mesothelioma, and reactive mesothelium
Antibodies raised against human milk fat globule (HMFG 1 and 2) and carcinoembryonic antigen were used in an immunoperoxidase technique to differentiate mesothelioma, carcinoma, and benign, reactive mesothelium. Sixteen mesotheliomas, 27 lung carcinomas, and 13 specimens of reactive mesothelium were examined. Staining for carcinoembryonic antigen was not seen in reactive mesothelium or mesothel...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical differences between hyaluronan- and non-hyaluronan-producing malignant mesothelioma.
In many but not all cases, malignant mesothelioma is associated with an elevated content of hyaluronan in pleural fluid. The hyaluronan-producing mesothelioma has not yet been immunohistochemically characterized; therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the immunohistochemical reactivity patterns in relation to the ability of this tumour to produce hyaluronan. Pleural fluid samples f...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical expression of the glucose transporters Glut-1 and Glut-3 in human malignant melanomas and benign melanocytic lesions
BACKGROUND Reported data indicate that cancer cells have increased rates of glucose metabolism, as determined by 18FDG-PET imaging in patients with malignancies. The results of many studies have demonstrated that the expression of glucose transporters, especially Glut-1, is increased in a variety of malignancies. This study was undertaken to assess the differential expression of Glut-1 and Glut...
متن کاملPRIMARY MALIGNANT PERICARDIAL MESOTHELIOMA
Primary malignant neoplasms of the pericardium are rare and are predominantly mesotheliomas, followed by benign localized fibrous mesothelioma, malignant fibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma and benign and malignant teratomas. 1 This article concerns an atypical presentation of this malignant tumor with symptoms and signs of pericardial effusion. This unusual feature was complete encasement of the h...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical expression and distribution of VEGFR-3 in malignant mesothelioma.
Homogeneity of mesothelial and lymphatic endothelial cells, express some markers that are presumed to be exclusive of the endothelium was recently reported. This similarity is important to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant mesothelioma (MM). Additionally, some of these markers provide the rationale for specific molecular-targeted novel therapies aimed at MM, an aggressive maligna...
