PGK1 as Predictor of CXCR4 Expression, Bone Marrow Metastases and Survival in Neuroblastoma
BACKGROUND AND AIM A close relationship between phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and the CXCR4/SDF1 axis (chemokine receptor 4/stromal cell derived factor 1) has been shown for several cancers. However, the role of PGK1 has not been investigated for neuroblastoma, and PGK1 might be a therapeutic target for this tumor entity. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the role of PGK1 expressi...
متن کاملThe Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases
Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...
متن کاملBone marrow and cervical lymph nodes metastases as prodromal manifestations of malignant melanoma in a child
Malignant melanoma in children is rare. It can arise from congenital melanocytic nevi. In pediatric patients, diagnosis of melanoma is difficult and challenging because the physicians have a low index of suspicion. Marrow metastasis in malignant melanoma especially in children is extremely uncommon. Here, the authors reported a 5 year old girl who was presented with a 4 month history of pelvic ...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase in bone marrow metastases of disseminated neuroblastoma.
Antisera to each of the three main cytosolic forms of glutathione S-transferase (GST; alpha, mu, and pi) has been used to characterise GST expression by metastatic neuroblastoma in bone marrow trephine biopsies taken from 15 patients at presentation and from five of this group at relapse. There was no correlation between expression of extra-nuclear alpha or mu GST and outcome, and no consistent...
متن کاملMicrometastases in bone marrow in patients with primary breast cancer: evaluation as an early predictor of bone metastases.
The bone marrow of 307 patients with primary breast cancer was examined for tumour cells by immunocytochemistry using an antiserum to epithelial membrane antigen. Micrometastases were found in 81 cases (26.4%) and their presence was related to various poor prognostic factors: spread to lymph nodes, vascular invasion, T stage, and pathological size. The median duration of follow up was 28 months...
