Intracranial tumors represent a significant health problem. The annual incidence of primary and secondary central Nervous system neoplasms ranges from 10 to 17 per 100.000 persons. The main histological types of brain tumors in adults include: high-grade (gliomas, primary cerebral lymphomas, medulloblastomas), low-grade (meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, neu‐ rofibromas) and Secondaries (common m...

Systemic chemotherapy is indicated in progressive or bulky advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and in grade 3 (G3) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) as per ENETS Guidelines. Chemotherapy may be considered in NETs of other sites (lung, thymus, stomach, colon, rectum) under certain conditions (e.g., when Ki-67 is at a high level (upper G2 range), in rapidly progressive disease and/or a...

Benign gastric tumours are infrequent. In Eusterman and Senty's (1922) series they amounted to about 0-6% of all gastric neoplasms. A higher incidence has been observed by other workers. Lockwood (1932) encountered benign gastric neoplasms in 45% of his cases, Eliason and Wright (1925) in 4.12%, Marshall (1955) in 4-8%, and Stout (1953) in 16-9% (the last high figure no doubt being due to selec...

Mortality among employees of selected enterprises in which excellent health care programmes are carried on, was observed to evaluate employees' health levels and to establish objectives for future health care programmes. Also, these data were compared with those for all Japanese and for Japanese employees belonging to the corresponding occupational groups. Seventy-three enterprises which contin...

Background: According to the epidemiological studies, consuming olive products can decrease the incidence of the different types of cancers mostly due to the high anti-oxidant properties of their polyphenolic compounds. Objectives: To evaluate the anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative potentials of the olive fruits total polyphenols on the gastric adenocarc...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become accepted as a minimally invasive treatment for gastric neoplasms. However, the development of synchronous or metachronous gastric lesions after endoscopic resection has become a major problem. We investigated the characteristics of multiple gastric neoplasms in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) or gastric adenoma after ESD...

Abnormal proteins have been known for some time to occur in sera from patients with multiple myeloma and other neoplasms of reticulo-endothelial cells, as well as macroglobulinaemia and cryoglobulinaemia (Adams, Alling, and Lawrence, 1949; Fudenberg and Kunkel, 1957; Azar, Hill, and Osserman, 1957; Putnam, 1960; Waldenstrom, 1961; Osserman and Takatsuki, 1963; Sunderman, 1964; Franklin and Lowe...

Peritoneal metastasis occurs in a number of heterogeneous tumors originating from the ovaries, stomach, intestines, pancreas, lungs, breast, and melanoma. carcinomatosis significantly reduces overall survival. While being almost unresponsive to treatment, dissemination tumor cells along peritoneum aggravates course disease. Despite use locoregional peritoneal is still considered be an aggravati...

Spatial autocorrelation methodologies, including Global Moran’s I and Local Indicators of Spatial Association statistic (LISA), were used to describe and map spatial clusters of 13 leading malignant neoplasms in Taiwan. A logistic regression fit model was also used to identify similar characteristics over time. Two time periods (1995-1998 and 2005-2008) were compared in an attempt to formulate ...

Spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. Spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. In the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. This article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology. ...
