Oligodendroglial neoplasms with the -1p/-19q genotype are more indolent with longer survival and increased therapeutic responsiveness than those with intact 1p/19q, but the biological basis for these clinical differences is unclear. Recent research suggests that oligodendrogliomas with and without the -1p/-19q genotype may be distinguished by their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance, s...

Lung India • Volume 35 • Issue 2 • March-April 2018 187 therapeutic implications. In the study of IL, it is essential to establish the histological subtype. The myxoid L is highly radiosensitive and remarkable response has been reported, with volume reduction of 52%, lipoma-like transformation and dense vascular pattern.[3] Radiotherapy is believed to be an ineffective therapeutic modality for ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant tumour involving the salivary glands, rarely developing in the nasopharynx. The biological behaviour of adenoid cystic carcinoma is characterized by slow growth rate, high tendency to local recurrence and metastatic spread. Its histological features are particularly important for prognostic prediction: solid pattern has the worst outcome. Initial presenta...

The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence and type of activating point mutations at codons 12, 13, and 61 of the Ki-, Ha-, and N-ras genes in a series of early gastric carcinomas in white patients and to correlate these ras gene mutations, if any, with the histological type (Lauren classification), the type of growth pattern, and with the Helicobacter pylori status. Haematoxylin and ...

Abstract Introduction A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon neoplasm of mesenchymal and probably fibroblastic origin, occurring mainly in the extremities, pleura. However, a primary involvement endocrine organs rare even exceptional when found adrenal gland. Hereby, we describe 10th report SFT. Case presentation 77-year old man was diagnosed with lesion right gland during urologic indic...

AIM To examine the influence of socioeconomic status on growth pattern in height from age 7 to 23 years. METHODS Prospective cohort study. A total of 10 200 white singleton born children from the 1958 British birth cohort (National Child Development Study) were analysed. RESULTS Differences in height by birth weight persisted throughout the follow up period. However, the mean differences in...
