MUCINOUS ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE PROSTATE

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland.

Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland is one of the least common morphologic variants of prostatic carcinoma. A lack of precision in the definition of these mucinous neoplasms has resulted in reports which have overstated the incidence of this lesion. Of approximately 1,600 carcinomas of the prostate gland seen at Memorial Hospital from 1963 to 1983, excluding cases with only needle bio...

Mucinous and Non-Mucinous Adenocarcinoma in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Background: The oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMA). MA is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than NMA. We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with MA compared with NMA in Western Iran. Methods: During 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with CRC referred to...

Analysis of TP53 Codon 72 Polymorphism in Mucinous and Non-Mucinous Colorectal Adenocarcinoma in Isfahan, Iran

Background: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. Case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. We undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...
