence of regional metastases or large primary tumor burden resulted in a further sharp fall in IL generation (0.9 and 10% for IL-1 and IL-2, respectively, when compared to control animals; P less than .01) [2].
  • These studies suggest that measurement of the 100K MAA may be useful in monitoring tumor burden in patients with malignant melanoma [3].
  • Although intramuscular cachectin/TNF-secreting tumors caused similar increases of serum h-cachectin/TNF levels, profound anorexia did not develop; wasting developed after a longer period of tumor burden (50 d) with classical signs of cachexia (i.e., anemia and depletion of both protein and lipid) [4].
  • Celecoxib treatment initiating before polyposis (3.5-10 months) led to a dramatic reduction in tumor burden (86%) and was associated with decreased vascularity of the polyps [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Tumor Burden

 

High impact information on Tumor Burden

  • Monitoring of the serum M component showed a predominantly stable tumor load without apparent interaction between the underlying disease and the response to erythropoietin therapy [7].
  • The PAP concentration was elevated in only 57 of the patients with cancer and correlated less closely with tumor volume [8].
  • Multiple tumor burden in Ovca1 heterozygotes that were also p53 deficient was significantly higher than in p53 homozygous mutants [9].
  • A single injection of rDCs following allogeneic BMT controlled the ability of the transplanted T cells to induce acute GVHD and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect in the recipients bearing leukemia, and that resulted in protection from the lethality caused by acute GVHD and tumor burden [10].
  • Elevated PSA value was a surrogate for larger tumor volume in this cohort of black men [1].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Tumor Burden

 

Biological context of Tumor Burden

 

Anatomical context of Tumor Burden

  • However, patients with K-ras mutations had a significantly higher mean bone marrow tumor burden at diagnosis than patients with no ras mutations (57% v 36%, P < .02); and the median survival of patients with a K-ras mutation was significantly shorter (2.0 v 3.7 years, P < .02) [21].
  • A cytoreductive pretreatment with cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2, and prednisone 60 mg/m2, each for 5 days was recommended in study B-NHL83 for patients with high white blood cell (WBC) count (> 2,500/m2) or large tumor burden and was obligatory for all patients in study B-NHL86 [22].
  • Furthermore, CD123(+) dendritic cells, major producers of IFN-alpha, were significantly diminished in SzS patients, regardless of the level of tumor burden [23].
  • Because, in the 5TGM1 model, blockade of osteoclastic resorption in other situations does not decrease tumor burden, we conclude that MIP-1alpha exerts a dual effect in myeloma, on osteoclasts, and tumor cells [24].
  • Our results suggest that increasing angiogenesis from MGUS to NMM is, at least in part, explained by increasing tumor burden rather than increased expression of VEGF/bFGF by individual plasma cells [25].
 

Associations of Tumor Burden with chemical compounds

  • The efficacy of the treatment regimen depended on the presence of a large tumor burden, and the response was abolished when the mice were preirradiated or treated with the immunosuppressive agent, cyclophosphamide [26].
  • Adriamycin alone at 5 mg/kg resulted in an eventual tumor of 70 percent of the control value at death, whereas at 2mg/kg the tumor volume was 60 percent of control [27].
  • In addition, the LGD1069 and tamoxifen combination was associated with a statistically significant decrease in total tumor burden (two-sided P =.03) [28].
  • Injections of 17beta-estradiol valerate (0.1 mg/wk) from day 1 or of DBcAMP from day 22 resulted in insignificant changes in growth--28% and 35% increases in tumor volume and a 5% decrease and an 18% increase, respectively, in drained wet weight [29].
  • Plasma glucose levels decreased with tumor burden [18].
 

Gene context of Tumor Burden

  • By contrast, in TLR4-deficient mice, there was no difference in tumor volume between the two treatment groups [30].
  • This study was designed to determine whether COX-2 inhibition would reduce tumor burden in Lkb1(+/-) mice or Peutz-Jeghers patients [5].
  • In a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) background, median lung tumor count in Nf-E2(-/-), Par4(-/-), and Fib(-/-) mice was 6%, 14%, and 24% of wild type, respectively; total tumor burden was only 4%, 9%, and 3% of wild type, respectively [31].
  • The synergy seen in combination IL-2 and TNF therapy appeared to be dependent upon tumor burden, but somewhat independent of tumor location [32].
  • The decrease in tumor [(18)F]FLT uptake correlated with the PCNA-labeling index (r = 0.71, P = 0.031) and tumor volume changes after 5-FU treatment (r = 0.58, P = 0.001) [33].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tumor Burden

  • Two types of response were observed: For Cy and Dx, the response of the xenografts was negatively correlated with tumor volume doubling time (TD), indicating that rapidly growing tumors were more sensitive to these drugs than were slowly growing tumors [34].
  • The reduction in tumor weights after treatment with SB-75, D-Trp6-LH-RH, D-Trp6-LH-RH plus tamoxifen, or ovariectomy was 84%, 64%, 33%, and 67%, respectively [35].
  • CR was determined by hematological analysis, tumor burden was examined with real-time quantitative RT-PCR of the PML-RAR alpha (promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor alpha) fusion transcripts, and side effects were evaluated by means of clinical examinations [36].
  • Reduced tumor load in peripheral blood after treatment with G-CSF and chemotherapy in children with tumors of the Ewing sarcoma family but not neuroblastoma [37].
  • The antitumor effect of 1.0 microgram/kg BW OCT (mean +/- SEM of tumor weight in 10 mice: 44 +/- 6% of vehicle-treated group) was greater than that of 500 micrograms/kg BW Adriamycin (71 +/- 6% of control group) [38].
