Metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. Despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. Tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an uncommon neoplasm originating from parafollicular C cells. Distant metastasis in MTC, such as axillary node involvement, is extremely rare.  Case Report: The present study describes a known case of MTC with axillary lymph node metastasis in a 31-year-old woman. In 2010, she underwent total thyroidectomy and right-sided modified radical neck dis...

aim : this study aims to investigate some clinical and pathologic factors associated with the prognosis of patients with colon and rectum cancers separately. background : colorectal cancer is the most common cancer of the digestive system and also the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths around the world. different studies indicate that survival of patients with colorectal cancer has improved ...

Meningioma is the commonest primary intracranial tumor in adults, with majority being benign. Malignant meningioma exceedingly rare and carries a poor prognosis because of its tendency for local recurrence distant metastasis. We present case 53 years old male anaplastic malignant meningioma, which recurred after excision radiotherapy later metastasised to pleura, bones brain. Keywords: Metastat...

Abstract Background Infantile Fibrosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumor in infants and children mostly located in extremities. An infantile and adult form has similar histopathological patterns but survival prognosis is much better in infantile form. Recurrence of infantile fibrosarcoma is common but the rates of metastasis are less than 10 percent in children younger than five Years and 50 p...

Metastasis of gastroesphageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma in skeletal muscle is rare and primary sites for skeletal muscle metastases are usually lung, renal and colorectal cancer. We have encountered with the first case report of solitary psoas muscle metastasis of GEJ adenocarcinoma. Here we describe a 65 years old man was diagnosed with GEJ adenocarcinoma in tertiary hospital, Tehran, Iran...

Purpose: To examine the relationship between the expression of 7 promising apoptotic/cell proliferation proteins (Ki-67, p53, MDM2, bcl-2, bax, p16, and Cox-2) and risk of distant metastasis. Experimental Design: RTOG 92-02 compared external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to approximately 70 Gy þ short-term androgen deprivation therapy (STADT) with EBRT þ long-term ADT (LTADT). Immunohistochemical an...
