The aim of the current study was to investigate and discuss the function of T-box 3 (TBX3) gene expression in the pathogenesis of renal carcinoma. The carcinoma, adjacent and normal renal tissues of 210 patients with renal carcinoma who presented to The Central Hospital of Wuhan, Tongji Medical College from March, 2006 to March, 2012 were collected to extract total RNAs. The total RNAs were rev...

Data from 27 autopsy cases of renal sarcoma were investigated concerning the mode of metastases. The incidence was 1% in 2,651 cases of new growths of the kidney. Histologically nine were leiomyosarcoma, and five each were rhabdomyosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. The lungs, lymph nodes and liver were the most frequent sites of metastases. No significant differences in metastatic sites were noted amon...

Metastasis is a complex process that propagates cells from the primary or initial site of the cancer occurrence to distant parts of the body. Cancer cells break from the cancer site and circulate through the bloodstream or lymph vessels, allowing them to reach nearly all parts of the body. These circulating tumour cells (CTCs) contain specialized metastasis-initiating cells (MICs) that reside i...

Two cases of very rare intramedullary spinal cord metastasis from colon carcinoma and renal carcinoma were treated primarily by microsurgical excision. A 44-year-old female presented with colon carcinoma metastasis manifesting as complete neurological deficit. She had undergone colon resection 2 years previously for colon carcinoma. The tumor was excised by microsurgery with megadose steroid th...

results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

Renal metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer is rather uncommon. The mechanism underlying the occurrence of metastasis in this site is still not well understood. We report a case of a 53-year-old Chinese woman who had moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. After a ten months post-surgery interval of disease free survival, computed tomography (CT) scan found that left...

Introduction Loco-regional failure is the predominant pattern of failure in the patients of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy. Distant metastasis is a relatively rare phenomenon. Rare reports of head and neck malignancies with renal metastases are available in literature though none of them have carcinoma of larynx as the primary. We here in describe clinical ...

we present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. whole body 99mtc-methylene diphosphonate (mdp) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. that revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. additionally tracer activity collected i...

BACKGROUND Distant metastasis are common in Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) nearly one forth of the patients have metastasis at presentation while another 50% develop metastasis during the follow-up. A small percentage of these are solitary metastasis. We describe survival after surgical excision or radiotherapy of solitary metastatic lesion from renal cell carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between ...
