Phenolic environmental estrogens (PEEs) are representative of estrogens, which commonly known as bisphenol, alkyl phenols, triazine herbicides, and non-steroidal such diethylstilbestrol. Diethylstilbestrol is on the list drugs other compounds prohibited in food animals. Therefore, control its illegal use has become a very urgent problem, it necessary to analyze estrogen residue water samples. I...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present report was to draw the attention of oncologists to the importance of prompt diagnosis of primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the lung, which allows early initiation of treatment to maintain quality of life. CASE PRESENTATION A 63-year-old Chinese woman initially presented to our facility with multifocal bilateral choroid metastatic lesions that were found ...

Introduction Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is the classic example of an endocrine disruptor and exemplifies the damage done by xenoestrogens. DES is a non-steroidal, synthetic estrogen that was developed to supplement a woman's natural estrogen production. DES was first prescribed by physicians in 1938 for women who experienced miscarriages or premature deliveries that were believed due to insuffici...

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the contralateral ureter is a rare phenomenon. We report a metastatic RCC to the contralateral ureter 5 months after right radical nephrectomy for Fuhrman grade 3/4 clear cell adenocarcinoma with pathologic T3 staging. The distal ureter was excised followed by partial ileal ureteral substitution. Pathology confirmed metastatic clear cell RCC Fuhrman grad...

Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)/cancer-initiating cells (CICs) are defined as a small population of cancer cells that have high tumorigenicity. Furthermore, CSCs/CICs are resistant to several cancer therapies, and CSCs/CICs are therefore thought to be responsible for cancer recurrence after treatment and distant metastasis. In epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cases, disease recurrence after chemot...

Our purpose was to examine the immunolocalization of inhibin, activin and the activin signaling system in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma tissue. Tissue samples of ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma were collected from ten women. The patients' ages ranged from 41 to 71 years (mean ± standard deviation; 53.4±9.9). Their surgicopathological staging was based on the criteria of the International ...

INTRODUCTION Podoplanin is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in endothelial lymphatic cells. It was proven to be a predictive marker in a variety of cancers e.g. mesothelioma and head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare and unique histopathologic subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The molecular basis of that phenomenon remains unknown. ...

•Endometriosis-associated abdominal wall cancer is a rare entity with poor prognosis.•Personal history of C-section is extremely relevant.•The treatment consists in a wide local excision with adjuvant chemotherapy.•Proper treatment of abdominal endometriosis could prevent these situations.
