متن کاملImmunohistochemical consistency between primary tumors and lymph node metastases of gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma
BACKGROUND Gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (G-NEC) is a rare, highly malignant tumor that exhibits aggressive growth leading to vascular invasion, distant metastasis and extremely poor prognosis. We studied the clinicopathological findings of seven patients at our institute to better under this disease. METHODS Seven cases of G-NEC were identified among 1,027 cases of gastric carcinoma that ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Profile for Unknown Primary Adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND Development of tailored treatment based on immunohistochemical profiles (IPs) of tumors for cancers of unknown primary is needed. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We developed an algorithm based on primary known adenocarcinoma for testing sensitivity and specificity. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 71 patients of unfavorable subsets of unknown primary adenocarcin...
