CT texture features are associated with overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – a quantitative analysis
BACKGROUND To assess whether CT-derived texture features predict survival in patients undergoing resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS Thirty patients with pre-operative CT from 2007 to 2012 for PDAC were included. Tumor size and five texture features namely uniformity, entropy, dissimilarity, correlation, and inverse difference normalized were calculated. Mann-Whitne...
متن کاملPancreatic adenocarcinoma in a patient with relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma
After curative treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, increased risk of certain solid tumors has been reported. To best of our knowledge this is the first report of metachronous pancreatic adenocarcinoma which developed outside the previous radiation field in a patient with relapse Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Herein we present an 81-year-old female who developed pancreatic adenocarcinoma four yea...
متن کاملThe expression of CD146 predicts a poor overall survival in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung.
BACKGROUND The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is also involved in cancer progression and metastasis. The expression of mesenchymal marker genes might be associated with a more aggressive form of the disease. CD146 is a marker of mesenchymal cells, a potentially metastasis-promoting cell adhesion molecule, and its expression has been described in various types of solid tumors. We, herei...
متن کاملCytokeratin 7-positive/cytokeratin 20-negative cecal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the uterine cervix: a case report
BACKGROUND The vast majority of uterine cervical malignancies are primary carcinomas, and secondary neoplasms that metastasize to the uterine cervix from a distant organ are uncommon. Although relatively rare, metastases to the uterine cervix from a primary colon cancer have been reported. We report a rare case of metastatic carcinoma originating from a cecal adenocarcinoma with an unusual cyto...
متن کاملExpression of cytokeratin 20 indicates invasive histological phenotype in poorly differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma.
BACKGROUND/AIM Cytokeratin (CK) 20 expression is an independent prognostic factor of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PDA) of the colon and rectum. We aimed to investigate the mechanism of its involvement through a clinicopathological study. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 156 surgically resected PDAs, which were sub-classified as solid type (Por1) showing expansive growth, or non-solid...
