Protein profiling of alpha-fetoprotein producing gastric adenocarcinoma
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) producing gastric adenocarcinoma is considered as a rare subtype of gastric adenocarcinoma. Compared with AFP non-producing gastric adenocarcinoma, our study and other previous studies showed that AFP producing gastric adenocarcinoma is more aggressive and prone to liver metastasis. Using the Protein Pathway Array, 11 of out of 286 proteins tested were found to be differ...
متن کاملA case of alpha-fetoprotein-producing esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Alpha-fetoprotein is a well-known tumor marker in the screening and follow-up of hepatocellular carcinoma. In Taiwanese society, a high prevalence of hepatitis and hepatoma and elevation of alpha-fetoprotein associated with liver function impairment usually suggested clinics undertake further examination for liver or genital tumor. We report the case of 45-year-old man who was found to have an ...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing esophageal adenocarcinoma: a mimicker of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a rare occurrence. Elevation of serum AFP is commonly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and yolk sac tumors, but rarely with esophageal carcinoma. Here, we report a rare case of AFP-producing EAC. A 51-year-old man presented with two weeks of acid reflux and a 35-lb weight loss. Laboratory data were notable for transami...
متن کاملAlpha-Fetoprotein-Producing Nonmetastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma: A Rare Entity
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a plasma protein that is produced by the liver and the yolk sac during fetal development. In adults, an elevation in this protein can be exclusive to specific malignancies such as hepatocellular carcinoma, yolk sac tumors, and metastatic disease to the liver. In the clinical setting, an elevated AFP level and a liver mass (masses) translate to a diagnosis of hepatocel...
متن کاملAlpha-fetoprotein-producing hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder: a case report and review of literature
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an uncommon type of malignancy in extrahepatic tissues. It was named for its histopathological resemblance of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer. The occurrence of HAC in the gallbladder is very low, and tumours that produce alpha-fetoprotein are even rarer. Clinically, it is usually diagnosed histopathologically; and the prognosis is...
