Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism and occurs in one percent of cases. Most of the patients at the time of diagnosis are young and the mean age is 40 year-old and occur with equal frequency in both sexes. In most series, serum calcium levels are ≽ 14 mg/dl and in half of them, a palpable cervical mass is evident. Clinical manifestations are maily due to hyperca...

Although galectin-1 and integrin α5β1 confer chemoresistance to certain types of cancer, whether their expression predicts the response to cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in squamous cervical cancer remains unclear. Paired tumor samples (pre- and post-chemotherapy) were obtained from 35 bulky squamous cervical cancer patients treated with cisplatin-based NACT and radical hystere...

Herpesvirus type 2 (HSV-2) has been associated with squamous cancer of the human cervix on the basis of seroepidemiological data. Findings providing information on the basis of the association of the HSV-2 genome with cervical cancer cells are presented. A herpesvirus isolated from de generated cervical tumor cells grown in vitro is identified as a type 2 on the basis of biological and immunolo...

Rare cervical cancers are responsible for a minority of cases encountered by a clinician. However, behavioral patterns, management, and prognosis of certain rare cervical cancers differ from either squamous carcinomas or adenocarcinomas. Here we present a case of a locally advanced cervical tumor as a presentation of an extranodal cervical non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with a review of the curren...

background: the development and progression of human tumors is accompanied by various cellular biochemical and genetic alterations. these events include tumor cells interaction with extracellular matrix molecules including hyaluronan and hyaluronan binding protein (ha-habp). hyaluronan is a large polysaccharide associated with pericellular matrix of proliferating, migrating cells, regulation of...

El cáncer del cuello uterino (CCU) es una enfermedad multifactorial, que se desarrolla generalmente en la zona de transformación unión escamocolumnar uterino, a partir lesiones precursoras después ha ocurrido infección por el virus papiloma humano, presencia otros cofactores: genéticos, ambientales. útero, cérvix o simplemente, cervicouterino causa más frecuente morbimortalidad ginecológico y 5...

Cervical cancer has become a most lethal and extensive gynecological malignancy, mainly because of the complete absence symptoms in early stage disease lack diagnostic markers. Several studies have found that deoxyribonucleic acid methylation plays an important role development cervical without altering sequence genomic acid. Zinc finger protein 582 is on chromosome 19 contains Kruppel-associat...

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor is a recently described, rare and distinctive type of gestational trophoblastic tumor. We report the case of a 31-year old patient who had a full-term pregnancy 18 months before presentation. She had a right axillary lymph node metastasis and was referred for FDG-PET/CT scan for evaluation of distant metastasis and to detect primary malignancy. The axillary lymph...

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the world. In this study, we explore tumor markers and microRNA-466 combination for cervical cancer screening. Tumor markers were measured by the methods of electro-chemiluminescent immunoassay and enzyme immunoassay. The microRNA-466 was performed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Among normal group, hyperplasia gr...
