Is endoscopic submucosal resection with a ligation device an effective and safe treatment for carcinoid tumors in the lower rectum?
In a large number of cases, ESMR-L proved to be a useful and safe procedure to resect rectal carcinoid tumors 10 mm or less in diameter, especially for those located in the Rb.
Plumbagin inhibited tumour angiogenesis and tumour growth by interference with the VEGFR2-mediated Ras signalling pathway in endothelial cells. Our findings demonstrate a molecular basis for the effects of plumbagin and suggest that this compound might have therapeutic ant-tumour effects.
