Skin metastases from pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC) are rare and their palliative treatment is challenging. We report our experience in the multimodal management of one of the few reported cases of metastatic PNEC with multiple visceral and subcutaneous secondary lesions, focusing on the[r]

INTRODUCTION OF THESIS

1. Background:
Lung cancer is one of the common cancers. The disease has the highest incidence and mortality among cancers, most commonly seen in the elderly especially over 60 years old. The majority of lung cancer is related to secondhand and passive smoking and has over[r]

The relationships among PIK3CA mutations, medication use and tumor progression remains poorly understood. Aspirin use post-diagnosis may modify components of the PI3K pathway, including AKT and mTOR, and has been associated with lower risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality.

To evaluate the efficiency of endobronchial ultrasound for diagnosis of patients with suspected lung cancer. Subjects and methods: 82 patients with suspected primary lung cancer, treated at 103 Military Hospital and K3 Hospital located at Tan Trieu, Thanh Tri, Hanoi from January, 2013 to October, 20[r]

In this article, we aimed to characterize the diffuse gastric cancer cells with MRI and transcriptomic data. We hypothesized that gene expression pattern is associated with the phenotype of the cells and that the heterogeneous enhancement pattern and the high tumorigenicity of SNU484 can be modulate[r]

The prevalence and correlates of job and insurance problems were examined among a cohort of young U.S. breast cancer survivors during the first 18-months following diagnosis.
