Disseminated thoracoabdominal splenosis mimicking metastatic disease: A case of colorectal cancer
Here, we describe a patient with a history of colorectal cancer in whom 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) was performed for the evaluation of response to therapy. [18F]FDG PET/CT showed a small residual disease in the rectum. In addition, multiple metabolically inactive soft tissue densities were d...
متن کاملComprehensive management of disseminated breast cancer.
The management of patients with metastatic breast cancer is best achieved by the judicious use of local and systemic measures that palliate symptoms and improve overall quality of life. When two treatment approaches are known to be equally efficacious, the less toxic should be used. When disease is limited to one or two sites and the patient has an indolent form of the disease, the patient's sy...
متن کاملCastration-induced bone loss triggers growth of disseminated prostate cancer cells in bone.
Up to 90% of patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer develop bone metastases, and the majority of these men have received androgen deprivation therapy known to cause bone loss. Whether this treatment-induced change to the bone microenvironment affects disseminated tumour cells, potentially stimulating development of bone metastasis, remains to be determined. The objective of this study...
متن کاملHigh-molecular-weight transforming growth factor activity in the urine of patients with disseminated cancer.
Urine from 22 patients with a variety of disseminated cancers and from an equivalent number of nonmalignant controls of similar age and sex was tested for the presence of transforming growth factor (TGF) activity as measured by the ability to promote the growth in soft agar of nontransformed indicator cells. Cancer patients included those with carcinomas of the lung, breast, colon, and ovary, a...
متن کاملSerum vascular endothelial growth factor is often elevated in disseminated cancer.
In adults, marked angiogenesis takes place only during the female reproductive cycles, during wound healing, and accompanying some disease processes, such as tumor development. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a secreted, endothelial cell-specific growth factor, which is induced by tissue hypoxia and is angiogenic in vivo. We measured serum VEGF (S-VEGF) concentrations by ELISA in p...
