GISTs may occur anywhere along gastrointestinal tract, but most commonly arise in the stomach (40--60%) and jejunum/ileum (25--30%). The clinical presentation of GISTs is highly variable depending on their size, location and presence of mucosal ulceration....

OBJECTIVE Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) has been proved to be safe, efficient and reliable in the diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. This study evaluated specimen adequacy, diagnostic criteria of various pancreatic neoplasms and contamination from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. METHODS EUS-guided FNA of the pancreas and subsequent surgical resections performe...

A multicentre cohort study was carried out to study the possible association between exposure to ethylene oxide and cancer mortality. The cohort consisted of 2658 men from eight chemical plants of six chemical companies in the Federal Republic of Germany who had been exposed to ethylene oxide for at least one year between 1928 and 1981. The number of subjects in the separate plants varied from ...

Introduction The role played by infectious diseases in cancer causation is a timely subject. Infections are associated with some of the most prevalent cancers in the world, such as carcinomas of the stomach, liver, and cervix. Pisani et al. (1) estimates that 15% of malignant neoplasms that occur worldwide are attributable to infections that may be preventable. It is important that we share the...

Relationships between hepatic lesions and chemical contaminant concentrations in sediments, stomach contents, liver tissue, and bile were statistically evaluated in three species of bottomfish, English sole (Pleuronectes vetulus), starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus), and white croaker (Genyonemus lineatus), captured from 27 urban and nonurban sites on the Pacific Coast from Alaska to southe...

CONTEXT The presence of a combined serous cystadenoma and pancreatic endocrine neoplasm is a distinct clinicopathological entity rather than the incidental concurrence of two separate entities. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 52-year-old woman admitted to our hospital who had suffered from epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting for 4 months. Imaging techniques showed an irregular mass havin...

Neoplasms of skeletal muscle origin are very rare in the rat. Recently, we experienced a case of rhabdomyosarcoma as a white mass involving the junction of the esophagus and stomach in the abdominal cavity of a 12-month-old female Donryu rat. Histopathologically, the neoplastic cells composing the mass invasively spreaded from the lamina propia to the tunica serosa in the stomach as well as the...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Regardless of the fact that cancers of GI tract have been reported to be the most common fatal neoplasms in East Azerbaijan, there is a serious lack of population-based studies in this region. METHODS A comprehensive search was therefore undertaken to prospectively register all cases of cancer occurring in the province during March 2006-2007. Diagnosis of cancer was based ...
