p53 tumour suppressor gene expression in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour cells.
Neuroendocrine pancreatic tumours grow slower and metastasise later than ductal and acinar carcinomas. The expression of the p53 tumour suppressor gene in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour cells is unknown. Pancreatic neuroendocrine cell lines (n = 5) and human tumour tissues (n = 19) were studied for changed p53 coding sequence, transcription, and translation. Proliferative activity of tumour c...
متن کاملPancreatic neuroendocrine tumors among patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms: real association or just a coincidence?
CONTEXT Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are being recognized with increased frequency and are the most common indication of pancreatic surgery at specialized centers. Many IPMN patients are found to have non-IPMN related pancreatic tumors like pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNTs). OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of PNTs among patients with IPMN. METHODS Patients who un...
متن کاملBreast metastasis from the pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor origin detected by 99mTc-Octreotate scan
A 50 years old woman with history of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed 2 years ago, which has not been surgically removed,was referred to our department for a 99mTc-Octreotate in order to evaluate the somatostatin receptor status. She was treated with regular sandostatin injections and chemotherapy. Her CT scan which was previously performed confirmed lung, adrenal and hepati...
متن کاملTumour diameter is not reliable for management of non-secreting pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours
Small non-functioning pancreatic NETs (pNETs) ≤2 cm can pose a management dilemma in terms of surveillance or resection. There is evidence to suggest that a surveillance approach can be considered since there are no significant radiological changes observed in lesions during long-term follow-up. However, other studies have suggested loco-regional spread can be present in ≤2 cm pNETs. The aim of...
متن کاملRenal Cell Carcinoma and a Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Coincidence or Instance of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease?
We herein report a rare case of a 79-year-old man who presented with the simultaneous occurrence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) and renal cell carcinomas (RCC), without any other Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-associated lesions or any pertinent family history. Computed tomography showed vascular-rich solid lesions in the left kidney and the pancreatic tail, measuring 72 mm and 15 mm in si...
