Ki67—An unsuitable marker of gastric cancer prognosis unmasks intratumoral heterogeneity
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Due to contradictious findings of previous studies regarding Ki67's value in gastric cancer (GC), we reevaluated the expression of Ki67 in whole tissue sections (WTS) and tissue microarrays (TMAs) of GC testing the following hypotheses: does Ki67 show intratumoral heterogeneity; are TMAs representative in the determination of the Ki67 proliferation index (PI); is the K...
متن کاملIntratumoral metabolic heterogeneity of cervical cancer.
PURPOSE Previous research has shown that the intertumoral maximum standardized uptake value (SUVMax) of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) for cervical cancer predicts disease outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pretreatment intratumoral metabolic heterogeneity of FDG. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study of 72 patients with I...
متن کاملHigh Intratumoral Expression of Tetranectin Associates with Poor Prognosis of Patients with Gastric Cancer after Gastrectomy
Tetranectin, encoded by the clec3b gene, is a plasminogen kringle-4 binding protein that can be detected in the plasma and the extracellular matrix. In malignancies, tetranectin is thought to enhance proteolytic processes enabling tumor cells to invade and metastasize. Nevertheless, the prognostic value of tetranectin in gastric cancer remains elusive. In this study, we found the expression of ...
متن کاملIntratumoral Heterogeneity of MicroRNA Expression in Rectal Cancer
INTRODUCTION An increasing number of studies have investigated microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential markers of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. So far, agreement between studies has been minimal, which may in part be explained by intratumoral heterogeneity of miRNA expression. The aim of the present study was to assess the heterogeneity of a panel of selected miRNAs in rectal cancer, using two di...
متن کاملEvolution of intratumoral genetic heterogeneity during colorectal cancer progression.
Evolution of intratumoral genetic heterogeneity during colorectal tumor progression has not been investigated so far. Multiple sample areas in colorectal adenocarcinoma at early and advanced stages and in metastases were studied for the well-known genetic alterations: K-ras and p53 point mutations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 5q and 18q. In primary colorectal cancers (CRCs), ...
