Hemofiltrocytodiagnosis as a morphological method of malignant neoplasm detection

Selenium: As A Diagnostic Marker For Malignant Neoplasm

The deficiency of selenium has been correlated with the accelerated development of prostrate cancer in transgenic mice whereas supplementary selenium has been found to reduce progression of lungs cancer in human. This study aims at exploring any association or otherwise of the blood selenium level in cancer patient with the cancer occurrence and the investigation of the selenium as a biomarker ...

Thyroid malignant neoplasm-associated biomarkers as targets for oncolytic virotherapy

Biomarkers associated with thyroid malignant neoplasm (TMN) have been widely applied in clinical diagnosis and in research oncological programs. The identification of novel TMN biomarkers has greatly improved the efficacy of clinical diagnosis. A more accurate diagnosis may lead to better clinical outcomes and effective treatments. However, the major deficiency of conventional chemotherapy and ...

Testicular hemangioma mimicking a malignant neoplasm

A 34-year-old man who presented with right scrotal pain, and who on subsequent ultrasound examination, was found to have an intratesticular hypoechoic mass. Based on the ultrasound appearance of this mass, a malignant germ cell tumor was thought to be the most likely diagnosis. Preoperative serum tumor markers, including lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-1-fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonad...
