The clinical significance of lymphangiogenesis in renal cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND The formation of lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) occurs in tumor tissues and is crucial for tumor development and progression in some cancers. Lymphangiogenesis and its clinical effect on renal cell carcinoma have been less thoroughly investigated in comparison with angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of lymphangiogenesis as a prognostic factor in renal...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of CXCL12 expression in patients with colorectal carcinoma.
The present study investigated the protein expression level of CXCL12 in colorectal cancer and aimed to elucidate its association with prognosis. CXCL12 positivity in 50% or more of tumor cells was defined as high expression and that in less than 50% of the tumor cells as low expression. CXCL12+ tumor budding at the invasive front was divided into 2 grades: high with 10 or more budding foci per...
متن کاملEvaluating the Prognostic Significance of Bone Marrow Megakaryocyte Count in Patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Background: Previous studies about the relationship between bone marrow megakaryocyte count and the chronicity of ITP has yielded paradoxical results. The aim of the present study was to investigate any relationship between the megakaryocyte count in the bone marrow and the chronicity of ITP. Materials and Methods: This study was performed to compare the primary bone marrow aspiration megakar...
متن کاملThe prognostic significance of tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel density in endometrioid carcinoma of the uterine corpus
The present study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel density (LVD) in endometrioid carcinoma of the uterine corpus. The association between LVD and various factors, including lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI), and nodal metastases, were investigated. Among 202 surgically treated cases, 19 cases with nodal metastases with the infiltration re...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of MMP2 and MMP9 Functional Promoter Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Objective(s) Matrix metalloproteinases comprise a family of enzyme that is able to degrade components of extra cellular matrix. There are single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter regions of several genes with ability to influence cancer susceptibility. The aim of this study was to analyses association between MMP2 and MMP9 promoter polymorphisms and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma...
