A CASE OF GRANULOCYTE-COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR (G-CSF) PRODUCING ESOPHAGEAL CARCINOMA

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) producing malignant pleural mesothelioma: Report of a case

This report presents a case of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) producing granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) that was treated by tumor resection. A 76-year-old male presented with a huge right-side chest wall tumor, along with a slight fever and chest wall pain. Laboratory findings showed an increased white blood cell count (64600 cells/μL) and C-reactive protein level (20.57 mg/...

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for sepsis: a meta-analysis

INTRODUCTION To investigate the effects of G-CSF or GM-CSF therapy in non-neutropenic patients with sepsis. METHODS A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was conducted using specific search terms. A manual review of references was also performed. Eligible studies were randomized control trials (RCTs) that compared granulocyte-colo...

Choroidal metastasis from granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor‐producing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a case report

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is rare. Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease and often spreads hematogenously; however, choroidal metastases are rarely seen. This report detailed an extremely rare case of G-CSF-producing ESCC with choroidal metastasis.

Clinical applications of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF).

Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor producing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a report of 3 cases

Although different types of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing carcinomas have been reported, G-CSF-producing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare. The prognosis of G-CSF-producing esophageal cancer has generally been reported to be very poor. Here, we report three cases of G-CSF-producing SCC who were successfully treated by use of multimodal therapy.
