Objective(s): Studies have indicated advantageous properties of [DOTA-DPhe1 , Tyr3 ] octreotide (DOTATOC) in tumor models and labeling with gallium. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women, and most of these cancers are often an adenocarcinoma. Due to the importance of target to non-target ratios in the efficacy of diagnosis, the pharmacokinetic of 68Ga-DOTATOC in...

ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (opa) was studied in the lungs of 15 naturally-affected sheep (9 with classical and 6 atypical lesions) by transmission electron microscopy. two lung samples from normal sheep were used to develop the ultrastructural criteria. pathologic lesions consisted of focal-multifocal to coalescent nodules or masses in the cranioventral or diaphragmatic lobes. ultrastructur...

introduction: lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths in the world. the incidence of lung cancer is increasing in india and there is a need to understand the natural history of this disease. aim of the study: to study the clinico- pathological- radiological profile of patients diagnosed with lung cancer from january 2013 to may 2015 at a tertiary care teaching hospital...

intraoperative radiation therapy (iort) is a multidisciplinary approach in which residual tumors or tumor beds are directly irradiated during a surgical procedure. to evaluate its efficacy, from 1985, we conducted a prospective study including non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery, iort (15 grays) and postoperative external beam radiotherapy (44 grays). up to 1993, 51 cases o...

after curative treatment of hodgkin’s lymphoma, increased risk of certain solid tumors has been reported. to best of our knowledge this is the first report of metachronous pancreatic adenocarcinoma which developed outside the previous radiation field in a patient with relapse hodgkin’s lymphoma. herein we present an 81-year-old female who developed pancreatic adenocarcinoma four years after the...

the tp53 tumor suppressor gene plays important roles in genomic stability. a common polymorphism at codon 72 of tp53 gene has been associated with increased risk for many human cancers. the p53 protein is expressed in colorectal cancer, but the reported prevalence of its expression varies widely. in the present study, the p53 protein expression in different genotypes of its codon 72 , was inves...

Adenocarcinoma no otherwise specified (NOS) and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA), are malignant tumors of the salivary glands. Both types have potential for recurrence distant metastases. Rare cases metastases lead to absence standardized systemic therapy gland cancer. This case report aims expand literature regarding parotid adenocarcinoma. We a 54-year-old woman who complained rec...

vitiligo is a disease that results in depigmented areas in the skin. it may develop at any age but the average age at onset is 20 years. association of vitiligo and melanoma has been commonly reported, but malignancies other than melanoma have been rarely associated with vitiligo. we report a 73‑year‑old patient with new onset vitiligo who developed esophageal adenocarcinoma in the following ye...
