چکیده
Aim-To identify the possible role of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), in Chinese patients, in the pathogenesis of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods-Formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissues from 74 cases of oesophagealsquamous cellcarcinoma (28 with well differentiated, 27 with moderately differentiated and 18 with poorly differentiated carcinomas) were analysed for EBV using in situ hybridisation for EBV

متن کاملOesophageal mesenchymal tumours: clinicopathological features and absence of Epstein-Barr virus.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have suggested that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with smooth muscle tumours (leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus and in organ transplant recipients. Leiomyoma is the most common mensenchymal tumour found in the oesophagus. AIM To report a single institution experience on oesophageal mesenchymal tumours and to dete...
متن کاملTHE IN VITRO GROWTH PROPERTIES OF CELL LINES FROM EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS-INDUCED TAMARIN TUMORS AND TAMARIN B CELLS TR ANSFORMED BY EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS
EBV-carrying human cell lines, depending on whether the cells are derived from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) tumor biopsies or transformed by EBV in vitro, have different growth properties in vitro. In contrast, there are no clear differences between tamarin tumor lines and tamarin LCLs in vitro. Both types of tamarin cell lines could grow in agarose and formed colonies unlike human LCLs, althoug...
متن کاملExpression of Epstein-Barr virus in Hodgkin lymphoma Specimens in IRAN.
Background & Objectives: The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV( is related with various diseases including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and post-transplant lymphoprolifrative disorders. The aim of this study was to characterize the association between EBV and Hodgkin's lymphoma through EBERs in situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) in Iranian pat...
متن کاملDetection of Epstein-Barr virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction in surgical specimens of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and vocal cord nodules.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the incidence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in surgical specimens of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and vocal cord nodules. PATIENTS AND METHODS Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples randomly selected from 22 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx (20 males, 2 females; mean age 52 years) and from 17 patients with vocal cord nod...
