Gastric cancer is one of most common types of cancers. Metastatic gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and is accepted as incurable at this stage. Treatment of metastatic gastric cancer did not progress substantially until new targeted agents have come out. Recently published ToGA trial showed promising results in HER2 overexpressing metastatic gastric cancer. In this case we present a case with...

Gastric cancer is a very challenging malignancy given that it presents late, has complex pathogenetic mechanisms with multiple carcinogenic processes implicated, and is only moderately sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation. Accurate staging for gastric cancer is possible with the availability of sophisticated imaging studies, endoscopic ultrasound, and laparoscopy. Postoperative chemoradiatio...

Metastasis into a thyroid neoplasm-tumor-to-tumor metastasis-is exceedingly rare. We describe the 28th documented case of a tumor metastatic to a thyroid neoplasm and review the literature on tumor-to-tumor metastasis involving a thyroid neoplasm as recipient. All cases showed a recipient thyroid neoplasm with an abrupt transition to a morphologically distinct neoplasm. Metastasis into primary ...

Abstract Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) refers to a growth disorder characterized by glycoprotein neoplasm in the peritoneum, where mucin oversecretion occurs. The tumors of appendix region are well associated with PMP; however, ovarian, colon, stomach, pancreas, and urachus have also been linked PMP. Other mucinous pelvis, paracolic gutters, greater omentum, retrohepatic space, Treitz ligament c...

Ependymoma constitute 5 % to 7 % of all primary CNS neoplasm. But their prevalence relative to other tumor type varies with patient age and presenting location. Ependymoma constitute approximately 1O % of intracranial neoplasm in pediatric population and up to 30 % of those encountered in children under 3 years of age. In spinal column, ependymoma constitute 60% of glial neoplasm, and opposed...

background gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide. lentinan was shown to induce apoptosis in gastric cancer cells and could be used for the treatment of gastric cancer. objectives in this study, we analyzed anticancer effect of lentinan, a fungal β-glucan, on the gastric adenocarcinoma cell line (ags). materials and methods we used the dna ladder and tunnel app...
