Abstract

Background

Angiogenesis plays an important role in colorectal cancer progression. Evidence from preclinical and clinical studies indicates that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the predominant angiogenic factor in human colorectal cancer and is associated with formation of metastases and poor prognosis. Based on these results it was hypothesized that attacking one or more of the VEGF-mediated mechanisms may be promising in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Aims

This article reviews the role of VEGF in colon cancer and summarizes recent advances in the treatment of colorectal cancer by anti-VEGF strategies.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
