What is the best approach for screen-detected low volume cancers?--The case for observation. | The case for active surveillance as the optimal therapy for screen detected, low volume, low grade prostate cancer is presented. This is based on data from recent long term studies of conservative management, the prostate cancer prevention trial (PCPT), the Swedish trial of radical prostatectomy vs. observation, and se... | 18,774,462 |
The "male lumpectomy": focal therapy for prostate cancer using cryoablation results in 48 patients with at least 2-year follow-up. | The use of breast sparing surgery, i.e., "lumpectomy", revolutionized management of breast cancer. Lumpectomy confirmed that quality of life issues can successfully be addressed without compromising treatment efficacy. Complications of prostate cancer treatment, including impotence and incontinence, affect the male sel... | 18,774,463 |
Oligodendrogliomas in relation to astrocytes differentiation. Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study. | Oligodendroglioma usually arise in adults and rarely in children. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the immunoexpression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and heat shock proteins (HSP70), endothelial vascular growth factor (EVGF), and endothilial vascular growth factor receptor type II (EFGF-R)... | 18,774,492 |
Myxoid adrenal cortical neoplasms. | Myxoid adrenal cortical neoplasms are rare, and to our knowledge, only about 23 cases have been reported in the literature, including 13 carcinomas and 10 adenomas. We recently experienced 4 cases of myxoid adrenal cortical neoplasms (3 benign and 1 borderline malignancy) and studied the clinical, histopathological, an... | 18,774,497 |
Compound nevus with congenital features and balloon cell changes--an immunohistochemical study. | Balloon cell nevi and balloon cell changes in nevi have rarely been reported in the literature. We describe a compound nevus showing focal balloon cell changes in a 20-year-old man. The melanocytic nature of the balloon cells is confirmed by an immunohistochemical study. The findings are compared with those in balloon ... | 18,774,500 |
Multicentric transitional cell carcinoma of the vagina and the ureter. | Primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the vagina represents an extremely rare neoplasm and is associated with multicentric TCC of the urinary tract in all described cases.
