Morphologic, Molecular and Clinical Features of Aggressive Variant Prostate Cancer

Clinical and Pathological Features of Iraqi Patients with Prostate Cancer

Background: The clinical pathological features were detected by measuring the prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) activity according to the stages and grades of prostate cancer. We also explored the relationship between the disease and age with family history among the patients. Methods: Data were collected from direct interview and from the patient’s records. Blood samples that collected before ...

Targeted molecular-genetic imaging and ligand-directed therapy in aggressive variant prostate cancer.

Aggressive variant prostate cancers (AVPC) are a clinically defined group of tumors of heterogeneous morphologies, characterized by poor patient survival and for which limited diagnostic and treatment options are currently available. We show that the cell surface 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), a receptor that binds to phage-display-selected ligands, such as the SNTRVAP motif, is a ca...

XWH - 05 - 1 - 0562 TITLE : Molecular and Clinical Predictors of Aggressive Prostate Cancer

Consensus Molecular Subtypes of Colorectal Cancer and their Clinical Implications

The colorectal cancer (CRC) subtyping consortium has unified six independent molecular classification systems, based on gene expression data, into a single consensus system with four distinct groups, known as the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS); clinical implications are discussed in this review based on articles relevant to the CMS of CRC indexed in PubMed as well as the authors’ own ...

Obesity, age, ethnicity, and clinical features of prostate cancer patients.

Approximately 36.5% of the U.S. adults (≥ 20 years old) are obese. Obesity has been associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and several types of cancer. The present study included 1788 prostate cancer patients who were treated with radical prostatectomy at the Ochsner Health System, New Orleans, Louisiana, from January, 2001 to March, 2016. The patient's medica...
