5-Year Survival in Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Epithelial and Stromal Versican Expression

Cytokeratin7 expression in gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma: Correlation with prognostic factors

 Background: Gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma are the second and the fifth most common cancers in Iran, respectively. Expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) is established in most malignancies including gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Demonstration of Ck7 could be related to prognostic factors and help to the better management of the patients. The objective of our study was to evalu...

Nuclear factor-κB1 expression levels in human gastric adenocarcinoma

NF-κB pathway is a link between inflammation and cancer and is involved in cellular responses to different stimuli. Gastrointestinal lumen is exposed to many inflammatory agents such as foods, free radicals and bacterial or viral antigens. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible role of NF-κB1in gastric adenocarcinoma. To detect the relative level of NF-κB1transcript, total RN...

Relationship between demographic and pathological characteristics on the 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients in Tehran province

Synchronous gastric stromal tumor and cecal adenocarcinoma.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare intestinal tumors. There have been reports of this tumor occurring with other conditions and tumors. We report a 55-year-old man who presented with a gastric stromal tumor and cecal adenocarcinoma, necessitating right hemicolectomy and partial gastrectomy at the same sitting.

Evaluation of PRR11 gene expression changes and its relationship with tumor size in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma

Introduction: Gastric cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal tract neoplasms. Because of its invasion, and nonspecific symptoms and signs, the disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage with short survival. PRR11 participates in the initiation and progression of lung cancer and breast cancer by regulating important genes involved in cell cycles and tumorigenesis. In this researc...

Prognostic significance of stromal versican expression in human endometrial cancer.

BACKGROUND Versican expression may enhance tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the expression of versican in human endometrial cancer has seldom been characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate versican expression in endometrial cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We immunohistochemically investigated the expression of versican protein in 167 endometrial cancers and analyzed the cor...
