    Notes: [Auszug] In 1960, Nowell and Hungerford discovered a shortened chromosome 22, designated the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML)1. This chromosomal aberration, which is now considered the cytogenetic hallmark of the disease, results from a reciprocal translocation between ...

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Dans les mélanomes malins, les principales possibilités thérapeutiques, chirurgie, radiothérapie, chimiothérapie, immunothérapie, ont des indications bien précises. Aucune n'est, à elle seule, capable de guérir ou d'apporter une palliation valable dans tous les sous-groupes de mélanomes. Il faut donc utiliser fréquemment des thérapeutiques combinées. La chirurgie est particuliérement utile pour la tumeur primitive, pour les récidives locales et pour les métastases régionales. Les résultats de la chimiothérapie ne sont guère encourageants. L'agent le plus actif, le DTIC, ne donne que quelques 20% de réponses lorsqu'il est utilisé isolément, et guère mieux lorsqu'il est associé à d'autres drogues. Mais la chimiothérapie par perfusion régionale, lorsqu'elle est combinée à l'excision de la tumeur primitive dans le traitement des mélanomes ou des récidives de mélanomes des membres, donne près de 85% de guérisons pour les malades au stade I et 50% pour les stades II. L'immunothérapie parait efficace pour la tumeur primitive et l'injection intralésionnelle de BCG dans les métastases cutanées ou sous-cutanées donne 50% de réponses favorables. Pour être efficaces, les thérapeutiques combinées devraient tenir compte de l'histoire naturelle et de l'évolution de la maladie. Le traitement classique est basé sur la chirurgie, suivie de chimio-ou d'immunothérapie. Mais on obtiendrait peut-être de meilleurs résultats en modifiant la séquence des modalités thérapeutiques. Des recherches devraient être poursuivies dans ce sens.
    Notes: Abstract The major modalities of therapy, namely, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, are each of value in selected cases of malignant melanoma. However, because none of these therapies, alone, is capable of curing or controlling some subgroups of melanoma patients, combined modality therapy needs to be used more extensively. Surgery is of particular value in the treatment of primary tumors and in recurrent or regional metastatic disease. Chemotherapy for malignant melanoma has been disappointing. The most active single agent, DTIC, induces only about a 20% response rate, and little or no significant improvement is seen when DTIC is combined with other agents. However, chemotherapeutic agents when utilized by isolation perfusion in the treatment of primary or recurrent melanoma of the extremities, in conjunction with surgical excision of the primary tumor, produce cure rates of approximately 85% in patients with stage I disease and 50% in those with stage II disease. Immunotherapy appears to be of significant value in primary melanoma, and intra-lesional BCG immunotherapy of cutaneous or subcutaneous metastatic lesions has yielded a 50% response rate. Successful combined modality therapy would take into account the natural history and course of the disease. Conventional therapy consists of surgery as primary therapy, followed by chemo- or immunotherapy. Further research is needed to determine if better results can be achieved by altering the sequence of utilization of the various treatment modalities.

    Notes: Summary A study was made of immunologic parameters obtained from patients with stage IIIB malignant melanoma who were treated with BCG. Patients with the longest disease-free interval and survival times were those who had small initial skin test reactions and developed larger reactions during the course of BCG treatment. Of these patients, those with less than five involved nodes had the longest disease-free interval and survival times. Patients who had increases in skin test reactivity generally showed these increases by the first visit after initiation of BCG therapy.

    Notes: Summary The current status of therapy with the methanol extraction residue of BCG (MER) is reviewed. We have identified 41 evaluable clinical trials of MER therapy, involving approximately 3,000 patients with malignant disease. The diagnoses have included lung, colon, and breast cancer, malignant melanoma, acute leukemia, and a small number of other malignancies. MER has been used as an adjunct to therapy for advanced disease and as prophylaxis against recurrence after surgery. Most studies have used the intradermal route but subcutaneous, intralesional, and intravenous routes have also been explored. The major local toxicity is pain and sterile abscess formation. The major systemic toxicity with administration by the intravenous route includes fever, malaise, and the development of pulmonary infiltrates. With the intradermal route little activity has been observed and there is no confirmed example of an increased remission rate, remission duration, or survival induced by MER therapy. When given by the intralesional route MER can cause regression of metastatic malignant melanoma nodules, and when given by the intravenous route MER is a potent immunoadjuvant. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and natural killer cell activity were both boosted after one dose of intravenous MER. In rare patients receiving either intradermal or intravenous MER alone, without other therapy, tumor regression has been noted. These cases have included gastrointestinal cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia. Overall, the data indicate that the future of therapy with mycobacterial fractions awaits the development of more potent, less toxic fractions that can be administered systemically.

    Notes: Summary Partially pure immune (gamma) interferon (IFN-gamma) was administered to patients intramuscularly (IM), by rapid IV bolus, and by 6-h continuous infusion as part of a phase I clinical trial. The activity of 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase (2,5 A) in peripheral blood cells and the concentration of beta-2 microglobulin (B-2M) in serum were monitored as indicators of interferon biological activity in vivo. Five patients received IFN-gamma by the IM route in doses ranging from 6.5×105 to 9.6×106 antiviral units daily. There was little induction either of serum B-2M or of 2,5A in peripheral blood cells. Eight patients received IFN-gamma by rapid (5 min) IV bolus infusion in doses ranging from 6.5×105 to 54×106 antiviral units daily. As with IM administration, there was little significant induction of 2,5A synthetase, but the concentration of B-2M was increased above pretherapy values in most patients. Eleven patients received IFN-gamma by 6-h infusion daily for 10 days at a dosage of 27×106 units/day. In contrast to IM and IV bolus administration, 6-h infusion of IFN-gamma resulted in significant induction of both B-2M serum concentration and of 2,5A activity in all patients. The induction of 2,5A was highest on days 2 and 4 of therapy and decreased to pretherapy values by day 7. During the second 10-day course of the infusion study 2,5A activity was not induced until day 7 of therapy, and it decreased rapidly thereafter. These studies show clearly that consistent biological activity such as B-2M activation and specific intracellular biochemical events such as 2,5A induction may be optimally obtained by the administration of IFN-gamma by continuous IV infusion.
