Activating point mutations of the BRAF gene have been recently reported in papillary thyroid carcinomas. In this study, we analyzed 320 thyroid tumors and six anaplastic carcinoma cell lines and detected BRAF mutations in 45 (38%) papillary carcinomas, two (13%) poorly-differentiated carcinomas, three (10%) anaplastic carcinomas, and five (83%) thyroid anaplastic carcinoma cell lines but not in...
TP53 mutations have been associated with anaplasia in Wilms tumour, which conveys a high risk for relapse and fatal outcome. Nevertheless, TP53 alterations have been reported in no more than 60% of anaplastic tumours, and recent data have suggested their presence in tumours that do not fulfil the criteria for anaplasia, questioning the clinical utility of TP53 analysis. Therefore, we characteri...
Forty-six glioblastomas, 16 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 8 astrocytomas were studied for the loss of the CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) gene on 9p. The CDKN2 locus was homozygously deleted in 19 of 46 glioblastomas (41%) and 1 allele was lost in an additional 13 cases (28%). The deleted regions were limited centromerically in some cases by the MTS2 locus and telomerically by the 1063.7 locus. CDKN2 was homoz...
BACKGROUND The role of β-catenin in cancer has been most studied in tumors of epithelial cell origin. The functional status and biological significance of this protein in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma is unknown. DESIGN AND METHODS ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma cell lines and patients' tumor samples were examined for status of β-catenin...
BACKGROUND A decreased expression of glutathione peroxidase mRNA, an antioxidant enzyme, was previously observed in thyroid anaplastic carcinomas. METHODS To clarify the expression of antioxidant-related enzymes in thyroid anaplastic carcinomas, the expression levels of catalase, copper and zinc superoxide dismutase and manganese superoxide dismutase mRNA in 85 benign and malignant thyroid ti...
This study reports a case of anaplastic transformation from a well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma in a young patient. The first recurrent tissue contained poorly differentiated foci that revealed lower thyroglobulin, thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and galectin-3 expression than the well-differentiated area. However there was no increased p53 or Ki-67 expression in the poorly differen...
INTRODUCTION Anaplastic transformation of well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma at distant metastasis sites is rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an autopsy case of anaplastic transformation of papillary thyroid carcinoma in multiple lung metastases presenting with a malignant pleural effusion. CASE PRESENTATION We report an autopsy case of a 61-year-old...
The NPM-ALK fusion protein is found in ALK(+) anaplastic large cell lymphomas harboring the t(2;5) chromosomal translocation. Patients harboring ALK translocations typically have an excellent prognosis with conventional chemotherapy and a reported 5-year survival rate of 70%. Although most patients with ALK(+) anaplastic large cell lymphoma have a good prognosis, some patients do not respond to...
OBJECTIVE The number of evidences regarding the role of tumor stem cells (TSC) in the initiation and progression of high-grade astrocytomas became more and more numerous in the last years. This issue has been intensively tested in glioblastoma, but little attention has been paid for anaplastic astrocytoma. The main objective of this paper was to study the morphological characteristics of the xe...
BACKGROUND Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) classified as a low Grade (WHO II) astrocytic neoplasm. It is known for its relatively favorable prognosis. It most commonly occurs in young adults. Malignant progression in PXA has been frequently reported since its first description in 1979; however, the presentation of a primary anaplastic PXA tumor with an aggressive clinical course in adults i...
