De novo germline TP53 mutation presenting with synchronous malignancies of the central nervous system.

13 Dec 2009 We present a case of a 14-year-old male with a germline TP53 mutation who presented with synchronous primitive neuroectodermal tumor and choroid plexus carcinoma. Identification of synchronous brain tumors prompted genetic testing for predisposition ... Read more...

Progression and prognosis of gastric stump cancer.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The incidence of gastric stump cancer (GSC) is increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the clinicopathologic feature and the differences of surgical outcome between GSC after partial gastrectomy for benign ... Read more...

Prognostic importance of standardized uptake value on F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography in biliary tract carcinoma.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been used for diagnosis and staging of malignant diseases. However, the prognostic significance of FDG uptake on PET had not been sufficiently evaluated in ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Carcinoma'

Definition: A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm but is often wrongly used as a synonym for "cancer." (From Dorland, 27th ed)
