متن کاملThe revised tumor-node-metastasis staging system for lung cancer: changes and perspectives.
The tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for lung cancer has been modified since its first edition in the late 1960s.

Significant changes have been made in the tumor and metastasis descriptors. Although the recommendations for t...
متن کاملApplications of a novel tumor-grading-metastasis staging system for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
The ability to stratify patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs) into prognostic groups has been hindered by the absence of a commonly accepted staging system. Both the 7th tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging guidelines by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the 2010 grading classifications by the World Health Organization (WHO) were validated to be unsatisfactory.W...
متن کاملThymic Epithelial Tumor with Heart Metastasis in a Horse
Thymic malignancy is rare in horses. Thymic epithelial tumor was diagnosed in an 18-year-old mare with invasion and metastasis to the pericardium and heart. At necropsy, the cranial thoracic cavity was obliterated by a large mass located in the thymic region and the right atrium was also expanded and effaced by a similar mass. Histologically, the neoplasm was composed of sheets of spindle cells...
