Poster Presentation - Reactive carbonyl compounds of protein in patients’ blood after surgical treatment of breast cancer



Abstract
Introduction. The problem of breast cancer (BC) is one of the important and complicated in oncology. In this aspect, there is a significant amount of interest in the study of oxidative processes, since their disorders can act as one of the pathogenetic factors of carcinogenesis.

Aim of the study. To study the Reactive carbonyl compounds of proteins (RCCs) in plasma and in erythrocytes of blood of the BC patients after surgical treatment.

Materials and methods. The blood of 20 women with BC was examined, which have I-IIIa stages after surgical treatment in the volume of radical resection or radical mastectomy performed at the first stage of treatment. The control group consisted of practically healthy women (n = 15). The level RCCs in erythrocytes and in blood plasma was determined by the method of Levine R.L et al. (1990).

Results of the study. In erythrocytes of BC patients with I stage, there was a slight decrease in the percentage of RCCs. At the same time, an increase of RCCs was observed in II stage BC patients (by 50% compared to control, p <0.05). The level of RCCs in erythrocytes of BC patient’s blood with III stage was 2 times lower than the control. In blood plasma of BC patients with I stage the significant increase in RCCs was observed (3 times compared with the control). In BC patients with II stage, this indicator exceeded control by 70-75% (p <0.05), whereas in patients with III stage of BC, the content of RCCs did not differ significantly from control.

Conclusions. These data suggest the development of carbonyl stress in the body of BC patients. Surgical removal of the tumor in breast cancer does not eliminate the conditions for the oxidative modification of proteins.

Poster Presentation - Influence of NECC (Nutrition and Exercise Center for Cancer Patients) on survival and body composition in Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients

Abstract BACKGROUND : Gastrointestinal cancer patients are particularly predisposed to develop cancer cachexia. Cachectic patients are characterized by loss of adipose tissue as well as skeletal muscle wasting which has a tremendous impact on quality of life and survival (1, 4). In terms of improvement for this multifactorial syndrome, Klinikum rechts der Isar (MRI) in Munich, Germany has founded NECC, a treatment concept including nutrition intervention and an individual training program. METHODS : In this study we focused on patients with pancreatic (n =15) and upper gastrointestinal cancer (n = 21). Body composition using CT images was analyzed initially, 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after initial visit of NECC (Image 1). To underline the outcome, NECC patients were matched to adequate partners who correspond in age, gender, diagnosis with TNM classification and type of surgery. The control group does not receive any further support concerning nutrition and physical exercise...

Past Conference Report - Cancer Research

With great support from our Collaborators and Organizing Committee, PULSUS Conferences successfully completed the “Cancer 2018” which was held at Edinburgh, Scotland on March 26-27, 2018. We would like to thank our Keynote Speakers for the conference - Hiroshi Kobayashi , Chiba University, Japan, William T. Beck , University of Illinois, USA, Shalini Gupta , King George Medical College, India, Antonio Gomez-Munoz , University Of The Basque Country, Spain, Barbara DeVivo , Westmont University, USA. for their support in making this event a great success. We would like to extend our thanks to our collaborators “ Sudanese Medical Research Association ”, “ Uganda Cancer Society ” and “ Pharmaceutical Society of Uganda ” for their constant support.
