results based on the recent researches, certain mmps play critical role in breast cancer initiation, invasion, and metastasis. they can be regarded as predictive biomarkers of primary diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer and have predictive value for evaluation of disease, tumor recurrence, invading of tumor cells to other sites and therapeutic outcomes. conclusions in summary, the results ...

Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. At present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...

Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...

Background: One of the leading causes of death is brain tumors. Accurate tumor classification leads to appropriate decision making and providing the most efficient treatment to the patients. This study aims to optimize brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using optimal threshold, PCA and training Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with different repetitions.Material and Meth...

herein, we report the f-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron emission tomography (pet)/computed tomography (ct) findings of a benign solitary fibrous tumor (sft) of the kidney. the patient was a 63-year-old woman with a mass in the right kidney (10×9.7 cm), incidentally found on ct images. the ct scan showed a lobulated tumor arising from the hilum of the right kidney. the tumor consisted o...

chondrosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor composed of tumor cells producing cartilage. it is more common in older age and often affects the axial skeleton. we report a rare case of chondrosarcoma mimicking a sellar and suprasellar mass with parasellar extension. a 40 yr woman presented with decreasing visual acuity and headache. magnetic resonance (mr) image revealed a cystic sellar and suprasellar...
