Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) tends to metastasize to remote organs rather than local lymph nodes. Separation of FTC from follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) relies on detection of vascular and/or capsular invasion. We investigated which vascular markers, CD31, CD34 and D2-40 (lymphatic vessel marker), can best evaluate vascular invasion and why FTC tends to metastasize via blood stream to re...

testicular cancer is one of the commonest cancers in men of working age, and is increasing in incidence in europe and north america. one suggested mechanism of causation is that there is impaired differentiation of germ cells in the pre- or perinatal period, followed by malignant transformation in later life, possibly by a hormonal mechanism. endocrine disrupting chemicals (edcs) have been a ma...

METHODS Regional amputee registries were used to estimate the rate of lower extremity amputations with the capture-recapture (CR) technique.

A 62-year-old man with a soft, non-tender, movable mass 2.5 x 2.5-cm in diameter in the volar surface of the right index finger over the proximal phalanx underwent Tc-99m RBC perfusion and blood-pool scintigraphy to evaluate the vascular nature and extent of the mass. Highly increased activity on early and delayed blood-pool images with increased perfusion was demonstrated in the mass. The lesi...
