Preoperative cytological and histological diagnosis of breast lesions: A critical review | |
| BACKGROUND: Non-operative pathology diagnoses constitute an essential part of the work-up of breast lesions. With fine needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy (CNB) both having unique advantages, there is an increasing acceptance of CNB. This paper | |||

Phase II study of NGR-hTNF, a selective vascular targeting agent, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of standard therapy | |
| BACKGROUND: NGR-hTNF consists of human tumour necrosis factor (hTNF) fused with the tumour-homing peptide Asp-Gly-Arg (NGR), which is able to selectively bind an aminopeptidase N overexpressed on tumour blood vessels. Preclinical antitumour activity was o | |||
