The clinical and pathologic data of the 221 patients with breast carcinoma primarily treated in the Servico de Cirurgia 3 of Hospital S. Joäo from 1960 to 1979 were reviewed. The 5, 10 and 15-year survival rates of the 215 patients with follow-up information were 63.4%, 48.2% and 20.2%, respectively. Patho logic staging of the axilla was found to be the most important prognostic factor. Tumor s...

The recognition of several new types of non-Hodgkin’s nosis of NHL was confirmed in 1,378 (98.2%) of the cases. The most common lymphoma types were diffuse large Blymphoma (NHL) in recent years has led to proposals for changing lymphoma classifications, including a new procell lymphoma (31%) and follicular lymphoma (22%), whereas the new entities comprised 21% of the cases. Diagposal put forth ...

A new World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Pleura has recently been published. While the histologic classification of pleural malignant mesothelioma remains the same in the 2015 WHO classification as it was in the 2004 classification, multiple new observations have been recorded. First, more detailed study has been performed of histologic subtyping of epithelioid meso...

PURPOSE Despite research efforts to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) prognosis remains poor. The assessment of tumor response to therapy can be improved by a deeper phenotypical classification of the tumor, with emphasis on its clinico-biological heterogeneity. The identification of molecular profiles is a powerful approach to be...

471 Background: Image-guided percutaneous needle biopsies are increasingly utilized for the diagnosis of renal tumors. Histologic diagnosis of renal mass subtypes, including malignant clear cell (ccRCC), papillary (pRCC), chromophobe (chrRCC) renal cell carcinoma, and benign oncocytomas (OC) can be challenging due to the low cellularity and damaged architecture of needle biopsy specimens. Howev...

Background & objective: The histologic distinction of small cell from non-small cell lung carcinoma and correct identification of all subtypes of lung carcinoma are very important in treatment management. The main method for histologic classification of lung tumors is based on morphology. However, in small bronchoscopic biopsies in par...

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of the sub-classification of renal cortical neoplasms using molecular signatures. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A search of publicly available databases was performed to identify microarray datasets with multiple histologic sub-types of renal cortical neoplasms. Meta-analytic techniques were utilized to identify differentially expressed genes for each histologic subtype...

BACKGROUND Ameloblastoma is a neoplasm classified as a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaws, grow slowly and are locally invasive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence, treatment, and complication of patients with ameloblastoma in East-Indonesia during six years retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 84 patients who were...
