Colorectal mesenchymal tumors - from smooth muscle tumors to stromal tumors.
Colorectal mesenchymal tumors are rare. Therefore, distinguishing between gastrointestinal stromal (GIST) and smooth muscle tumors is important. This study aimed to delineate the immunophenotype and prognostic factors of 75 colorectal mesenchymal tumors. Fifty-three GIST and 22 smooth muscle tumor specimens were included from 1986 to 2007. Forty of 53 GIST were initially diagnosed as smooth mus...
متن کاملKRAS mutant colorectal tumors
The treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains one of the largest hurdles in cancer therapeutics to date. The most advanced treatment option for mCRC patients are anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind to and inhibit the activity of EGFR. While the use of anti-EGFR mABs has had great impact in the treatment of mCRC, it has now been wide...
متن کاملRFA for liver tumors: does it really work?
The use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasing in the treatment of both primary and metastatic hepatic tumors. However, the role of RFA has yet to be clearly defined in patients who are still considered amenable to surgical intervention. Future prospective studies are needed to define whether RFA can be used as an alternative to surgery in certain patient populations. In the interim, ra...
متن کاملExpression Status of UBE2Q2 in Colorectal Primary Tumors and Cell Lines
Background: Activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in various malignancies, including colorectal cancer, is established. This pathway mediates the degradation of damaged proteins and regulates growth and stress response. The novel human gene, UBE2Q2, with a putative ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme activity, is reported to be overexpressed in some malignancies. We sought to investigate the ...
متن کاملColorectal tumors: the histology report.
Epithelial colorectal tumors are common pathologic entities. Their histology report should be comprehensive of a series of pathologic parameters essential for the correct clinical management of the patients. Diagnostic histologic criteria of adenomatous, serrated, inflammatory, and hamartomatous polyps and of polyposis syndromes are discussed. In addition, the pathologic features of early and a...
