Intussusception is a rare form of intestinal obstruction in adults. Most cases are caused by malignant lesions in the intestinal wall, which in exceptional cases are caused by metastases. The initial manifestation of lung cancer as metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare event. In most cases metastases are diagnosed after the primary lung tumour, when potentially life-thre...

background: e-cadherin is a calcium-dependent molecule that contributes to intercellular adhesion. its proper functioning is important in the maintenance of epithelial structure and integrity. e-cadherin serves as a very important tumor suppressor. in this study, we aimâ to determineâ the frequencyâ of e-cadherin expression aberrancy and its relationship to theâ biologicalâ behavior of gastric ...

Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes death worldwide. Hispanic/Latino patients, have previously demonstrated to clinicopathological features related a worse prognosis, including high prevalence metastatic disease, young age, more proportion diffuse type cancers and higher rate mortality. Nevertheless, analysis overall survival comparing number metastases among advanced gastric adenocarci...

Objectives: Gastric carcinoma (GC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related tumor deaths worldwide. The prognostic significance CD44, CD133 and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression in GC remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate relationship HER2 with clinicopathological features metastatic non-metastatic patients. Methods: A total 139 patients (68...

Most malignant rectal tumors are histopathologically characterized as adenocarcinoma and generally metastasize to distant organs such as the lungs or the liver. Metastasis of rectal carcinomas to the skull is extremely rare. This study reports the initial diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma recurrence in a 65-year-old female with scalp metastasis. The patient's history indicated a colorectal ade...

We present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. Whole body 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. That revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. Additionally tracer activity ...
