Abstract
The authors investigated the PSA concentration and the preoperative prostate volume of 113 histologically proved BPH and 31 prostate cancer patients. There was no correlation between the age of the patients and the volume of the prostate. Whereas, correlation was proved between the marker concentration and the prostate volume (p < 0.0001). The prostate volume and the PSA concentration ratio correlated between the BPH and tumorous patients (PSA density). The difference was highly significant (p < 0.001). The use of PSAD improves further the diagnostical value of PSA.

Abstract
In this study, the activity of the glutathione related enzymes, namely glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GSSG-R), Selenium-dependent and -independent glutathione peroxidase (GPX) of various TGC tumors (n = 18) obtained from untreated patients, was compared to that of the corresponding enzymes of normal testicular tissues (n = 5). The enzymes of all tumorous tissues except teratomas were significantly less active, than the corresponding enzymes of nontumorous tissues. The GST was in seminomas 4.3-20-, in embryonal carcinomas 47-, and in mixed tumors 13-47-fold less active than in the normal testes. The GST activity of teratomas was about half of that of the normal tissues. The Se-independent GPX, component of GST alfa class, comprised about 90 percent of the total GPX activity in normal testis; however it was absent or barely detectable in all TGC tumors except teratomas. The latter had about the same GPX activity as the tumor-free testicular tissues. Apart from the teratoma, the GSSG-R activity of all TGC tumors was also suppressed to about one third of that of the normal testis. The insufficient function of glutathione related enzymes of TGC tumors may contribute to their sensitivity against treatment. The poorer prognosis of teratomas, however, may be explained by the relatively higher activity of their detoxifying enzymes.

Abstract
The authors describe the evidence and results obtained in 21 out of 100 patients who underwent salvage retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for advanced testicular cancer (UICC stage II/B bulky and stage III) in the period 1982-1993, and in whom inductive chemotherapy was not followed by marker conversion. It is stated that if AFP positivity is low (titres below 100 ng/ml) salvage retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (RLA) is of high therapeutic value, whereas in all cases with HCG positivity or AFP titres higher than 500 ng/ml tumorous death ensued without exception. In our cases viable tumour residues occurred in 81%. Salvage resection was feasible in 76%, but every incomplete resection (19%) was followed by death due to tumour. In all but one of the cases marker positivity, an indicator of therapy-resistant viable tumour residues, persisted after having used more than four PVB combinations or changes in the chemotherapeutic regimen.

Abstract
The most frequently reported alteration of multidrug-resistant cells is overexpression of a 170 kD glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein or P-170) encoding by the MDR1 gene family. Expression of the multidrug-resistance gene product P-glycoprotein was screened in 55 untreated human germ cell testicular tumors using monoclonal antibody (C219) and immunoenzyme staining. In samples out of 17 seminomatous germ cell testicular tumors (SGCT) 2 seminomas, and out of 38 non-seminomatous tumors (NSGCT) 20 carcinomas (15 teratomas, 4 embryonal carcinomas, 1 with Yolk sac differentiation and 1 embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma) showed high expression of P-glycoprotein. NSGCT-s, which are more refractory than seminomas to anticancer chemotherapy, frequently expressed P-glycoprotein. These immunohistochemically detected elevated P-170 expressions were correlated by the overexpression of MDR1 mRNA gene sequences. A relationship between clinical resistance and P-glycoprotein expression seems thus to exist in 4 teratomas 3 embryonal carcinomas, and 1 seminomas. A significant correlation (p < 0.02) between P-170 expression and clinical drug resistance in stage II-III germ cell testicular tumors could be demonstrated. The results suggest that a multidrug resistant phenotype may also occur and P-glycoprotein might contribute to drug resistance in testicular tumors.

Abstract
The authors compared the effectivity of doxycyclin or ofloxacin after combined chemotherapy of testicular cancer patients during the leukopenic periods. Between 1988 and 1991 200 patients were randomized and 194 were evaluated. One hundred and fifty two patients had been treated by cytostatic treatment earlier 2.5 or 2.9 times and 17 by irradiation. The average age was 30.1 in the doxycyclin group and 31.5 years in ofloxacin group. The patients characteristics in average age and previous treatments were not significant in the two groups. Doxycyclin was applied at the first day 200 mg and the following days 100 mg for 6.8 days and ofloxacin was given 2 times 100 mg day for 8.0 days. The preventive antibiotic treatment was insufficient in 16 or 6 cases requiring the the new antibiotic therapy. The development of the new infectional lesions was significantly higher in doxycyclin group and it needed the other antibiotic therapy. The condition of the patients did not require systemic antimycotic or antiviral therapy. The toxicity was lower in oflaxacin group. Tarivid is suitable for preventing the infection in neutropenic periods after the cytostatic therapy. The number of infections are decreased the completion with some penicillins. Regarding to previous cytostatic drugs the cephalosporins are suggested for prevention during the neutropenic periods.

Abstract
Between the period of 1981 and 1991 at the National Institute of Oncology 1300 patients suffering from non-seminoma testicular cancer were treated by chemotherapy. Among them 19 cases of femoral head necrosis, one side or bilateral, were observed. Authors collected and compared the data of 16 patients of osteonecrosis and 28 without it. The aim of the study was the determination of the causes of osteonecrosis and searching for possible relation between antineoplastic therapy and osteoporosis. High alcohol consumption was found in 15 cases in the osteonecrotic group, versus one among the others. Bone mineral content measurement was performed by quantitative computed tomography. Average ages at the time of densitometry: osteonecrotic group 39.17, patients without osteonecrosis 33.91. The relative bone mineral content was found 65.94% in the osteonecrosis (A) group and 77.92% in the group without osteonecrosis. A significant difference was found in the level of serum calcium and the steroid dose applied during chemotherapy.

Abstract
One hundred fifty children of 113 fathers with testicular tumour treated from 1979 on the National Institute of Oncology, Budapest, were studied. Three groups were formed on the basis of the time of conception; 69 children were born before the illness of the fathers, 40 during the 12 pretreatment months, and 41 during or after combined chemotherapy. One hundred fifty control children underwent tonsillectomy/appendectomy, but were otherwise healthy. They were matched according to age, sex, and place of inhabitance with index children. Family anamnesis, perinatal, and gestational data were listed; thereafter, physical, laboratory, immunological, and, if required, radiological examinations were made. No difference was detectable in the somatic and psychiatric status of the three groups, and development was well balanced, corresponding to age. Protocols of the combined chemotherapy applied, and the incidence of anomalies, abnormalities, malignancies, and other diseases was recorded. Incidence was similar in all three groups. Incidence of congenital malformations was not increased in children conceived before and after therapy; however, a complex congenital abnormality, an atrial septal defect with horseshoe kidney, occurred in one young girl, conceived after the end of her father's treatment. The interval between conception and the end of therapy was established in the case of children conceived either during or after therapy. This was shorter in the case of healthy children; the number of healthy children conceived during cytostatic treatment was also remarkable. Further detailed analysis of data and individual evaluation of case reports are recommended.

Abstract
Between 1 January 1980 and 31 December 1991 the authors treated 1450 patients with malignant testicular tumours. Out of them, in 42 patients aged 18-43 years with stage III non-seminoma germ cell testicular cancer, thoracic surgical interventions took place on 44 occasions since the combined cytostatic treatment did not result in a sufficient regression, or disease progression occurred. In one case the lesion was inoperable. In 43 cases successful resection was performed. In 27 cases unilateral, in two cases bilateral thoracotomy and in 15 cases median sternotomy took place. Solitary lesions were found in 26 and multiple ones in 18 cases, respectively. Two patients died in the direct postoperative phase. Forty patients were followed up for 4 to 130 months. Due to disease progression four and seven patients were lost within 12 and 12-24 months, respectively. Currently, 31 patients are alive 4 to 130 months following surgery (29 of them tumour-free, two with tumour). Based on adequate indications the thoracic surgery is justified both from diagnostic and therapeutic points of view. The metastasectomy might offer an advance in the management of these patients.

Abstract
Chromosomal aberrations were studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes from only surgery treated testicular cancer patients and treated with chemo- and/or radiotherapy. A distinct increase in spontaneous aberration frequency over the level of 27 healthy controls in 27 patients treated with surgery alone was found. Our data suggest the existence of a certain degree of chromosome instability, which may be a factor to the development of testicular tumour. The frequency of aberrant cells was much higher in 102 treated patients than in the controls. The decrease in aberrant cells was only time-dependently gradual in VPB and X-ray treated patients, while the second line combined treatment modalities caused the highest frequency of aberrant cells in the first two years after the end of courses. The possible relationship between the persistence of chromosomal aberrations and the development of malignancies are discussed in this paper.

Abstract
The antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 92 patients with germinal cell tumours and 60 healthy male controls was measured against 0, Rh(D) positive human red blood cells sensitized with anti-D antibody. To determine the maximal K-cell activity the enzym-like kinetic model of citotoxicity was employed in which maximal activity was measured in presence of target-cell excess. To avoid variation due to the individual sensitivity of target erythrocytes red blood cells were obtained from a single donor. It was demonstrated that compared to the control group the K-cell activity of patients with germinal cell tumours was significantly enhanced. Cytotoxic activity of patients with clinically detectable tumours was significantly higher than that of patients with no detectable tumour. The K-cell activity of patients with detectable tumours was significantly increased after chemotherapy.

Abstract
Chromosome aberrations were studied in peripheral blood lymphocytes from untreated testicular cancer patients and others treated with chemo- and/or radiotherapy. A distinct increase in spontaneous aberrations over the level of healthy controls was found in patients treated with surgery alone. Our data suggest the existence of a certain degree of chromosome instability which may be a factor in the development of malignancy for testicular tumours, too. The frequency of aberrant cells was much higher in treated groups than in controls, and the total of aberrations was therapy related. The frequency of aberrant cells was the highest in the first 2 years after the end of treatments similarly to the results of 3 serially examined individuals. The decrease in aberrant cells was time-dependently gradual only in X-ray-treated patients. Real conclusions about the nature of therapy-related persistence of aberrant cells can be drawn from the study of a sufficient number of testicular cancer patients studied more than 1 year after the end of treatments.

Abstract
The specific binding of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonist in estradiol-dependent MCF-7 and estradiol-independent MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells has been studied using [3H]Ovurelin [(D-3H-Phe6),des-Gly10-LH-RH- ethylamide]. The results of Scatchard analyses suggest the presence of a single class of receptor sites, both in cell suspensions and membrane fractions. Evaluation of these peptide receptors appears to reflect additional characteristics of biological behaviour of these human breast cancer cells. The synthetic LH-RH agonist Ovurelin [(D-Phe6),des-Gly10-LH-RH-ethylamide] can directly interfere (25-30%) with the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells in culture. The inhibitory effect of Ovurelin in vitro was negligible in the MCF-7 cell line. In the in vivo experiments the treated immunosuppressed mice bearing either MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 xenografts responded to the high-dose LH-RH analogue Zoladex depot and Decapeptyl depot therapy. Since the MDA-MB-231 tumour was found to be ER-negative it seems possible that the regression of this xenograft results from the direct antitumor action of the LH-RH agonist.

Abstract
The data of 1286 testis cancer persons were analyzed by the authors, which were identified in Hungary between 1981 and 1986. The comparison was carried out with international findings in this field. The incidence rate of testis tumor in Hungary reaches a value of 4.16/100,000 men/year, which seems to be quite near to the frequency of cases occurred in Northern-Europe. The patient's age was 32.9 year in the mean at the time of the diagnosis, and the age-specific incidence rate was the highest (11.2) between 25-34 years, according to international experiences. A significant difference was found in the frequency of testis cancer among 19 counties of Hungary. The extremely high testis cancer incidence in the county Vas (West-Hungary) requires further explanations. A seasonal pattern according to the patients birth months was shown, which did not correlate with data of other Hungarian authors concerning seasonal pattern of the undescendent testis.

Abstract
Chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges were examined in 45 patients with nonseminomatous testicular cancer at different times after the termination of vinblastine, cisplatin and bleomycin (VPB) therapy and in 22 age-matched healthy men and untreated testicular cancer patients. After 36 months, the frequency of unstable aberrations markedly decreased in peripheral blood lymphocytes of VPB-treated patients, however the persistence of aberrant cells even 75 months after the termination of treatment underlines the necessity of longer follow-up of VPB-treated patients in order to evaluate the relationship between their carcinogen sensitivity and the risk of second malignancies.

Abstract
The 5-year survival of patients with malignant testicular tumors rose during the past 25 years from 10-25% depending on stage to 55-100% after radical castration performed from high inguinal opening, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, ultra-tension irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy. It is stressed that patients diagnosed at stage T1-2, N0-2, M0 may even recover perfectly upon complex therapy. Three to five-year long or even longer survival may be reached with 50% of the patients at the stage T1-3, N1-3, M1. Patients at stage T4, N3-4, M1 die because of the recurrence of the tumor and/or the complication of the adjuvant treatment within 1-3 years and even the interdisciplinary work which is very effective in other stages fails to change this at the present time.

Abstract
Seven human testicular tumors were transplanted into artificially immunosuppressed mice. Two of them grew progressively (TT2 and TT6) and a serially transplantable line was developed from TT2. The xenografts maintained only the embryonal carcinoma components of originally mixed (embryonal cell carcinoma and choriocarcinoma) donor tumor. Although the histology did not change remarkably with passages, the xenografts lost their capacity to express human choriogonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein. The latency period shortened, the growth rate remained similar with subsequent transplantations. The tumor cells of the TT2 line presented the human character according to chromosome analysis and were built up of two subsets of cells with a different DNA index estimated by flow cytometry. The embryonal cell carcinoma line was highly sensitive to CY and cisDDP. PVB combination was also effective, although the tumor growth inhibition proved to be only temporary.

Abstract
The authors give a summarizing report about mitolactol treatments performed in Hungary. As a single-agent therapy the drug was administered in two forms: (1) every-day therapy, 5 mg/kg/day, (2) push therapy, 10 mg/kg every 5th day or 15 mg/kg every 7th day, in a total dose of 100 mg/kg in both administration forms. Out of the solid tumours the squamous cell cancers proved to be the most responsive to mitolactol therapy: first of all in tumours of the head and neck and of the lung. The study also reports the preliminary results of polychemotherapeutical protocols containing mitolactol now in progress: (1) bleomycin + mitolactol (Bristol protocol), (2) carminomycin + mitolactol and (3) adriamycin + mitolactol.

Abstract
By evaluating the results obtained in 50 patients the authors stated that VM-26 given in combination with Natulan and Prednisolone is a drug of value in the therapy of generalized Hodgkin's disease. It cause milder side effects than drugs previously used in combination therapy. Complete or partial remissions were obtained in 84% of patients treated. 75% of the therapy-resistant cases proved to be Hodgkin's sarcoma by the postmortem examination. Remission lasted longer in stage III than in stage IV and the previously untreated patients responded better than the treated one. Definite correlation could not be revealed between histologic type and duration of remission.
