Abstract Objectives Liver transplantation (LT) can benefit the long-term survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. We hypothesized that circulating tumor cell (CTC) levels and subtypes are intimately associated with metastasis status HCC This study was designed to test compositive hematological indices including CTC provide a prediction post-LT metastasis. Methods Between 2017 2018, ...

Objective(s): Metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with melanoma. Cannabis-based medicines are effective adjunctive drugs in cancer patients. Tau and Stathmin proteins are the key proteins in cancer metastasis. Here we have investigated the effect of a standardized Cannabis sativa extract on cell migration and Tau and Stathmin gene expression in the melanoma cell line. Materials an...

A drastic difference exists between the 5-year survival rates of colorectal cancer patients with localized and distal organ metastasis. The liver is most favorable for metastases from colorectum. Beyond liver-colon anatomic relationship, emerging evidence highlights impact immune microenvironment on Prior to cell dissemination, hepatocytes secrete multiple factors recruit or activate cells stro...

Objective: To analyze the surgical treatment of liver metastases from advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) during either primary or interval debulking surgery (PDS IDS). Data sources, methods study selection: A systematic research literature was conducted in Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library, including observational prospective, retrospective studies, case series reports. Tabu...

metastasis from a malignant tumor to the palatine tonsils is rare, accounting for only 0.8% of all tonsillar tumors, with only 100 cases reported in the english-language literature. various malignant lung carcinomas may metastasize to the tonsils. a few cases of tonsillar metastasis from neuroendocrine lung carcinoma have been reported. a 67-year-old female underwent a right tonsillectomy becau...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid. It is stated that lung is the most common site of metastasis followed by bone. The incidence of paranasal sinus (PNS) metastasis is fairly uncommon in case of thyroid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, no case of metastatic PTC to nasal cavity has been reported. In thi...

Implantation metastasis occurs when tumor seeds into a wound or tissue by a significant amount of viable tumor cells. Here we describe the case of a 30-year-old man suffering from pain and swelling of the foot, which was misdiagnosed as a bone cyst. Surgery was performed involving curettage followed by bone grafting. After surgical pathology, the exact diagnosis was revealed as the synovial sar...

Thyroid gland metastatic tumors are rare in clinical practice. Clear cell RCC is one of common metastatic tumors to thyroid. We here reported a case of incidentally found clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid gland 3 years after nephrectomy, in the thyroidectomy procedure performed for the patient due to the thyroid enlargement caused by multinodular goiter. A 65-year-old Iranian...

  ABSTRACT   Soft tissue sarcomas of the oral cavity are uncommon malignancies those of smooth-muscle origin are extremely rare. Leiomyosarcomas of the tongue are very rare. Either surgery or radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy are the treatment modalities which improve prognosis. We are presenting a 32-year-old man with leiomyosarcoma of the lateral aspect of the oral tongue with ne...
