An Immunohistochemical Study of Cyclin D1 Expression in Astrocytic Tumors and its Correlation with Tumor Grade
Background & Objective: Glioblastoma-multiforme is the high grade form of astrocytic tumors with a short survival time, which are the most common type of brain tumors. Therefore, finding new therapeutic options is essential. Cyclin D1 is expressed in some human malignancies and can be a potential target for therapeutic intervention. The aim of the present study was to determine...
متن کاملNeutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin immunoexpression in renal tumors: correlation with histotype and histological grade.
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25 kDa protein with roles in iron trafficking as well as in carcinogenesis and progression of several human neoplasias. Although the renal proximal tubule represents a major source of NGAL synthesis under various injurious stimuli to the kidney, NGAL expression has been rarely evaluated in renal tumors up to now. In view of this, in the pre...
متن کاملDetermination of CD117 Expression in Glial Tumors and Its Comparison between High Grade and Low Grade Tumors
Background and Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors. Despite therapeutic advances, the majority of gliomas do not respond to either chemo or radiotherapy. CD117, the gene product of c-kit has been expressed in cells of glial tumors. Because gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that express CD117 respond dramatically to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ide...
متن کاملLow Grade Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Lung
The lung is the second most common site of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Typical and atypical carcinoids are low-grade NETs of the lung. They present a favorable prognosis comported to the more common high-grade NETs. The low- and high-grade NETs require different treatment strategies; effective management of these tumors is essential to prolong survival and to manage the symptoms in patients w...
متن کاملThymidylate synthase expression in gastroenteropancreatic and pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors.
PURPOSE The predictive role of the quantification of thymidylate synthase (TS) in tumors treated with antifolate drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), has been extensively reported in a variety of human tumors. Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) represent potential targets of antifolate agents, but no data on TS expression level in these tumors are currently available. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A series o...
