  12. 12. Preface Cancer is the leading cause of death, after cardiovascular diseases, in the United States. A total of 1,399,790 new cancer cases and 564,830 deaths were reported in the year 2006 in the country. Approximately, one in every two men and one in every three women in the country will have some type of cancer during their lifetime. Healthcare costs exceed 1.7 trillion dollars per year in the United States, which is 15% of the countrys gross domestic product. Tobacco use is the most serious prevent- able cause of cancer. Tobacco use causes cancer of the lung, throat, mouth, pancreas, urinary bladder, stomach, liver, kidney, and other types. Passive smoking causes lung cancer. In 2007, 168,000 cancer deaths were expected to be caused by tobacco use (Am. Cancer Society, 2007). The most important risk factor for the development of cancer is increasing age. This factor and epidemiologic shifts have resulted in a marked increase in the number of older patients with cancer. This fact will result in marked increased burden of cancer to the world, including the United States. The fastest-growing segment of the United States population comprises per- sons of 65 years and older, and an increase in the number of older cancer patients is expected. Approximately, 77% of all types of cancers are diagnosed in persons of 55 years and older. It was estimated that one- third of the 559,650 cancer deaths in 2007 in the United States were related to over- weight or obesity, physical inactivity, and nutrition, and thus could also be prevented (Am. Cancer Society, 2007). However, in developed countries, including United States, the average person of 65 years can expect to live another 15 years in a fairly good health. Persons of 75 or 85 years old have an average expectancy of 10 and 6 years, respectively. During the last three decades, intensive clinical research has resulted in reduced cancer incidence, side effects of treat- ments, and death rates and increased sur- vival rates. As a result, there are ten million cancer survivors in the United States; some of them are cancer-free, while others may still have cancer and may be undergoing treatment. It is recognized that scientific journals facilitate exchange of information, result- ing in rapid progress. In this endeavor, the main role of scientific books is to present information in more detail after careful, additional evaluation of the investigational xiii

Although subjects of diagnosis, therapy assessment, and prognosis of various types of cancers, cancer recurrence, and resist- ance to chemotherapy are scattered in a vast number of journals and books, there is need of combining these subjects in single volumes. An attempt has been made to accomplish this goal in these volumes. A constructive evaluation of commonly used methods for elucidating primary and secondary cancer initiation, progression, relapse, and metastasis is presented. In the era of cost-effectiveness, my opin- ion may be a minority prospective, but it needs to be recognized that the potential for false-positive or false-negative inter- pretation on the basis of a single labora- tory test in clinical pathology does exist. Interobservor or intraobservor variability in the interpretation of results in pathology is not uncommon. Interpretive differences often are related to the relative importance of criteria being used. Generally, no test always performs per- fectly. Although there is no perfect remedy to this problem, standardized classifica- tions with written definitions and guide- lines will help. Standardization of methods to achieve objectivity is imperative in this effort. The validity of a test should be based on the objective interpretation of the photomicrographs or tomographic images. The interpretation of the results should be explicit rather than implicit. To achieve accurate diagnosis, and correct prognosis, the use of molecular criteria is important. Indeed, molecular medicine has arrived. This volume discusses in detail all aspects of lung cancer and prostate cancer, includ- ing diagnosis using molecular genetics, various imaging modalities, and tumor markers. Treatments such as chemother- apy, radiation, chemoradiation, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and surgery; and prognosis. The side effects of the treat- ments are also pointed out. Both primary and secondary cancers, and risk of cancer survivors developing other cancers are explained. An attempt is also made to translate molecular genetics into clini- cal practice. Evidence-based therapy is included. Role of metabolism in malignancy and cancer stem cells are discussed in detail. Methods of cancer diagnosis dis- cussed include various modalities of imaging (e.g., MRI, PET, Whole-Body PET, Multidetector-Row Computed Tomography, Transcutaneous Contrast- Enhanced Sonography, and Transrectal Sonography), and Histology and Immuno- histochemistry. Other methodologies, such as Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization and Polymerase Chain Reaction Analysis, are also included. Prognostic biological markers such as mitochondrial mutations and circulat- ing DNA in blood for prostate cancer are described. Treatment of NSCLC with docetaxel, platinum-based chemotherapy, and gefitinib is discussed. Chemotherapy with vinorelbine, doxorubicin, and pred- nisone, and radiotherapy for prostate cancer are discussed. Overexposure of patients to radiology is included. Each chapter is written by distinguished, practicing clinicians/surgeons/oncologists. Their practical experience highlights their writings, which should build and further the endeavors of the readers. This volume was written by 75 scientists representing 14 countries. It is my hope that these handbooks would assist in more complete xiv Preface

I am grateful to the contributors for their promptness in accepting my suggestions, and appreciate their dedication and hard work in sharing their invaluable knowledge with the readers. Each chapter provides unique individual, practical knowledge based on the expertise and practical expe- rience of the authors. The chapters contain the most up-to-date practical as well as theoretical information. It is my hope that the book will be published expeditiously. I am thankful to the Board of Trustees, Dr. Dawood Farahi, and Dr. Kristie Reilly for recognizing the importance of schol- arship in an institution of higher edu- cation and providing the resources for completing this important project. I am thankful to Ayesha Muzaffar and Lina Builes for their expert help in preparing this volume. M.A. Hayat February 2008 Preface xv

  35. 35. 1 Metabolic Transformations of Malignant Cells: An Overview Leslie C. Costello and Renty B. Franklin INTRODUCTION It is generally considered that the hallmark studies of Otto Warburg and colleagues reported in 1926 (Warburg et al., 1926) sparked the era of tumor cell metabolism. From that time until around 1980, and espe- cially from 19401970, studies of interme- diary metabolism of normal and malignant cells were dominant areas of research and graduate and post-graduate training in bio- medical sciences. Pursuant to ~ 1980, the advent, development, and subsequent dom- inance of molecular genetics, proteomics, and molecular technology in clinical and experimental biomedical application was accompanied by the nearly complete sub- mersion of interest and training in areas of intermediary metabolism and tumor cell metabolism. (The contemporary con- sequences of this transition are discussed in a following section.) Now a resurging interest in intermediary metabolism along with the development of metabolomics in relation to cancer and other diseases has emerged. This provides a timely reason to revisit some of the important issues of tumor cell metabolism with a perspec- tive of the contemporary associations of genomics/proteomics/metabolomics, cou- pled with molecular technology; none of which existed during the days of the out- standing biochemists and mitochondriacs of earlier times. The following overview will present some important considerations that relate to the intermediary energy metabolic requirements of tumor cells. However, one must also recognize that differing metabolic pathways exist for different malignant cells in situ; therefore, gener- alizations of metabolic transformations are not likely to be uniformly applicable to all malignant cells. Also, as authors, we take license to present some concepts of malig- nancy that might be challenged by others. Nevertheless, this presentation will serve as food for thought that might stimulate interest and further studies in the exciting field of metabolism of malignancy. AXIOMS OF RELATIONSHIPS OF CELLULAR ACTIVITY, CELLULAR METABOLISM, AND MALIGNANCY The following are important generaliza- tions that we consider to be axiomatic and applicable to all cells. 3
  36. 36. 4 L.C. Costello and R.B. Franklin 1. The existing cellular intermediary metabolism of a cell provides the bioen- ergetic/synthetic/catabolic requirements that are essential for the manifestation of the cells current activities (function, growth, and proliferation). 2. When the activity of a cell changes, its metabolism must also be adjusted consistent with any newly estab- lished bioenergetic/synthetic/catabolic requirements. 3. Malignant cells exhibit a parasitic exist- ence. They have no specialized function other than the activities essential for their generational propagation (growth and proliferation), which occur at the expense of their host. 4. Malignant cells are derived from nor- mal cells that have undergone a genetic transformation to a neoplastic cell phe- notype that is endowed with malignant potential. 5. Manifestation of the malignant poten- tial of the neoplastic cell necessitates alterations in its metabolism (i.e., a metabolic transformation) to provide the bioenergetic/synthetic requirements of malignancy. 6. In the absence of the metabolic trans- formation, the neoplastic cell will not progress to complete malignancy. Con- versely, the metabolic transformation, in the absence of the genetic transforma- tion to a neoplastic malignant cell, will not cause malignancy. 7. Common to all malignant cells is the metabolic requirement for de novo lipogenesis/cholesterogenesis for mem- braneogenesis that is essential for their proliferative existence. These axioms define a relationship (rep- resented in Figure 1.1) that we propose is applicable to all malignancies. DEFINING A MALIGNANT CELL: A PARASITIC EXISTENCE An understanding of the purpose of the existence of a cell at any point in time in its life provides information of the requirement Figure 1.1. The role of altered intermediary metabolism in the process of the development of malignancy. Malignancy begins with the genetic transformation of a normal cell to a neoplastic malignant phenotype. The neoplastic cell undergoes genetic expression changes involved in the metabolic transformation from the normal cell metabolism of ABC to the malignant cell metabolism of XYZ to fulfill the energetic and synthetic metabolic requirements of malignancy. The neoplastic cell can then fulfill its malignant potential
  37. 37. 1. Metabolic Transformations of Malignant Cells: An Overview 5 for and role of its intermediary metabolism. Malignant cells are parasitic cells. They exist for one purpose, that is, to grow and to proliferate to ensure their generational propagation. They do so at the expense and destruction of the host. These are the crite- ria that define a parasitic life-style. Except for the relevance to clinical identification, it is an error (in our view) to consider or to describe tumor cells as dedifferentiated or undifferentiated cells. To do so places tumor cells in the same category as normal undifferentiated cells (e.g., stem cells, basal cells, mesenchyme cells and others that we will refer to collectively as stem cells). Stem cells, like tumor cells, also exist to grow and proliferate, but they do so for the purpose of differentiating into special- ized cells that perform specific functions. Stem cells proliferate to maintain a con- tinual population of cells for further dif- ferentiation. However, unlike the parasitic tumor cells, these cells grow/proliferate in harmony with the host tissue, i.e., they exhibit a symbiotic life-style. In this sense these are sane cells, while tumor cells are insane cells. The malignant cells exhibit two essential activities for their progres- sion and propagation: (1) growth and pro- liferation; (2) invasion and motility. The latter are life-cycle activities in support of the former. The intermediary metabolism of the malignant cells must provide the bioenergetic and synthetic requirements for these activities. THE IN SITU ENVIRONMENT OF THE MALIGNANT CELL DICTATES ITS METABOLISM Especially for solid tumors, the malig- nant cells are subjected to a changing environment as they grow and progress. Most notable is the influence of the availability of oxygen and micronutrients derived from circulation. The former is of paramount importance in relation to the intermediary metabolism of the malig- nant cell. The initiation of the malignant cell activity is followed by growth and proliferation that results in an increasing mass of malignant cells. This subjects the population of malignant cells to dif- ferent gradients of oxygen ranging from normoxia through hypoxia toward anoxia. One can visualize a solid ball of cells in which the outside layer of cells is in apposition to the air, and each inner layer of cells progressively is more distant from the air. Thus, the intermediary metabo- lism of the malignant cells comprising the tumor mass cannot be expected to be uni- form at any one time, and the intermedi- ary metabolism of the malignant cells can be expected to change as the availability of oxygen changes. As the environment becomes more hypoxic leading to anoxia, the continued malignant proliferation and other activities will become compromised and ultimately arrested. This is due to the inability of the major population of malig- nant cells to derive their metabolic bioen- ergetic and biosynthetic requirements. The lack of available oxygen and nutrients, such as glucose, from circulation prevents the malignancy from progressing. This is best illustrated by the requirements for lipogenesis/cholesterogenesis and even the accelerated glycolysis, neither of which can be sustained under such conditions. One must not forget that the waste prod- ucts of the metabolism of the malignant cells also need to be eliminated, which also requires the availability of circulation. In other words, a refurbished perfusate is an essential environmental condition for tumor progression. Indeed, the successful
  38. 38. 6 L.C. Costello and R.B. Franklin evolution of malignant cells has resulted from adaptive capabilities to confront and to overcome this adversity. For example, they upregulate hypoxia inducible factor and stimulate angiogenesis to create the circulation and environment that allows their further progression. Therefore, the cycle of malignancy involves periods of growth and prolifera- tion and periods of arrest to refuel the environment; all of which accommodate the metabolic requirements of the mali
