Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer Stem Cells with PSP.

Posted on April 28, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the western world. When surgery is not possible, *hormone ablation therapy is used; however, most patients eventually relapse. Chemotherapy has poor results with excessive side effects. Prostate cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as the possible source of prostate cancer, but these cells are highly […]

Treatment of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma.

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Dr. Gary Pack

Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (CTCLs) include a group of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, including mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome. A number of treatments are available; but, patients often become resistant to standard therapy. New treatments are needed and are reviewed by the authors. Mycosis fungoides is slow growing and has a good prognosis. Sezary syndrome is more aggressive […]

PSP and Prostate Cancer.

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

A current treatment for prostate cancer is a pharmaceutical called finasteride, which is a 5-alpha reductase* inhibitor. One clinical trial showed that finasteride reduced prostate cancer incidence in 25% of patients, but did so with significant side effects. There is a need for better therapy for better prostate cancer. Prostate cancer stem cells (CSC) are […]

Lithium Treatment and Cognitive Deficit from Radiation.

Posted on February 15, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Treatment of brain tumors may require irradiation of the head, which can result in damage to the brain with long term mental and physical problems. Irradiation has been identified as causing apoptosis (a natural form of cell death) and loss of neurogenesis (growth of new brain cells) in a specific layer of the hippocampus (an […]

Growth Hormone (GH) and the Immune System.

Posted on September 28, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

The pituitary gland and lymph organs, such as spleen, thymus, and peripheral blood, produce Growth hormone (GH). GH receptors are found on the surface of some lymphocytes. Previous studies have shown that GH has a function in the regulation of immunity and has been shown to have the following functions: T and B cell growth. […]

Promoting the Proliferation of Human Stem Cells.

Posted on May 26, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Stem cells are cells that have the potential of development into various types of mature tissue cells for the purpose of tissue regeneration. Stem cells, called “progenitor cells”, exist naturally in many adult organs and have potential for use in disease treatment. Most research has been focused on transplantation of stem cells from another organism; […]
