Tumour-induced osteomalacia: An emergent paraneoplastic syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes are distant manifestations of some tumours. An uncommon but increasingly reported form is tumour-induced osteomalacia, a hypophosphatemic disorder associated to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) secretion by tumours. The main biochemical manifestations of this

[Paraneoplastic syndrome in kidney cancer].

Only registered users can translate articles

In a prospective study 60 patients suffering from histologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma were examined on paraneoplastic alterations. The following parameters were determined: Stauffer-syndrome (BSG, total protein with serum electrophoresis, alcaline phosphatase, gamma-GT, Quick values),

Serum interleukin-6 levels in metastatic renal cell carcinoma before treatment with interleukin-2 correlates with paraneoplastic syndromes but not patient survival.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the frequency of interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression in renal cancer cell lines, the frequency of the detection of IL-6 in the serum of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, whether serum IL-6 level correlates with the development of paraneoplastic syndromes and

Anti-neurofilament antibodies in the sera of patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung and with visual paraneoplastic syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

The sera of patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) and an associated visual paraneoplastic syndrome (VPNS) have high titer immunoglobulins that react with retinal ganglion cells and with cloned lines of the SCCL. The immunoglobulins in the sera of two patients with SCCL and VPNS

Liver-originating isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase in the serum: a paraneoplastic manifestation of a malignant schwannoma of the sciatic nerve.

Only registered users can translate articles

A case of malignant schwannoma of the sciatic nerve is described associated with hepatic dysfunction in the absence of hepatic metastases. An elevated serum alkaline phosphatase activity was present with an isoenzyme pattern indicating hepatic involvement. These abnormalities disappeared after

Paraneoplastic elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase in renal cell carcinoma: incidence and implication on prognosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We investigated the incidence and prognostic significance of paraneoplastic elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase in patients with renal cell carcinoma. METHODS Clinical data of 365 pathologically proved renal cell carcinoma cases were reviewed. Serum alkaline phosphatase level greater

Effect of selenium-enriched malt on hepatocarcinogenesis, paraneoplastic syndrome and the hormones regulating blood glucose in rats treated by diethylnitrosamine.

Only registered users can translate articles

233 SD rats weighing 100 approximately 120 g were divided randomly into 6 groups. The animals in group I and group II received 0.1 mg/kg selenium in the form of sodium selenite only and served as the negative control and positive control, respectively. Animals in groups III, IV and V were fed with

[Stauffer syndrome, paraneoplastic hepatic dysfunction syndrome associated with renal cell carcinoma (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

In two patients with renal cell carcinoma, the following biochemical changes were found independently of hepatic metastases: increased alkaline phosphatase activity, rise in bromsulfothalein retention, hypoalbuminemia, increase in alpha2-globulin, and prolonged prothrombin time (Stauffer syndrome).

Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) status in gastroesophageal malignancies and associated paraneoplastic syndromes - connection with inflammation.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the status and diagnostic utility of antioxidant paraoxonase 1 (PON1) in gastroesophageal cancers. METHODS PON1's arylesterase/paraoxonase activities and phenotype were determined in 82 cancers and 57 controls, and related to clinicopathological features, anemia and cachexia

Oncogenic osteomalacia: two case reports with surprisingly different outcomes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome of acquired hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, resulting from a deficit in renal tubular phosphate reabsorption, in which fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) seems to be implicated. This condition is usually associated with a phosphaturic

Stauffer Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review of the Icteric Variant of the Syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Stauffer syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome classically associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This association gave it the historical name of nonmetastatic nephrogenic hepatic dysfunction syndrome without jaundice. It is a syndrome of unclear pathophysiology characterized by a

Small cell anaplastic carcinoma of the prostate: a clinical, pathological and immunohistological study of 27 patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Because small cell anaplastic carcinoma of the prostate is an uncommon tumor, it has remained a poorly defined entity. To elucidate further the clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of this cancer the 27 patients who presented to the Mayo Clinic from 1960 to 1990 were

MicroRNA expression in a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour.

Only registered users can translate articles

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours are a heterogeneous set of bone and soft tissue neoplasms that can cause a number of paraneoplastic syndromes such as tumour induced osteomalacia. The term phosphaturic comes from the common finding that these tumours secrete high levels of fibroblast growth factor

Paraneoplastic Hepatopathy Associated with Gastrointestinal Carcinoid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paraneoplastic hepatopathy has been reported with various malignancies, most commonly with renal cell cancer. This non-metastatic hepatic dysfunction in such malignancies is known as Stauffer syndrome. We describe a 61-year-old man who presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction with marked

Interleukin-6 enhances hypercalcemia and bone resorption mediated by parathyroid hormone-related protein in vivo.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tumors frequently induce the multifunctional cytokine IL-6, which has been linked to several paraneoplastic syndromes, most notably cachexia. IL-6 stimulates osteoclast formation, causes mild hypercalcemia, and is produced by bone cells in vitro upon exposure to systemic hormones. Since IL-6 is
