Morphologic features of neuroblastoma (Schwannian stroma-poor tumors) in clinically favorable and unfavorable groups.
BACKGROUND After the establishment of the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification system, the authors studied retrospectively the prognostic impact of morphologic features in a series of two clinically distinct subsets of patients with peripheral neuroblastic tumors (NTs), i.e., tumors in the neuroblastoma category. METHODS Forty-seven NTs categorized into either clinically favor...
متن کاملClinicopathological considerations on angiogenic potential in neuroblastoma Schwannian stroma - poor tumours.
The aim of the study was to determine microscopic angiogenic parameters of neuroblastoma (NB) Schwannian stroma-poor tumours. Furthermore the associations between vascular parameters and clinicopathological features of tumours and basic prognostic factors were analysed. Examined tissue samples from 62 NB came from 39 untreated and 23 chemotherapy pretreated tumours. The clinicopathological data...
متن کاملSchwann cell-conditioned medium inhibits angiogenesis.
Neuroblastomas are biologically heterogeneous tumors that consist of two main cell populations: neuroblastic/ganglionic cells and Schwann cells. The amount of Schwannian stroma strongly impacts prognosis, and favorable outcome is associated with tumors that are Schwannian stroma rich/stroma dominant. At the present time, there is controversy regarding the origin of Schwann cells in neuroblastom...
متن کاملRole of CXCL13-CXCR5 crosstalk between malignant neuroblastoma cells and Schwannian stromal cells in neuroblastic tumors.
Neuroblastoma is a stroma-poor (SP) aggressive pediatric cancer belonging to neuroblastic tumors, also including ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma, two stroma-rich (SR) less aggressive tumors. Our previous gene-expression profiling analysis showed a different CXCL13 mRNA expression between SP and SR tumors. Therefore, we studied 13 SP and 13 SR tumors by reverse transcription quantitative...
متن کاملProminent microvascular proliferation in clinically aggressive neuroblastoma.
PURPOSE Tumor vasculature is disorganized and glomeruloid microvascular proliferation (MVP) has been identified as a poor prognosticator in some adult cancers. To determine the clinical significance of MVP, including glomeruloid MVP in neuroblastoma, we initially examined vessel architecture in tumor sections from 51 children diagnosed at Children's Memorial Hospital (CMH) and subsequently eval...
