BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the procedure of choice to investigate and sample pancreatic masses for the preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The role of 18fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in PDAC is debated. This study evaluates the role of EUS-FNA as compared to PET/CT in ...

TRPV6 is an endothelial calcium entry channel that is strongly expressed in breast adenocarcinoma tissue. In this study, we further confirmed this observation by analysis of breast cancer tissues, which indicated that TRPV6 mRNA expression was up-regulated between 2-fold and 15-fold compared with the average in normal breast tissue. Whereas TRPV6 is expressed in the cancer tissue, its role as a...

The present study aimed to evaluate Antioxidant and Cytotoxic activity of phytofabricated silver nanoparticles (FmF-AgNPs) derived from Figs Ficus mollis. This green synthesized FmF-AgNPs were tested for antioxidant with DPPH assay cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (Human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines) MTT at various concentrations. data obtained demonstrated that posses both which is dosage-depend...

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin lesions. Case series have shown an association between dermatomyositis and malignancy. Malignancy has been found in 15-25% of the adult patients with dermatomyositis. A 50-year-old new case of breast cancer, was admitted with muscle weakness and inability to walk. Physical examination revealed fever, perior...

Cutaneous metastasis is one of the many skin changes which are associated with internal malignancies. Breast, lung, and colon are the most common sources of internal primary malignancies. Gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma is a rare cause of cutaneous metastasis to the scalp. Gastric adenocarcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver, peritoneal cavity and regional lymph nodes more often t...

Dear Editor, Cutaneous metastases of adenocarcinoma are uncommon but important. The occurrence of cutaneous metastases typically signifi es widespread disease with poor prognosis. Such metastases usually occur as an isolated and rapidly growing mobile nodule unrelated topographically to the primary tumour site.1 We report a case of metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma with unusual cutaneous presen...

Received January 16, 2007; accepted February 10, 2007. ABSTRACT Axillary presentation from occult breast cancer is uncommon and continues to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to physicians. Once the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma metastatic to an axillary lymph node has been confirmed, a preoperative workup should be done. The current experience is based on several relatively small retrosp...
