Clinicopathological Analysis of 21 Thymic Neuroendocrine Tumors
BACKGROUND Thymic neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are uncommon, for which there is no established information available because of a limited number of epidemiological study in Asia. METHODS We reviewed 21 cases of surgically resected thymic NECs, and evaluated their pathological and clinical features. RESULTS It showed male predominance (male/female ratio, 15/6) with wide age range from 20...
متن کاملComparative genomic hybridization analysis of adrenocortical tumors of childhood.
Although several genes have been investigated in adrenal tumorigenesis, the genetic background of adrenocortical tumors (ACT) remains poorly characterized. In southern Brazil, the annual incidence of ACT is unusually high, ranging from 3.4-4.2/million children, compared with a worldwide incidence of 0.3/million children younger than 15 yr. Environmental factors have been implicated because the ...
متن کاملComparative genomic hybridization for molecular cytogenetic analysis of solid tumors.
Comparative genomic hybridization produces a map of DNA sequence copy number as a function of chromosomal location throughout the entire genome. Differentially labeled test DNA and normal reference DNA are hybridized simultaneously to normal chromosome spreads. The hybridization is detected with two different fluorochromes. Regions of gain or loss of DNA sequences, such as deletions, duplicatio...
متن کاملArray comparative genomic hybridization-based characterization of genetic alterations in pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors.
The goal of this study was to characterize and classify pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors based on array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). Using aCGH, we performed karyotype analysis of 33 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors, 13 SCLC cell lines, 19 bronchial carcinoids, and 9 gastrointestinal carcinoids. In contrast to the relatively conserved karyotypes of carcinoid tumors, the karyotyp...
متن کاملGenomic analysis of tumors by array comparative genomic hybridization: more is better.
We read with interest the article by Baldwin et al. (1), which describes the use of an array of 32,433 bacterial artificial chromosome clones tiled across the genome (2, 3) to map genomic aberrations in 20 oral squamous cell carcinoma samples by array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH). The authors conclude that improved detection sensitivity and resolution of tiling arrays is necess...
