Isolated Non-ascitic Peritoneal Carcinomatosis from Metastatic Prostate Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prostate cancer most commonly metastasizes to bone, lung and liver. Omental metastasis of prostate cancer is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature, many of which have associated ascites. We present a case of non-ascitic omental metastasis of prostate cancer without any bone metastases. Furthermore, this patient has had two negative measurements of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood, suggesting a non-hematogenous route of metastasis to the omentum.

Mesothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition as a possible therapeutic target in peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer
Peritoneal dissemination is the primary metastatic route of ovarian cancer (OvCa), and is often accompanied by the accumulation of ascitic fluid. The peritoneal cavity is lined by mesothelial cells (MCs), which can be converted into carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) through mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT). Here, we demonstrate that MCs isolated from ascitic fluid (AFMCs) of Ov...

AIM To determine whether assays of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cholesterol in ascites add diagnostic value to cytology. METHODS The additional diagnostic efficacy of the biochemical assays was studied in the ascitic fluid from 130 patients, of whom 57 had peritoneal carcinomatosis. All diagnoses were verified by subsequent necropsy and/or histology. RESULTS CEA concentrations over 5 ...

Lung cancer rarely involves the peritoneum without involvement of other metastatic sites. The most common regions of metastasis are the pleura, lung parenchyma, skeletal system, liver, brain, and adrenal glands. Compared with pleural metastasis, peritoneal involvement is rarely encountered in lung carcinoma. Ascites development is often described during late stages of the disease, following dia...
