Elastosis and cancer.
Recently we have shown that the autofluorescence within or just outside of a malignant tumor is rather small or large resp. in comparison to healthy tissue when excited at 365 nm. Studies with unfixed, unstained cryosections of skin with melanomas have revealed bulky fiber-like structures with a high fluorescence intensity just outside of a malignant tumor. Using polarized light, the structures...
متن کاملElastosis in relation to prognosis in primary breast carcinoma.
The content of elastic tissue has been evaluated in 171 primary breast carcinomas. Of the tumors, 35% had no or very little elastic tissue in the malignant areas, 42% presented with medium elastosis, and 22% had gross elastosis. The occurrence of elastin has been related to different prognostic factors. An increasing amount of elastin was found with increasing amounts of estrogen receptor (p = ...
متن کاملThe presence of a type IV collagen skeleton associated with periductal elastosis in breast cancer.
Using serial sections of frozen and AFA-fixed tissues from 34 breast cancers, we studied the presence of basement membrane material in the areas of elastosis. Various amounts of type IV collagen but not of laminin were demonstrated in areas of periductal elastosis. In some tumors, type IV collagen accumulated beneath the basement membrane. Periductal elastosis in areas of extensive fibrosis sho...
متن کاملPrognostic value of measurement of elastosis in breast carcinoma.
The extent of elastosis in the stroma within the anatomical "tumour" in 80 patients with breast carcinoma was assessed by observational microscopy using a 4-point grading system, and measured by semiautomated histometry as an area percentage with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer. In this retrospective study, measurement of elastosis in tissue removed at time of initial diagnosis was sho...
متن کاملBreast Cancer in Men
Male breast cancer is one of the rare malignancies. Clinically it usually a fixed mass in the breast in the seventh decade of life. Metabolic disorders and gynecomastia and Klinefelter's syndrome are important predisr,osing factors. Primary management is simple mastectomy plus regio:ial lymph node irradiation.
