    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Beobachtungen der „geographischen Pathologie” haben gezeigt, daß verschiedene Krebslokalisationen in verschiedenen Teilen der Erde mit teilweise extrem unterschiedlicher Häufigkeit auftreten. Dafür werden Ein flüsse der Umwelt bei den betrachteten Populationen verantwortlich gemacht. Lebensgewohnheiten, Sitten und Gebräuche bestimmen somit nicht nur das Krebsrisiko, sondern auch den Organbefall. Neben den bereits bekannten und gleichsam schon „historischen” Cancerogenen, wie z. B. höheren polycyclischen Aromaten oder aromatischen Aminen, wird in Gegenwart und Zukunft folgenden Problemen Bedeutung geschenkt werden müssen: 1. „Natürlich” vorkommende Carcinogene, z. B. in Pflanzen oder Mycotoxinen, 2. Pränatale Gefährdung durch Carcinogene, die transplancentar auf den Embryo einwirken, und 3. potentiell Carcinogene Arzneimittel, deren Kenntnis für den Arzt besonders wichtig erscheint. Instruktive Beispiele für diese drei Problemkreise werden aufgezeigt. Nach dem Stand unseres heutigen Wissens muß angenommen werden, daß die überwiegende Mehrzahl der Malignome durch exogene chemische Carcinogene bedingt ist.
    Notes: Summary Oberservations made in “geographical pathology” have shown that the various cancer sites seem to be affected with markedly different frequency in the various parts of the world. One assumes that the effects of environment on a particular population is responsible for this. Modes of life, habits and customs determine not only the cancer risk but also the organ that is likely to be affected. In addition to the already known and more or less “historical” cancerogens, such as for instance the polycyclic aromates or aromatic amines, we have now and in the future also to give some attention to the following problems: 1. “Naturally-occurring” carcinogens, for instance those originating in plants or as mycotoxins. 2. Pre-natal danger from carcinogens which can affect the embryo through the placenta and 3. potentially carcinogenous drugs, a knowledge of which seems specially important to the physician. Instructive examples of these three groups are given. According to the state of our knowledge to-day, one has to assume that the overwhelming majority of malignant tumours are caused by exogenous chemical carcinogens.

    Notes: Summary We analyzed the results of clinical studies on the therapeutic efficacy of hormone monotherapy with tamoxifen, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and aminoglutethimide in metastatic breast cancer, which were published between 1971 and 1986 and involved altogether 7000 patients. The overall response rates in patients treated with these hormonal single agents at various dose levels ranged from 31%–42%. When only estrogen receptor-positive patients were considered, the response rates lay between 41% and 54% in groups which were treated with the antiestrogenic agents tamoxifen or aminoglutethimide. The duration of remission was 12 months for tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated women, whereas medroxy-progesterone acetate effected remissions lasting from 6–16 months. The overall mean survival from start of therapy in tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated groups was 20 months, whereas information concerning this therapeutic parameter was available only in a minority of medroxyprogesterone acetate-treated groups. With respect to the response by site of metastatic lesions, all three agents caused a significantly higher degree of remissions in the soft tissue as compared to visceral disease.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary This paper presents an alternative view to a commonly held misconception. The extent to which the causes of human cancer can be known is less than generally believed on the basis of the formal summation of estimates on the causal role of certain carcinogenic factors that have been tabulated by Doll and Peto (1981). Here it is stressed that the factors with known causal relation in the etiology have not as yet been ascertained for up to 97% of human cancers. Currently only one-third of the cancer deaths registered in the Federal Republic of Germany can be assigned etiologically to known exogenous carcinogenic agents or lifestyle. Accordingly, the causes of less than 50% of all malignant neoplasms are known and amenable to direct causal primary prevention. This, however, does not preclude a concept of “indirect primary prevention” which, based on the probable summation of subcarcinogenic effects of single carcinogens, enables removal from the environment of compounds that show carcinogenicity in animals, even if these compounds lack epidemiological evidence of carcinogenic activity.

    Notes: Summary The activity of the newly synthesized ruthenium derivative imidazolium-bis(imidazole)tetrachlororuthenate (III) [ImH(RuIm2Cl4)] was compared with that of 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5′dFUR) in autochthonous acetoxymethyl-methylnitrosamine (AMMN)-induced colorectal cancer in SD rats. Following coloscopic diagnosis of colorectal tumors treatment was administered twice weekly for a 10-week period. ImH(RuIm2Cl4) exhibited considerable antitumoral efficacy compared with 5′dFUR (20 T/C % and 60 T/C %, respectively) against the growth of AMMN-induced colorectal adenocarcinoma in SD rats. The mortality rates with ImH(RuIm2Cl4) were dose-related, but its efficacy did not vary in all doses administered.

    Notes: Summary This methodological study describes three surgical prodedures for locoregional and systemic drug administration, which are based on a similar experimental design. Cannulation of the arterial and portal access to the liver in comparison to the general venous system, and arterial access to the large intestine through a permanently implantable system, suitable for serial bolus injections and infusions in unrestrained rats, is presented (experiment I). Furthermore, an infusion system for longterm administration (experiment II) and a method for blood sampling during locoregional or systemic infusion procedures (experiment III) have been developed. The positioning and free flow of the catheters were checked by means of scintigraphy, administration of fluorescein under UV light and angiography in animals of experimental series I. After 7 days, no obstruction was detected. On day 15 and 30 following implantation 73.3% and 58.3% of the animals, respectively, showed unimpeded flow through the catheter system. The methods described here were well tolerated by the animals without alteration of their general condition and are currently in use in a series of chemotherapeutic and pharmacokinetic investigations.

    Notes: Summary Bis-β-diketonato complexes of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium were tested against autochthonous colorectal tumors in rats. The model was found to reflect the clinical situation most closely. of the compounds tested, budotitane was the most effective in terms of decrease in tumor weight and number and in increasing the lifespan of the treated animals. The therapeutic efficiency was superior to that of 5-fluorouracil, which so far has been the drug with the best activity in patients suffering from colon cancer.

    Notes: Summary The anticancer activity of melphalan andN-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-ω-lysine (CNC-ω-Lys), was compared in the autochthonous, methylnitrosourea-induced mammary carcinoma of the Sprague-Dawley rat. In addition, the influence on the therapeutic efficacy of the combination with diazoxide, causing a mild, reversible diabetes, and with insulin was investigated. The comparison of melphalan and CNC-ω-Lys clearly showed the superiority of melphalan. Both compounds displayed a significant tumour inhibition in their medium and the highest dosages in comparison to the untreated control. The combination with diazoxide resulted for almost all groups in an increased tumour inhibition. Only the lowest dose of CNC-ω-Lys + diazoxide did not reduce the tumour volume significantly versus the control group. The combination with insulin, however, resulted in a loss of tumour inhibition compared to the effect of the cytotoxic drug alone, although in these groups, too, a significant decrease of tumour volumes versus controls could be observed. Mortality was within tolerable limits (〈20%) through the treatment period for all experimental groups. Median lifespans were increased in all therapy groups, but no additional benefit could be observed in the combination treatment groups.
