Lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide. According to Global Burden of Disease Study 2015, lung also leading cause mortality. Therefore, faced with a diagnosis cancer, likelihood an unfavorable outcome considerably high, as occurred patient in this study. Thus, case report about importance institution palliative care patients presence malignant neoplasms, incurable character, so tha...

Calcitonin-secreting neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung are rare, with few cases reported in literature. Differentiating between medullary thyroid carcinoma and an ectopic source calcitonin secretion can represent a complex diagnostic conundrum for managing physicians, unnecessary thyroidectomy This manuscript reports case hypercalcitonaemia from metastatic neoplasm concurrent pathology summa...

UNLABELLED Because of improvements in diagnostic technology, the incidental detection of synchronous primary tumors during the preoperative work-up of patients with esophageal cancer has increased. The aim of this study was to determine the rate and clinical relevance of synchronous neoplasms seen on (18)F-FDG PET in staging of esophageal cancer. METHODS From January 1996 to July 2004, 366 pa...

Primary lung myoepithelial carcinomas are rare neoplasms arising from the salivary glands of the respiratory epithelium. Given the rare occurrences and reports of these tumors, appropriate recommendations for resection are difficult to formulate. Although classified as low-grade neoplasms, these tumors have a significant rate of recurrence and distant metastasis.

We report a rare complication of a secondary malignant solid tumor in two patients with non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma who developed lung adenocarcinoma after treatments with combination chemotherapies. The first was a case of primary malignant lymphoma of the cervical spinal cord which had been previously treated with radiation to the spinal lesion and combination chemotherapies and entered ...

Abraham (1) and Schutt (2), employing the method of continuous polyacrylamide electrophoresis for the sepa^ ration of serum proteins, found abnormal variations of haptoglobin levels together with those of transferrin (these proteins being a2and j3-globulins respectively), which gave a good indication for an early diagnosis of bronchial neoplasms. These authors reported (1,2) that in patients wi...

Diagnosis and classification of lung and pleural neoplasms are complex due to diverse histopathology and tumor heterogeneity. A large number of immunohistochemical markers have recently become available to facilitate accurate diagnosis and classification of pulmonary and pleural neoplasms. The purpose of this article is to review the current data available on these markers and to provide a prac...

The skin and lung tissues from SENCAR mice used as part of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Carcinogenesis Testing Matrix were examined. This study included SENCAR mice used in three different short-term bioassay protocols in which the skin papilloma assay was used to identify initiators, promoters, and complete carcinogens. Also included were the pathology findings from SENCAR mic...

Malignant neoplasms diagnosed histologically in the state of Sabah during the period November 1983 to October 1988 were analysed to determine the distribution of malignant neoplasms according to site, age, sex and major ethnic groups. The five commonest malignant neoplasms in males were carcinomas of the nasopharynx, stomach, skin, lung and liver. In females the five commonest malignant neoplas...
