Novel characteristics of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer
Background Although serum AFP level is increased in the AFP-producing gastric cancer (GC) patient, AFP-producing GC may become recurrent without re-elevation of serum AFP level. Therefore, novel characteristics of AFP-producing GC such as other biomarkers are to be explored. Results 35 AFP-GC and 48 non-AFP-GC patients were included. Our present study revealed that blood type O (15 cases, 42....
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing carcinoma of the renal pelvis exhibiting hepatoid and urothelial differentiation.
Neoplasms commonly associated with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production are hepatocellular carcinomas and some germ cell tumors, typically yolk sac tumor. Rare tumors of visceral origin may also be associated with AFP production and those exhibiting a distinctive morphology are now known as hepatoid adenocarcinomas. To date, eight such tumors have been reported from the bladder and a further four...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing hepatoid gastric adenocarcinoma in a child presenting with spontaneous gastric perforation.

A 12-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with complaint of abdominal pain. X-ray revealed free air density below the diaphragm. Emergent laparotomy showed perforated stomach. Four weeks after the operation, h...
متن کاملGastric Composite Tumor of Alpha Fetoprotein-Producing Carcinoma/Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma and Endocrine Carcinoma with Reference to Cellular Phenotypes
Alpha-fetoprotein-producing carcinoma (AFPC)/hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) are uncommon in the stomach. Composite tumors consisting of these carcinomas and their histologic phenotypes are not well known. Between 2002 and 2007, to estimate the prevalence of composite tumors consisting of tubular adenocarcinoma, AFPC/HAC and NEC, we reviewed specimens obtained f...
