Morphologic and molecular genetic aspects of oligodendroglial neoplasms.
Morphologic criteria for diagnosing oligodendrogliomas and for classifying them as well-differentiated (World Health Organization grade II) and anaplastic (World Health Organization grade III) are well recognized. Nevertheless, applying these guidelines to specific cases often reveals discrepancies among different observers. In addition, whether a given tumor also contains an astrocytic compone...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in Thyroid Neoplasms and Their Clinicopathological Correlation
To evaluate the expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in thyroid neoplasms in a Korean population, we studied a total of 154 cases: papillary carcinoma of classical type (PTC), 86; follicular adenoma (FA), 21; follicular carcinoma (FC), 35; medullary carcinoma (MC), 3; undifferentiated carcinoma (UC), 5; and Hurthle cell neoplasm (HN), 4. Using immun...
متن کاملPreinvasive duct-derived neoplasms in pancreas of keratin 5-promoter cyclooxygenase-2 transgenic mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Basic research aimed at a better understanding of pancreatic carcinogenesis and improving the treatment of this disease is crucial because the majority of pancreatic cancers are highly aggressive and therapeutically nonaccessible. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, which is a key enzyme of prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis, is overexpressed in around 75% of human carcinomas including those...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 expression is related with localization, proliferation, and overall survival in canine melanocytic neoplasms.
A direct relationship has been firmly established between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and malignant behavior in human melanoma. This report examines the relationship between COX-2 expression and tumor location, mitotic and proliferative indices, degree of T CD3(+) lymphocyte infiltration, overall survival, and frequency of recurrence and metastasis of 57 melanocytic tumors (25 oral and ...
متن کاملExpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in melanocytic skin lesions by immunohistochemistry
Introduction: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in pathogenesis of various tumors and possibly malignant skin tumors including malignant melanoma; however, there is not enough information about COX-2 expression in benign melanocytic lesions. In the present study we compared the expression levels of COX-2 in malignant melanoma and benign melanocytic lesions. Method: In this analytical study, ...
