Advances in Ewing's sarcoma research: where are we now and what lies ahead?

چکیده
Ewing's sarcoma family tumors (EFT) are characterized by specific chromosomal translocations, which lead to EWS/ETS transcription factors. Elucidation of EWS/ETS target gene networks within the context of other signaling pathways, together with the identification of the initiating cell, and the development of genetically engineered mice will hopefully lead to biology-based therapeutic strategies for these tumors.

Background: Ewing's sarcoma is one of the most malignant tumors in children and young adults. Only a few established cell lines of Ewing's sarcoma have been reported, which makes it difficult to study the biological features of these tumors. We have recently established a new Ewing's sarcoma cell line designated SS-ES-1, originating from a thoracic tumor of a 16-year-old female patient. The SS-...
متن کاملRenal Ewing\'s sarcoma with the spread of tumor thrombosis to the inferior vena cava: case report
Background: Ewing's sarcoma/Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a group of tumors with small round cells that originate from nerve stem cells. They are generally more common in children and often occur in the soft or bony tissues of the limbs, trunk, head, and neck. Ewing's sarcoma is a rare disease in the kidney and its tumor thrombosis into Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) is assumed as a very ...
متن کاملMalignant Small Round Cell Tumor Originating In The Thoracopulmonary Region " Askin Tumor "
SUMMARY Askin tumor is a peripheral neuroepithelioma originating in chest wall. It is a very aggressive tumor and with Ewing's sarcoma are the most frequent tumors of chest wall. The tumor is composed of small round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets with pseudorossette formation. Some times around vessels, glycogen staining is some times positive in H & E but always positive in E.M. In E.M be...
متن کاملA Case Report of Ewing\'s Sarcoma of Tibial Epiphysis with Retrobulbar Mass
Ewing's sarcoma is a relatively common malignant bone tumor that typically occurs in long bone diaphyses of adolescents and young adults of 10-30 years old. Often times, all Ewing's sarcoma of bone have radiographic abnormalities. Diagnosis is usually delayed and can be misdiagnosed as osteomyelitis. Bone to bone metastasis occurs, but soft tissue retro bulbar metastas...
