Analysis of microRNAs in pancreatic fine-needle aspirates can classify benign and malignant tissues.
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are RNA molecules that are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes, including those related to human cancers. The aim of this study was to determine, as a proof of principle, whether specific candidate miRNAs could be detected in fine-needle aspirate (FNA) biopsies of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and could accurately differentiate malignant...
متن کاملMicroarray analysis of thyroid nodule fine-needle aspirates accurately classifies benign and malignant lesions.
Current preoperative diagnostic procedures for thyroid nodules rely mainly on the cytological interpretation of fine-needle aspirates (FNAs). DNA microarray analysis has been shown to reliably distinguish benign and malignant thyroid nodules in surgically resected specimens, but its diagnostic potential in thyroid FNA has not been examined. In the present study, the expression profiles of 50 be...
متن کاملUltrastructural analysis of fine needle aspirates from benign breast lesions.
Thirty six fine needle aspirates from various types of benign breast lesions were examined by electron microscopy and correlated with their cytological appearances. In all cases the parenchyma consisted of clumps of cohesive cells with the ultrastructural features of epithelial cells. In many cases, particularly from fibroadenomas, the parenchyma consisted of single layers of polarised epitheli...
متن کاملTelomerase activity in benign and malignant breast lesions: a pilot prospective study on fine-needle aspirates.
The enzyme telomerase contributes to the maintenance of telomere stability (1). Although telomerase reactivation in somatic cells is not sufficient per se for the cells to proliferate indefinitely, telomerase expression and telomere stabilization appear to occur concomitantly with the attainment of immortality in cancer cells (1–3) and may contribute to tumorigenesis and neoplastic progression....
متن کاملComputerized Diagnosis of Breast Fine-Needle Aspirates
The goal of this work is to determine the accuracy of computer-based image analysis in diagnosing breast fine-needle aspirates (FNA). On 192 FNAs, the computerbased diagnostic accuracy was 97.9%. This is consistent with the 97.5% accuracy projected by machine learning methods during the initial training in 1994 with 569 FNAs. One of the attributes of this system is the rendering of a value that...
