Undifferentiated Carcinoma of Larynx of Nasopharyngeal Type
Undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharyngeal type arising in the larynx is unusual. This type of carcinoma-which occurs almost exclusively in nasopharynx-is very infrequent in the larynx (0.2%). Till date only 17 cases are reported in the medical literature. We present the clinical and histopathological findings along with the management of one additional case of undifferentiated carcinoma of n...
متن کاملOverexpression of p53 and neoplastic cell proliferation in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Abstract. The author investigated the p53 status in correlation with cellular proliferation in the undifferentiated subgroup, which is infrequently found in caucasians. The author evaluated formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks from sixty cases with undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx by p53 and Ki67 immunostaining. All samples were retrieved from the surgical pathology file...
متن کاملGemcitabine in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma of the undifferentiated type.
BACKGROUND We conducted two parallel phase II trials in chemonaïve and previously treated patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) to evaluate the tumour response, progression-free and overall survival, and toxicity of gemcitabine. PATIENTS AND METHODS Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 was given on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group perform...
متن کاملDistant metastasis of undifferentiated carcinoma of nasopharyngeal type.
Positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) which is a promising method for the early detection of DM of NPC [7] was not mentioned in this case report, although early detection of further liver metastasis might not have changed the clinical practice nor improved patient’s survival [8]. It would be interesting to know the intensity of fixation in PET...
متن کاملQuantitative plasma hypermethylated DNA markers of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
PURPOSE Gene-specific methylation is common in primary undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). DNA released from apoptotic or necrotic cell death including those aberrantly methylated promoter DNA of cancer cells is absorbed into the circulation as cell-free plasma DNA of the patient. This study aims at evaluation of the potential use of methylated gene promoter DNA as a serological tu...
