Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors
The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) consists of a group of tumors characterized by morphologically similar round-cell neoplasm and by the presence of a common chromosomal translocation. Although rare, such tumors constitute the third most frequent primary sarcoma of bone after osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. ESFT most commonly affects young children and adolescents. Because most patients...
متن کاملEwing sarcoma family of tumors.
The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) comprises morphologically heterogeneous tumors that are characterized by nonrandom chromosomal translocations involving the EWS gene and one of several members of the ETS family of transcription factors. The translocation t(11;22)(q24;q12) is the most common and leads to the formation of the EWS-FLI1 fusion protein, which contributes to ESFT pathogenesi...
متن کاملIDH Mutation Analysis in Ewing Sarcoma Family Tumors
BACKGROUND Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to yield α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) with production of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Dysfunctional IDH leads to reduced production of α-KG and NADH and increased production of 2-hydroxyglutarate, an oncometabolite. This results in increased oxidative damage and stabilization of hypoxi...
متن کاملHigh expression of neuropeptide Y1 receptors in ewing sarcoma tumors.
PURPOSE Peptide receptors are frequently overexpressed in human tumors, allowing receptor-targeted scintigraphic imaging and therapy with radiolabeled peptide analogues. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors are new candidates for these applications, based on their high expression in specific cancers. Because NPY receptors are expressed in selected sarcoma cell lines and because novel treatment option...
متن کاملLatent adrenal Ewing sarcoma family of tumors: A case report.
Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) is derived from the neural crest, which originates from basal embryo cells in the primitive neural tube. ESFT often arises at the bone, chest wall, and soft tissues of the thoracic region. However, ESFT that arises from the adrenal gland is much rarer and it is usually revealed by clinical symptoms. We report an autopsy case of suicidal hanging, in which ad...
