Breast cancer metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is relatively rare and is generally found when patients complain of symptoms such as gastrointestinal obstruction. Herein, we report a case with metastatic colonic and gastric lesions from breast cancer, with the formation of mucosal polyps which resembled typical hyperplastic polyps.A 47-year-old woman underwent curable surgery for breast ...

although the majority of mesenchymal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract are neoplastic in nature, but nonneoplastic reactive processes may also involve the gastrointestinal tract and mesentery. some more aggressive neoplasms located in same area, such as fibromatosis or gastrointestinal stromal  tumors  may  be  cause  of  diagnostic  confusion.  reactive  nodular  fibrous  pseudo  tumor (rn...

The aim of this review is to analyze and summarize the existing evidence regarding possibilities using acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce cancer risk. Conclusions. Chronic inflammation facilitates onset progress tumour growth. Anti-cancer properties are mediated via cyclooxygenase COX-dependent mechanisms, as well tumorigenic pathways. Current...

  Aneurysms of gastric vessels (Dieulafoy`s disease, caliber-persistent artery) are thought to be of malformative rather than degenerative origin. They are usually single, located in the submucosa, usually on the lesser curvature, and characterized by a large tortuous vessel surmounted by a small defect...

BACKGROUND p53 gene mutations have been reported in over half of all human cancers and they appear to occur in the early stage of cancer, thus indicating the important role that such mutations may play in the carcinogenesis of the digestive tract. This study investigated the differences in p53 abnormalities between cancers of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS T...

The gastrointestinal tract is a challenging anatomical target for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for bleeding, polyps and cancerous growths. Advanced endoscopes that combine imaging and therapies within the gastrointestinal tract provide an advantage over stand-alone diagnostic or therapeutic devices. However, current multimodal endoscopes lack the spatial resolution necessary to detect ...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with several disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including gastric cancer. Studies ours and others suggest that H. may affect melatonin synthesis in epithelial cells. On other hand, ameliorates as shown clinical trials experimental studies. Moreover, not only suppresses DNA-damaging reaction diet-related mutagens can initiate carcinog...

Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies gastrointestinal tract, characterized by high malignancy potential and poor prognosis. Surgical treatment standard for localized esophageal cancer, but results only surgery locally advanced tumors remain unsatisfactory. The use neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as well chemoradiation therapy, leads to a downstaging tumor, improves its resecta...
