Histologically benign or low-grade malignant tumors adjacent to high-grade ovarian carcinomas contain molecular characteristics of high-grade carcinomas.
It is presently not clear if ovarian carcinomas arise de novo or from benign precursors (cystadenomas) and if high-grade malignant tumors (carcinomas) develop from preexisting low-grade carcinomas. The presence of allelic losses on chromosome 11p15.5 distinguishes high-grade ovarian carcinomas from either low-grade carcinomas or cystadenomas. We therefore examined the distribution of such losse...
متن کاملHuman epidermal growth factor receptor-2 overexpression and amplification in metastatic and recurrent high grade or type 2 endometrial carcinomas
INTRODUCTION Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2 overexpression or gene amplification is more common in high-grade or type 2 endometrial carcinomas. We assessed the discordance of HER-2 expression between primary and metastatic or recurrent endometrial carcinomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six primary, along with 14 metastatic and five recurrent tumors (matched to primaries), pa...
متن کاملEvaluation of HER2/neu Expression in High-Grade Endometrial Carcinoma and Its Clinicopathological Correlation
Background & Objective: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) has been traditionally classified into two distinct categories of low-grade and high-grade. Type I (low grade) EC, which constitutes the majority of cases, is linked to estrogen-related molecular pathways. But type II (high-grade) EC accounts for 10-20% of cases and behaves in an aggressive way. Pathologic and biological featur...
متن کاملFallopian tube origin of supposed ovarian high‐grade serous carcinomas
INTRODUCTION Serous carcinomas are the most frequent histologic type of ovarian and peritoneal cancers, and can also be detected in the endometrium and fallopian tubes. Serous carcinomas are usually high-grade neoplasms when diagnosed, yet the identification of an associated precursor lesion remains challenging. Pathological examination of specimens obtained from prophylactic bilateral salpingo...
متن کامل“Dedifferentiation” and High-Grade Transformation in Salivary Gland Carcinomas
"Dedifferentiation" and/or high-grade transformation (HGT) has been described in a variety of salivary gland carcinomas, including acinic cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma, myoepithelial carcinoma, low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma and hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma, although the phenomenon is a rare event. Rec...
