BACKGROUND Most gangliogliomas (GGs) are benign tumors, but tumor recurrence and malignant progression are observed in some patients. METHODS The authors analyzed their experience with 4 recurrent/progressive GGs (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I), 21 tumors with atypical features (WHO grade II), and 5 tumors with anaplastic histologic features (WHO grade III). Histopathologic findings...
متن کاملAdipocyte-derived endotrophin promotes malignant tumor progression.
Adipocytes represent a major cell type in the mammary tumor microenvironment and are important for tumor growth. Collagen VI (COL6) is highly expressed in adipose tissue, upregulated in the obese state, and enriched in breast cancer lesions and is a stimulator of mammary tumor growth. Here, we have described a cleavage product of the COL6α3 chain, endotrophin (ETP), which serves as the major me...
متن کاملCentrosome hyperamplification predicts progression and tumor recurrence in bladder cancer.
PURPOSE Recent studies have reported that centrosome hyperamplification (CH) is closely related to chromosomal instability in bladder cancer. In this study, we investigated whether CH could be used as a prognostic biomarker for patients with bladder cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN CH was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 50 bladder cancers (< or =pT1: 43; > or =pT2: 7). In addition, numerical ...

متن کاملClonal cytogenetic progression within intratumorally heterogeneous meningiomas predicts tumor recurrence.
Meningiomas arise from the coverings of the brain or the spinal cord. They are mostly benign and can be surgically cured. However, in approximately 5% of the cases, they turn into malignant forms with aggressive clinical behavior and increased risk of tumor recurrence. Cytogenetically meningiomas are well characterized, with normal karyotype or monosomy of chromosome 22 in most tumors and clini...
