Recebido em 22 de julho de 2004 Aceito em 5 de setembro de 2005 *Corresponding author (autor para correspondência) E-mail: [email protected] Reports of tumors of the reproductive tract in female non-human primates are not frequent. In the literature some cases were observed in females, and they included a cervical leiomyoma, an uterine carcinoma (Mcclure and Guilloud, 1971), four ute...

résultats : La littérature publiée a été récupérée par l’intermédiaire de recherches menées dans PubMed, CINAHL et The Cochrane Library au moyen d’un vocabulaire contrôlé (p. ex. « endometrial neoplasms ») et de mots clés (p. ex. « endometrium cancer », « endometrial carcinoma ») appropriés. Les résultats ont été restreints aux analyses systématiques, aux essais comparatifs randomisés / essais ...

Uterine sarcomas are a rare group of neoplasms with aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. They are classified into four main histological subtypes in order of decreasing incidence: carcinosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas and "other" sarcomas. The pathological subtype demands a tailored approach. Surgical resection is regarded as the mainstay of treatment. Total a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and the clinical outcome of synchronous malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive tract. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients who were operated and diagnosed with synchronous malignant tumor of the genital system (n = 25) at the Dokuz Eylul University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Gynecologic Oncology Unit between 1992 and ...

Identification of metastasis and occult micrometastases of breast cancer demands sensitive and specific diagnostic markers. In this study, we assessed the utility of a mouse monoclonal antibody to human mammaglobin for one such purpose. Immunohistochemical stains were performed on paraffin-embedded sections from a total of 284 cases, which consisted of primary breast invasive carcinomas (41 cas...

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) present in cruciferous vegetables has been found to inhibit chemically induced neoplasms in forestomach, mammary gland, liver, and tongue in rodents. I3C is also known to induce estradiol 2-hydroxylase and reduce estrogenic activity. The current study was conducted to examine the possible inhibiting effect of I3C on spontaneous occurrence of endometrial adenocarcinoma in...

OBJECTIVES In the case of carcinogenesis in human endometrium no information exists on tissue concentration of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, the DNA oxidative stress marker This was the main reason to undertake the investigation of this DNA modification in human uterine estrogen-dependent tissue cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to estimate the level of oxidative damage, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydrogua...

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies in Poland, with well-established risk factors. Genetic instability and molecular alterations responsible for endometrial carcinogenesis have been systematically investigated. The aim of the present study was to investigate, by means of cDNA macroarrays, the expression profiles of genes encoding extracellular matrix (EC...
