Expression of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Protein in Human Breast Cancer
Background & Objectives: Anaplastic lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the genesis of several human cancers. ALK was initially identified because of its involvement in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). ALK is believed to foster tumorigenesis following activation by autocrine and/or paracrine growth loops. Studies reveal that the presence of anti-ALK antibodies ...

on chromosome 2p23, and codes for a protein that is expressed in some cells of the central nervous system, but in virtually no other normal human cells. Interest in this protein among diagnostic pathologists has been related to its utility in recognizing a subset of CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL's), that show a characteristic t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation. This translocation resul...
متن کاملPrimary gastric anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma
INTRODUCTION Most primary stomach lymphomas are now recognized to originate from B-cell. Primary gastric anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) as shown in this case is very rare. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of epigastric pain. Computed tomography showed a tumor in the stomach with perigastric lymphadenopathy. Biopsy ...
