RUNX3 methylation reveals that bladder tumors are older in patients with a history of smoking.

Exposure to tobacco smoke is associated with increased DNA methylation at certain genes in both lung and bladder tumors. We sought to identify interactions in bladder cancer between DNA methylation and a history of smoking, along with any possible effect of aging. We measured DNA methylation in 342 transitional cell carcinoma tumors at BCL2, PTGS2 (COX2), DAPK, CDH1 (ECAD), EDNRB, RASSF1A, RUNX...

Gender- and smoking-related bladder cancer risk.

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that, when smoking habits are comparable, women incur a higher risk of lung cancer than men. Because smokers are also at risk for bladder cancer, we investigated possible sex differences in the susceptibility to bladder cancer among smokers. METHODS A population-based, case--control study was conducted in Los Angeles, CA, involving 1514 case patients with ...

A case of neurosarcoidosis with aggresive characteristics

Methods A male patient, who was 14 years old at that time, applied to the emergency department 4 years ago with right sided hemiplegia, right sided hemianopsia and disarticulated speech. Cranial MRI showed T2 and flair hyperintensities on optic tractus and chiasma opticum. This finding was consistent with either neoplastic diseases or aggressive inflamatory processes. Lomber punction revealed n...
