Imaging molecular signatures in oligodendroglioma.
In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Walker et al. (1) report a comprehensive analysis of metabolic rate, tumor grade, contrast enhancement, and molecular genetic alterations in oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas. Brain tumor metabolism was assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using two radiolabeled tracers, thallium (Tl) and [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Tl...
متن کاملSpinal Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma With Oligodendrogliomatosis: Molecular Markers and Management: Case Report.
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Spinal cord oligodendrogliomas are rare tumors, with a reported incidence varying between 0.8% and 4.7% of all spinal cord tumors and just over 50 cases reported in the literature. Of these, only 9 cases are histologically defined as anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, with few having complete molecular characterization. The diffuse tumor spread that can occur along the sub...
متن کاملHypertrophy, pathology, and molecular markers of cardiac pathogenesis.
Increased ventricular expression of several genes, including atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), has been documented in experimental models of cardiac hypertrophy. It remains to be clarified whether altered expression of these genes is a consistent marker of the hypertrophy itself or a marker of some parallel pathogenetic process. Using a transgenic mouse model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as a ...
متن کاملMolecular pathology in adult gliomas: diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers.
Over the past 10 years, there has been an increasing use of molecular markers in the assessment and management of adult malignant gliomas. Some molecular signatures are used diagnostically to help pathologists classify tumours, whereas others are used to estimate prognosis for patients. Most crucial, however, are those markers that are used to predict response to certain therapies, thereby dire...
متن کاملImmune-Mediated Arthritis: Molecular Mechanisms and Comparative Pathology
Immune-mediated Arthritides in Humans Humans suffer from several immune-mediated arthritides. These diseases are segregated based mainly by their clinical features and patterns of joint involvement, as their underlying mechanisms are different. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by erosions of small joints, particularly those of wrists (intercarpal joints), ankles (intertarsal joints), ...
