Matrix metalloproteinase expression in high grade soft tissue sarcomas.
Soft tissue sarcomas comprise a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors with varying biological behavior ranging from indolent tumors with no or minimal metastatic risk to aggressive and frequently metastasizing tumors. Among the more common aggressive adult soft tissue sarcomas are malignant fibrous histiocytoma, synovial sarcoma and liposarcoma. Matrix metalloproteinases are enzymes which p...
متن کاملGLI gene expression in bone and soft tissue sarcomas of adult patients correlates with tumor grade.
The GLI gene encodes a transcription factor harboring five zinc finger motifs that bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner. The gene was originally identified because of its amplification in a human glioblastoma, and previous studies have shown it to be amplified in a significant proportion of mesenchymal tumors, such as childhood sarcomas. Here we evaluate GLI gene expression in bone and sof...
متن کاملAnalysis of pulmonary nodules in patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcomas
Nowadays, small pulmonary nodules are easily detectable in patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) because of highly improved computed tomography (CT) technologies. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and significance of the pulmonary nodules detected by CT in high-grade STS patients. 124 patients with high-grade STS were retrospectively reviewed. There were 72 males (57%...
متن کاملPredictors of local recurrence in high-grade soft tissue sarcomas: hydrogen peroxide as a local adjuvant.
Soft tissue sarcomas have a mortality rate of 40% to 60%, with local recurrence being a poor prognostic factor for overall survival. Three-percent nondiluted hydrogen peroxide is hypothesized to be an effective local adjuvant. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for local recurrence in high-grade soft tissue sarcomas and to determine whether using hydrogen peroxide as a local...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of histological invasion in high grade soft tissue sarcomas
High grade soft tissue sarcomas often show histological invasion to adjacent compartment including bone and vessel. This study aimed to evaluate histological invasion in high grade soft tissue sarcomas, clarify its impact on prognosis and devise treatment strategies. We retrospectively reviewed 133 patients with non-small round cell high grade soft tissue sarcomas surgically treated between 200...
