AbstractAbstract
[en] Cytokines and growth factors have biologic effects that could stimulate tumor growth, invasion and angiogenesis. The incidence of 24 factors was investigated in 25 cultured human melanoma cell lines and in 62 fixed tissues at different stages of the disease. Over 80% of the human melanoma cell lines expressed TGF-β, IL-8, IL-6, VEGF, PDGF-AA and OPN. Significantly higher TGF-β, IGF-1 and IL-15 were determined in primary lesions compared to distant metastases by immunohistochemistry. Illustrating the complexity of the milieu of the tumor microenvironment, some of these factors may have to be considered in targeted therapy

AbstractAbstract
[en] Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in women, with most cases being classified as early stage endometrioid tumors that carry a favorable prognosis. The endometrial serous histological subtype (ESC), however, while only accounting for 10% of all endometrial cancers is responsible for a disproportionate number of deaths. Unlike the estrogen-dependent, well differentiated endometrioid tumors, which are commonly associated with a younger age of onset, ESCs are estrogen-independent and tend to present at an advanced stage and in older women. Treatment for ESC entails aggressive surgery and multimodal adjuvant therapy. In this review, we describe the clinical behavior, molecular aspects, and treatment strategies for ESC

AbstractAbstract
[en] Purpose: For patients with early stage nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) but medically inoperable, aggressive radiation therapy might impact on survival. Methods and Materials: Between 1980 and 1990, 71 patients treated at MDACC by radiation therapy alone for NSCLC because of medical contradindications for surgery were analyzed. All patients had histologic or cytologic confirmation of NSCLC. The median total radiation dose was 63.23 Gy with 79% of patients receiving doses exceeding 60 Gy. The radiographic response was documented at completion of radiation therapy and 6 months after completion of radiation therapy. The median follow-up time was 36 months, ranging from 14-61 months. Results: Overall survival rates at 3 and 5 years were 19 and 12%, respectively. The disease-specific survival (DSS) rates at 3 and 5 years were 44 and 32%, respectively. The DSS rates at 3 years by T-stage were: 49% for T1, 47% for T2, 26% for T3, and 32% for T4. The local control rates at 3 and 5 years were 66 and 56%, respectively. The local control rates at 3 years by T-stage were: 89% for T1, 61% for T2, 42% for T3, and 55% for T4. Univariately, the significant favorable prognostic factors for DSS were a KPS ≥ 70, tumor size ≤5 cm, no chest-wall invasion, and a radiation dose ≥50 Gy. The significant favorable prognostic factors for local control were tumor size ≤4 cm, no chest-wall invasion, a radiation dose >60 Gy, and a complete response confirmed by chest x-ray at 6 months after radiotherapy (p = 0.04). Coverage of nodal drainage areas did not affect survival or local control. No lethal complications were seen, and documented symptomatic radiation pneumonitis occurred in only 7% of cases. Hence, the significant favorable prognostic factors for DSS were a KPS of ≥70, tumor size ≤5 cm, no chest-wall invasion, and a radiation dose ≥50 Gy. The significant favorable prognostic factors for local control were tumor size of ≤4 cm, no chest-wall invasion, a radiation dose >60 Gy, and a complete response confirmed by chest x-ray at 6 months after radiotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that the most important prognostic factor for DSS was KPS, and the most important prognostic factor for local control was radiation dose. Conclusions: Patients with a KPS of ≥70, a tumor size <5 cm, and no chest-wall invastion would benetif most from treatment with radiation alone to doses exceeding 60 Gy. This patient group represents the best sample for studying the benefit of conformal radiotherapy

AbstractAbstract
[en] Cystic pancreatic lesions are often discovered incidentally as an asymptomatic finding, at a rate which is increasing considerably. In recent years the understanding of such tumors has become clearly differentiated. The spectrum of relevant lesions includes in particular the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) and mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). With certain knowledge of their histological and radiomorphological structure as well as their distribution in terms of location, age and sex, such tumors are easy to differentiate and demarcate from common pancreatic pseudocysts. This also implies the fundamental understanding of complementary endoscopic procedures such as endosonography, which enables aspiration of the content of the cyst. A number of cystic pancreatic lesions have the potential to undergo malignant transformation along the adenoma-carcinoma sequence and therefore necessitate a differentiated approach to their radiological management. This review aims to develop a broad understanding of the pathological and radiomorphological characteristics of cystic pancreatic lesions and provides advice regarding procedures, particularly with respect to incidentally detected lesions.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Human carcinomas frequently exhibit significant stromal reactions such as the so-called “desmoplastic stroma” or “reactive stroma”, which is characterised by the existence of large numbers of stromal cells and extracellular matrix proteins. Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are rich in activated fibroblast populations exemplified by myofibroblasts, are among the predominant cell types present within the tumour-associated stroma. Increased numbers of stromal myofibroblasts are often associated with high-grade malignancies with poor prognoses in humans. CAF myofibroblasts possess abilities to promote primary tumour development, growth and progression by stimulating the processes of neoangiogenesis as well as tumour cell proliferation, survival, migration and invasion. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that CAFs serve as a niche supporting the metastatic colonisation of disseminated carcinoma cells in distant organs. Their contribution to primary and secondary malignancies makes these fibroblasts a potential therapeutic target and they also appear to be relevant to the development of drug resistance and tumour recurrence. This review summarises our current knowledge of tumour-promoting CAFs and discusses the therapeutic feasibility of targeting these cells as well as disrupting heterotypic interactions with other cell types in tumours that may improve the efficacy of current anti-tumour therapies

AbstractAbstract
[en] Thyroid malignancies are a heterogeneous group of tumours which show considerable variability in biological behaviour, histological appearances and response to therapy. Thyroid cancer is uncommon and represents only 1% of all malignancies. Objective was to determine the prevalence of malignancy in patients presenting with goitre. This prospective, observational study was conducted at Department of Surgery, Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi from January 1999 to December 2008. All patients requiring surgery for goitre were included in the study. Postoperatively histopathologies of specimens were evaluated in all patients. 718 patients were operated and post operative histopathology specimens were reviewed. 2.92% of patients were found to have malignancy. Prevalence of papillary and follicular carcinoma was 33.33% each. Anaplastic carcinoma was found in 23.81% of patients followed by Hurthle cell carcinoma in 9.53% of patients. All postoperative thyroid specimens should be subjected to histopathology. Prevalence of follicular carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma is relatively higher in our country due to high incidence of iodine deficiency goitre. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Cytology has become an integral component in the battery of diagnostic tools for a rational diagnosis of tumors. When all materials obtainable with sophisticated methods are utilized, almost every pulmonary lesion can be defined micromorphologically. In urgent cases instant staining techniques will permit a 'stat diagnosis'. The characterization of a tumor cell by cytology with accurate typing and grading offers preliminary information for subsequent staging efforts. Bronchial cancer may be both of the single-cell and of the mixed-cell type with the more aggressive cell elements determining the metastasising potential and prognosis. Sampling for cytology is devoid of risks and does not make any special demands on the patients; it can safely be repeated for follow-up studies; it helps to detect tumor regrowths or secondaries at an early stage during postoperative follow-up programs and to monitor treatment-related cellular changes.
