Genetics of Primary Intraocular Tumors

Intraocular tumors in animals. II. Primary nonpigmented intraocular tumors.

The present authors (14) have recently discussed intraocular tumors in animals, in a report restricted to primary pigmented neoplasms and based on fifteen such cases in dogs. This was the first comprehensive study of spontaneous intraocular tumors in animals, but because of its restricted scope there remain for consideration other primary and various secondary intraoeular tumors. In the present...

Primary pigmented intraocular tumors in animals.

Intraocular melanomas, among the most com mon eye tumors in man, have seldom been reported in animals. This is particularly surprising in regard to the dog, a species that usually lives well into the "tumor age" and is affected by diverse neoplasms. In his "Pathology of Tumours" (1953) Willis (48) stated : ' 'I have not read of an intraocular melano ma in an animal." While reported cases are no...

Genetics of Pediatric Bone Tumors: a Systematic Review

Part III Genetics and Epidemiology of Primary Tumors

Primary and Secondary Tumors of the Sternum

Sternal tumors are very rare and challenging. Secondary sternal tumors are more common than primary tumors. These tumors are usually refractory to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and surgery is the best choice for their treatment. In this study, we reported the collected data of 15 patients with primary and secondary tumors of the sternum, histological type, as well as kind of resection and reco...
