چکیده

A composite carcinoma is a special tumor in which at least two different malignant cell types are blended. Such tumors have been documented in numerous gastrointestinal organs, but rarely occur in the stomach. Usually, they consist of an adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine components (1-3). Here, we present a 64-year-old man with a gastric composite tumor including adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine-, squamous cell-, and clear cell-carcinoma components. To our knowledge, no similar case has been reported in the English language literature to date. In addition to its exceptionality, this case demonstrates the metastases of three distinct components to the liver, which has not been reported previously.

Evaluation of PDL-1 Protein Expression in Tumor Tissues of Patients with Gasteric Cancer

Background and Objective: Nowadays, it has been proven that the immune system plays a major role in the occurrence or treatment of some cancers. The PDL-1 proteins are among the components of the immune system, which are expressed in different body cells, including B cells and T cells. In this regard, the present study was conducted to determine the frequency of PDL-1 protein expression and its...

Role of Helicobacter pylori on differential expression of angiogenic markers in gastric adenocarcinoma

Animal studies showed that male gastric tissues respond more rapidly to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection but the possible mechanisms remained unclear. There is no data about gender specific activity of Androgen receptor (AR) as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in gastric cancer and its interactions with H.pylori and angiogenesis in both genders. To compare the pathogenesis o...

Decreased miR-155-5p, miR-15a, and miR-186 Expression in Gastric Cancer Is Associated with Advanced Tumor Grade and Metastasis

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent cancers with a high rate of mortality in the world. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed to be involved in GC development. In this study, we aimed at investigating differential expression level of miR-155-5p, miR-15a, miR-15b, and miR-186 in GC. Methods: For this research, we used qPCR to investigate miR-15b, miR-155...
