Observations

Some academic, many “commercial” Profile similar between large community

hospitals and academic hospitals, except for initiating translational studies

Phase I-III and post-marketing The latter are often (masked) drug-pushing studies

Some increasing cross-center cooperation Which is very good

Very little non-drug research activity Surgical or radiotherapy

SurgeryPedicled Perforator Flaps

Since 1989, major advance for reconstructive surgery

Only skin and subcutaneous tissue is utilized for reconstruction of defects with preservation of fascia, muscles and nerves according to basic plastic surgical principle of ” replacing like with like “

Muscle left in its native place to serve its original function and minimize donor site morbidity

Steroidogenesis in postmenopausal women and site of action of STX64 (BN83495)

• Steroid sulfatase (STS) activity much higher than aromatase activity in breast tumors

• High levels of STS mRNA associated with a poor prognosis

• STS hydrolyzes steroid sulfates, such as estrone sulfate and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), to estrone and DHEA, which can be converted to steroids with potent estrogenic properties, that is, estradiol and androstenediol, respectively.

• The trial allows free drug access for all postmenopausal lymph node positive patients who are candidates for extended adjuvant treatment and who received an aromatase inhibitor within the first 5 years (and who consequently can not obtained a reimbursement for extended adjuvant treatment).
