Utility of Nuclear Morphometry in Predicting Grades of Diffusely Infiltrating Gliomas
Introduction. The ability to reliably differentiate neoplastic from nonneoplastic specimen and ascertain the tumour grade of diffusely infiltrating gliomas (DIGs) is often challenging. Aims and Objective. To evaluate utility of image morphometry in identifying DIG areas and to predict tumour grade. Materials and Methods. Image morphometry was used to analyze the following nuclear features of 30...
متن کاملFactors predicting progression of low-grade diffusely infiltrating astrocytoma.
BACKGROUND Low-grade diffuse astrocytoma (DA) is considered benign tumor (World Health Organization [WHO] grade II), but it has an inherent tendency for malignant progression, which is quite variable. AIM To identify malignant progression in an individual case of DA, we studied the clinico-radiological and immunohistochemical factors and correlated with progression of DA at a dedicated tertia...
متن کاملIdentification of an alternatively spliced isoform of carbonic anhydrase XII in diffusely infiltrating astrocytic gliomas.
Carbonic anhydrase XII (CA XII) is a transmembrane enzyme that is associated with neoplastic growth. CA XII has been proposed to be involved in acidification of the extracellular milieu, creating an appropriate microenvironment for rapid tumor growth. Because RNA sequence databases have indicated that two isoforms of CA XII might exist in human tissues, and because alternatively spliced protein...
متن کاملUtility of Nuclear Morphometry with ImageJ in Effusion Cytology
An effusion denotes pathological accumulation of fluids in the serous cavities resulting from several nonneoplastic and neoplastic causes. Cytological diagnosis of effusion fluids is an important investigation to determine the appropriate treatment.The distinction of reactive mesothelial cells from carcinoma cells can sometimes prove to be a diagnostic challenge even for the experienced cytopat...
متن کاملManagement of diffusely infiltrating glioma in the elderly.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genetic, epigenetic, and expression analyses have refined the traditional, histopathology-based classification of diffusely infiltrating gliomas. This review summarizes these trends and implications for elderly patients. RECENT FINDINGS The vast majority of diffusely infiltrating gliomas in elderly patients share an unfavorable molecular phenotype, that is, telomerase revers...
