Evaluation of Serum Chromogranin A as a Useful Tumor Marker for Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Background: In Egypt, HCC was reported to account for about 4.7% of chronic liver disease patients. Approximately 80% of HCCs are associated with cirrhosis, which is regarded as the most important precancerous etiological factor. Chromogranin A is a cellular marker for neuroendocrine tumors. High serum levels of CgA have also been demonstrated in patients with other malignancies including colon...

متن کاملCirculating interleukin-6 as a tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma.
BACKGROUND A large amount of evidence suggests a possible role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied both IL-6 and A(1)FP in patients with HCC, non-neoplastic liver disease or in healthy controls. RESULTS IL-6 titers were four-fold higher in cancer than in cirrhotic patients and 25-fold higher than in healthy controls....
متن کاملTumor Budding as a Useful Prognostic Marker in T1-Stage Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus
BACKGROUND Establishing a new prognostic factor for early-stage cancer may seem difficult due to the small number of disease-specific deaths. Tumor budding has been recognized as a useful microscopic finding reflecting biological activity of the tumor. METHODS Tumor budding stand for isolated single cancer cells and cell clusters scattered beyond the tumor margin at the invasive front. It was...
متن کاملEvaluating the Expression of Oct4 as a Prognostic Tumor Marker in Bladder Cancer
Objective(s)The key transcriptional regulator Oct4 is one of the self-renewal and differentiation-related factors in cancer stem cells, where it maintains "stemness" state. Cancer stem cells have been identified in a variety of solid malignancies. They are a small population of tumor cells with stem cell characteristics, which are a likely cause of relapse in cancer patients. Due to high incide...
