Spontaneous maturation of stage IV--S neuroblastoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of stage IV--S neuroblastoma is presented in which treatment has deliberately been kept to a minimum. Gradual maturation to ganglioneuroma has been documented and the patient's generally good progress has justified this approach.

Loss of caspase-8 expression in highly malignant human neuroblastoma cells correlates with resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis.
Human neuroblastoma (NB) is a highly heterogeneous childhood cancer that is aggressively malignant or can undergo spontaneous regression that may involve apoptosis. NB-derived cell lines were tested for their sensitivity to apoptosis induced by the tumor-selective ligand tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Noninvasive S-type cell lines (NB cell lines of substrate ad...
متن کاملCombined analysis of DNA ploidy index and N-myc genomic content in neuroblastoma.
The aim of the study was to assess, in a group of nonselected patients with neuroblastoma, the prognostic value of both N-myc gene amplification and DNA ploidy index, taking into account potential confounding factors such as age and stage. Of 59 patients studied, 23 were younger than 1 year at diagnosis, 31 presented with stage IV, 10 with stage III, 5 with stage II, 8 with stage I, and 4 with ...
متن کاملHuman neuroblastoma cell lines as models for the in vitro study of neoplastic and neuronal cell differentiation.
Neuroblastoma is a childhood solid tumor composed of primitive cells derived from precursors of the autonomic nervous system. This neoplasm has the highest rate of spontaneous regression of all cancer types and has been noted to undergo spontaneous and chemically induced differentiation into elements resembling mature nervous tissue. As such, neuroblastoma has been a prime model system for the ...
متن کاملIdentification of DEIN, a novel gene with high expression levels in stage IVS neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma at stage IVS, defined by dissemination to specific tissues and age <1 year at diagnosis, regularly follows spontaneous regression without cytotoxic treatment. To uncover the molecular characteristics of this subtype, Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) profiles from stage IVS and fatal stage IV tumors were compared. A SAGE tag (GCAACTTAAC) was detected that was overrepresent...
