background: definite data regarding the incidence and distribution of renal tumours in eastern india is not known. for better management, as it is essential to identify patients with poor prognosis, prognostic factors like stage, nuclear grade and their relationship to molecular markers are also unclear in this region. the purpose of our study was to assess the spectrum of adult renal tumours w...

INTRODUCTION: Heterogeneity of cartilage tumours may confound accurate diagnosis and grading resulting in under and over treatment. Improved preoperative assessment of malignancy and grade would be invaluable for developing a rational plan for treatment. We examined correlations between nuclear tracer avidity and malignancy grade in cartilage tumours. METHODS: Between 1996 and 2000, 92 consecut...

To investigate the relationships of specific allelic losses to progression and histological grade of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, we studied PCR-amplified microsatellite markers on ten chromosomal arms in 41 cases of DCIS without synchronous invasive cancer. For all chromosomal arms combined, the number of allelic losses was significantly greater in lesions of intermediate or ...

PURPOSE Patients with recurrent breast cancer usually die of their disease, even after radical surgery and adjuvant therapies which could reduce the odds of dying. Many studies analyzed and compared patients who died of recurrent disease with those that died without recurrent disease. However, less attention has been paid to evaluating factors associated with the timing of recurrence. Thus, the...

We describe the smallest incision cataract removal technique, Microphakonit, in which bimanual phacoemulsification can be performed with a 0.7 mm phaco tip and 0.7 mm irrigating chopper. Cortical removal is done using 22 gauge or 0.7 mm irrigation/aspiration instruments. The technique was used for 25 adult human eyes with grade 2 nuclear sclerosis and 5 adult human eyes with grade 3 nuclear scl...

Previous work has shown that the material properties of nuclear grade graphite are substantially affected by atomic and microstructural changes occur during neutron-irradiation. The parameters play a role in these irradiation dose, temperature, composition initial microstructure graphite. Understanding details how exactly what consists will enable prediction property as function variables. Othe...

Background and Objectives: RCC is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. Accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. P53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle ar...

Background and Aims: P504S (AMACR) is a mitochondrial enzyme expressed in renal cell carcinoma. Some of immunohistochemical markers in renal cell tumors are independent prognostic factor and show relation with histologic grading. AMACR expression increases with higher histological grading in different tumors; however, in RCC it is not obvious. In this study, we tried to investigate if ...
