Background: Lung cancer most common worldwide cancer, early diagnosis makes effective treatment in lung cancer. Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) for non-gynae specimens has gained popularity over conventional Cytology (CS) during last one decade because of increased sensitivity and specificity. Aim and objectives: To assess the diagnostic utility of LBC versus CS in fine needle aspirates of lung and...

BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPV) types 16 and 18 are clearly involved in the etiology of cervical cancer, but the evidence for the carcinogenicity of other HPV types is limited. Cofactors involved in the progression from infection with HPV to high-grade precursors and cancer have not been clearly defined by the results of previous studies. METHODS We conducted a hospital-based, case-co...

1.3.1. Histopathologic types (according to World Health Organization/ International Society of Gynecological Pathology classification) All tumors are to be microscopically verified. The histopathologic types are: • Endometrioid carcinoma: adenocarcinoma; adenoacanthoma (adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia); and adenosquamous carcinoma (mixed adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). • Mu...

Background: Currently immune checkpoint pathways of PD1-PD-L1 is being used to treat lung cancer and PD-L1 served as predictive biomarker. Investigations expression a target immunotherapy in specimens Indonesia needed. This study aimed evaluate resected using immunohistochemistry techniques. Methods: Thirty surgically sample from patients were obtained. The whole stained by techniques automatic...

An adenosquamous carcinoma of the endometrium is one which contains both malignant glandular and malignant squamous components; such tumours are considered rare in Britain but are thought to account for nearly one-third of all endometrial neoplasms in the United States. A survey of 675 cases of endometrial cancer seen during the period 1956-75 showed that the incidence of adenosquamous carcinom...

Primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver is a very rare type of cholangiocarcinoma and is defined as a cancer containing both squamous and adenomatous components in the same lesion. Recently, we experienced a primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver presented as liver abscess. A 63-year-old man was presented with a 4-day history of fever and chill. The radiologic study showed a 4 cm-siz...

RATIONALE Leptomeningeal metastasis from cervical adenosquamous carcinoma is extremely rare especially after radiotherapy for vertebral metastasis. PATIENT CONCERNS A 52-year-old woman with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIB adenosquamous carcinoma of cervix presented with bilateral lower limbs weakening after 2 courses radiotherapy to thoracic vertebral me...

BACKGROUND Peritoneum metastasis of lung cancer is a rare event which, in addition to the peritoneum, usually involves multiple metastatic tissues. Here we report a case of a patient with lung adenosquamous cell carcinoma with the peritoneum as the sole distant metastatic site. CASE PRESENTATION An 82-year-old Han Chinese man, in the teaching profession, was diagnosed with lung adenosquamous ...

Squamous cell carcinoma-related antigen (SCC-Ag), first described by Kato and Torigoe in 1977, has been cited by various workers as a serological marker for some epithelial neoplasms. The most well-studied is its association with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. In January 1989, we embarked on a prospective, multivariate study at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur to assess the usefulness of...

study due to chronic anemia. The microscopical study exhibited a malignant tumor composed of two different epithelial cell types (Fig. 1), with an infiltrating growth pattern, and wide necrotic and hemorrhage areas. Nearly 60% of the tumor was an atypical polygonal cell proliferation with intercellular bridges, keratin, and presence of pearl corns (Fig. 2), which was a squamous carcinoma. The r...
