Hypothesis This study was designed to evaluate prospectively oncological factors determining
survival after resection of tumors of the papilla, comparing local and radical oncological …

We have investigated the expression of cyclin D1 in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and
the relevance of cyclin D1 expression to clinical outcome. In comparison to normal pancreas, …

Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is associated with the worst survival of any form of
gastrointestinal malignancy. In spite of the progress in surgical treatment, resulting in increasing …

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that various tumors express enhanced
levels of the radical scavenger glutathione (GSH). Moreover, there are grounds for claiming …
