These are of three types- beta-endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins, binds to mu, kappa, delta receptors found on immune cells and nervous system. Beta-endorphins is the most abundant endorphin synthesized and stored in the anterior pituitary gland. It has got various activities such as Immune stimulatory activity, anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity, stress buster, and anti-aging activity. Immune stimulatory activity by activation of NK cells, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, anti-inflammatory activity by production of cytokines, such as IL-18, 1L-10, analgesic activity by inhibiting substance-p, anti-ageing by suppressing ROS, RNS, free radicals and lengthening telomeres, stress buster activity by decreasing cortisol and nor-adrenaline, dopamine release involved in holistic, preventive, promotive, therapeutic and palliative treatment of cancer without any adverse affects and inexpensive.

Evidence is provided that physical exercise, mainly short-term strength (HIIT [High-Intensity Interval Training]) and aerobic training, contributes to increased expectation and quality of life in cancer survivors.

In pregnancy, hyperglycosylated hCG drives placental cell growth and invasion in implantation of pregnancy. It also blocks apoptosis. Human cancer cells steal the hCG AŸ-subunit gene and use hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit to drive malignancy. Here we examine research into hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit, and show that these molecules drive malignancy in most or possibly all human cancers. Methods : Mouse monoclonal antibody B152was raised against intact hyperglycosylated hCG, batch C5. The antibody binds hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit but does not bind the hormone hCG or its subunits. Total hCG was measured using the Siemens Immulite hCG assay, hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit were measured using the antibody B152 assay. Results : Eight independent center show that the hCG AŸ-subunit produced by cancers promotes malignancy, enhances cancer cell growth, cancer cell invasion and blockage of apoptosis in cancers. A study of 42 choriocarcinoma cases shows that percentage hyperglycosylated hCG exactly correlates with weekly doubling rate of cancer. It is concluded that hyperglycosylated hCG drive malignancy in this cancer. In a study with 7 separate cancers it is shown that increasing concentrations of hyperglycosylated hCG enhance all cancers. Increasing concentration of monoclonal antibody B152. Hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit drives cancer growth, cancer invasion and blocks apoptosis in cancer cells. Antibody B152 suppressed cancer cell growth creating a non-malignant-like state (no growth, no invasion), with no cancer growth over a starting 70% confluency. Conclusions : Choriocarcinoma is an example of cancer driven in malignancy by hyperglycosylated hCG, cancer aggression (weekly doubling rate) exactly correlating with percent hyperglycosylated hCG. In examining cancers, antibody B152 suppresses malignancy totally halting cancer growth in 7 of 7 cancer. This confirms that only the antigens, hyperglycosylated hCG and its AŸ-subunit drives malignancy in cancer cases.","PeriodicalId":14957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90446745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its incidence increased over the last two decades in the Northern Africa. This study aimed to perform a comparison between epidemiological profiles of Pca in patients from two Maghreb countries (Algeria and Mauritania). This is a retrospective study carried out during 2014- 2016, on population of 124 cases including 64 Pca Algerian patients recorded in the Oncology Department of Saida hospital, the Urology Department of Oran University Hospital and 60 Pca Mauritanians patients recruited in the National Oncology Center and the Friendship Hospital in Nouakchott. For these Pca patiens of different ethnic origin, demographic characteristics were studied and biological monitoring of the tumor marker PSA (prostate specific antigen) was performed in medical biological analysis laboratories using the same methods of serum-PSA assay. The mean age was significantly different in both groups of Pca Algerian and Mauritanian patients (respectively 74 vs 70 years). No significant positive correlation between the age and the PSA, in both groups, was recorded (R = 0.00796 vs R = 0.127) ( p ˃ 0.05 ). The mean serum- PSA levels were 156.5 ± 76.4 ( Pca Algerians) and 179.3 ± 52.1 ng / mL (Pca Mauritanians). Histological evidence was obtained in 54.6 % (Pca Algerians) and 23.3 % (Pca Mauritanian patients). 15 Pca Patients with metastatic tumor stage and 17 cases of death were found.

The present review focusses on the introduction of 177 Lu as a promising modality for tumor diagnosis and therapy in widespread metastases . Being a shorter I²-range emitter providing better irradiation of smaller tumor volumes, 177 Lu- based PRRT is being increasingly used in patients with somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors. Clinical trials with 177 Lu–DOTATATE and 177 Lu–DOTATOC have gained considerable interest in recent years with successful tumor regression in patients with malignant metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Especially, therapy with 177 Lu-DOTATATE PRRT has reported to significantly improve the quality of life of Gastroenteropancreatic NET patients because of higher affinity of DOTATATE for the somatostatin type 2 receptors. In addition, this review also sheds light on the diagnostic and palliative aspects of 177 Lu which also serves to be an attractive candidate for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for radiation synovectomy of small to medium sized joints. Enlisting all the said features, 177 Lu is strongly emerging as a promising theranostic agent that could possibly endow Nuclear Medicine an edge over other conventional therapies in near future.","PeriodicalId":14957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Analytical Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89755796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
