Benign and malignant thyroid lesions show instability at microsatellite loci.
Forty-six benign and malignant tumours and tumour-like lesions of the thyroid were analysed for microsatellite instability (MI) at eight loci, mapping to four different chromosomes, 7 lesions (15%) displayed MI at one or more loci, including 2/13 nodular goitres, 2/15 follicular adenomas, 2/12 papillary carcinomas and 1/4 follicular carcinomas. Two benign and one malignant lesion among the seve...
متن کاملMalignant melanomas of the iris.
The recognition of iris melanoma is important because a number of benign lesions clinically resemble these tumors. In this article, the epidemiological, clinical and histopathological features, treatment modalities, and prognosis of 41 iris melanoma patients, seen between 1964 and 1996 were evaluated. Of the patients, 20 were men and 21 women. Their mean age was 44.6 years. After determining th...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability in hematological malignancies
The genome of colorectal carcinomas displaying pronounced microsatellite instability codes for an extraordinarily high number of mutated proteins that elicit tumor-specific cellular immune responses. We have recently demonstrated that leukemic cells are also vulnerable to T cells specific for tumor-associated antigens produced in the context of microsatellite instability. This finding extends o...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability in endometrial polyps.
OBJECTIVE(S) To investigate the prevalence of microsatellite instability (MSI) in endometrial polyps and to evaluate whether there are clinical and histopathological parameters associated with this kind of instability. STUDY DESIGN Between September 2008 and April 2009, endometrial polyps were collected from 109 patients. MSI was evaluated using the NCI recommended markers BAT25, BAT26, D2S12...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability in colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. In 75% CRC develops sporadically, in 25% hereditary or as a consequence of inflammatory bowel disease. CRC carcinogenesis develops over many years. The cause of CRC in 85% is chromosomal instability (CIN) and in 15% microsatellite instability (MSI-H), where hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) represen...
