CEA, TPA, CA 15-3 were assayed in 238 patients in follow-up for breast cancer after surgery. CA 15-3 showed the best sensitivity and specificity; the predictive value of a positive CA 15-3 test was three times higher than CEA and TPA. No association was found between marker positivity and the number of organs involved by metastases. CA 15-3 positivity was significantly associated with visceral rather than soft tissue recurrences; no significant similar association was observed for CEA and TPA. CA 15-3 serum levels were early predictors of relapse in four out of nine patients within a 6-12 month follow-up period.

History Of

The significance of argyrophilia in human breast cancer is still a controversial issue. We tested immunohistochemically 10 cases of argyrophilic carcinomas of the breast and found evidence of immunoreactivity with neuroendocrine markers: chromogranin, NSE, gastrin, insulin and bombesin. Argyrophilia was demonstrated in breast cancers of the usual types and was found to be related to the secretory activity of neoplastic cells. Unfortunately, no adequate follow-up data are available to clarify the natural history of argyrophilic breast cancer. A clinical treatment different from that of conventional breast cancer is not at present justified.

Type Particle

We have reported the maturation of an intracisternal A-type particle in murine plasma cell tumor cultures and three human tumor cell cultures (rhabdomyosarcoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and osteogenic sarcoma) after IUDR-DMSO activation. In all of these studies the A-type particle seems to develop into a form with an electron dense nucleoid, presumably mature, which is also intracisternal. A similar intracisternal A-type particle has been described in leukemic guinea pigs. Although no biological activity has yet been demonstrated for these particles, on morphologic grounds, and by the manner in which they develop within the cell, they may represent members of the same family of viruses.

Metastatic Nodule

Since the report, which described the ultrastructure of a metastatic nodule of human breast cancer after estrogen therapy, additional ultrastructural observations, including some which are correlative with pertinent findings in the literature concerning mycoplasmas, have been recorded concerning the same subject. Specimen preparation was identical to that in.The mitochondria possessed few cristae, and were deteriorated and vacuolated. They often contained particulates and fibrous structures, sometimes arranged in spindle-shaped bundles, Fig. 1. Another apparent aberration was the occurrence, Fig. 2 (arrows) of linear profiles of what seems to be SER, which lie between layers of RER, and are often recognizably continuous with them.It was noted that the structure of the round bodies, interpreted as within autophagic vacuoles in the previous communication, and of vesicular bodies, described morphologically closely resembled those of some mycoplasmas. Specifically, they simulated or reflected the various stages of replication reported for mycoplasmas grown on solid nutrient. Based on this observation, they are referred to here as “mycoplasma-like” structures, in anticipation of confirmatory evidence from investigations now in progress.
