Oncogenes, antioncogenes, and a hypothesis on cancer therapy, i.e. the origin of cancer, and the prevention of its activity.

Existing data indicates there is a set of genes--oncogenes--whose increased or abnormal expression causes cancer. Another set of genes--antioncogenes--control oncogene expression. Implied is that cancer is neither infectious nor contagious, i.e. one cannot catch cancer, and cancers are fundamentally similar. Fetal cells can be used instead of immunosuppressing drugs, regulate antigen-antibody action-reaction, and may be in some instances genetically wholesome. They, therefore may be useful to compensate for the immunological breakdown or deficiency which results in active cancer.

[Value of endoscopic ovarian surgery--critical analysis of 626 pelviscopically operated ovarian cysts at the Kiel University Gynecologic Clinic 1990-1991].

During 1990-1991, 626 cystic ovarian tumours measuring > 3 cm diameter were treated endoscopically at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Kiel. In 97 patients, either ovariectomy or adnexectomy, and in 529 cases, an ovarian cyst enucleation was performed. In every case, we considered clinical laboratory, pre-examinations as well as a vaginal ultrasound examination to be of extreme importance for our decision. In 1990, we changed 18 times from pelviscopy to laparotomy and in 1991 7 times under the visual impression of an ovarian malignant tumour. The diagnosis was verified 8 times in 1990 and 3 times in 1991. 10 times in 1990 and 4 times in 1991, the patients were laparotomised with benign ovarian tumours, whose form and motility did not indicate laparotomy at the beginning. No case of ovarian cancer was endoscopically biopsied in 1990-1991. Details on the treatment of patients, their brief hospitalisation period and quick reintegration into family and professional life speak for the applied operation technique.

Analysis of the oncogene hypothesis.

Cancer may be a natural biological event commencing at birth. Its activity is dependent upon the absence of an anti cancer gene agent or agents which are also present from birth.

Illness after influenza vaccination reported through a nationwide surveillance system, 1976-1977.

In 1976, the Center for Disease Control coordinated nationwide surveillance for illnesses after influenza vaccination as part of an effort to vaccinate the nation against influenza A/New Jersey/76. For the 48,161,019 persons vaccinated in 1976, a total of 4733 reports of illness were received which included reports of 223 deaths. When Guillain-Barré syndrome was reported in vaccine recipients, an investigation was begun to examine this possible association. Other than the Guillain-Barré syndrome and rare cases of anaphylaxis, no serious illnesses were causally associated with influenza vaccination by this type of surveillance. Widespread underreporting of illness and death in the passive phase of this surveillance system, however, impaired the ability to draw conclusions about reactions to vaccine from the reports of illness received.
