Herbimycin A, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, impairs hypercalcemia associated with a human squamous cancer producing interleukin-6 in nude mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that is produced not only by a variety of normal cells but also by cancer cells. IL-6 produced by cancer cells stimulates the proliferation of these cancer cells in an autocrine/ paracrine manner and causes paraneoplastic syndromes including

Resolution of a Debilitating Paraneoplastic Parkinson-like Neurological Syndrome Following Tyrosine Inhibitor Therapy and Consolidative Nephrectomy in a Patient with Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paraneoplastic syndromes are commonly encountered in renal cell carcinoma, but neurological manifestations are rare. Herein we report a case of a patient with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma who presented with Parkinson-like symptoms which prohibited surgery due to poor performance status.

Treatment of Recurrent Intracranial Hemangiopericytoma with SRC-Related Tyrosine Kinase Targeted Therapy: A Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare sarcomatous tumor arising from pericytes, a support cell found in blood vessels. These tumors can occur throughout the body, particularly in the lower extremities and retroperitoneum. In rare circumstances, HPCs can arise from the meninges. In these cases, they

Identification of the amino acids on a neuronal glutamate receptor recognized by an autoantibody from a patient with paraneoplastic syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Autoantibodies from a patient with paraneoplastic disease were identified previously to bind to the glutamate receptor (GluR) subunit GluR5 and to function as potential allosteric modulators of receptor activity (Gahring et al. [1995] Mol Med 1:245-253). In the present study we have used deletion

Paraneoplastic syndromes of the neuromuscular junction: therapeutic options in myasthenia gravis, lambert-eaton myasthenic syndrome, and neuromyotonia.

Only registered users can translate articles

UNASSIGNED Myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and neuromyotonia are neuromuscular transmission disorders occurring with or without associated malignancy. Due to the common antibody-mediated pathophysiology, immunosuppression has an important role in the treatment of

Refractory Renal Cell Cancer with Gastro-renal Fistula: A Rare Complication.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metastatic renal cell cancer is treated with systemic therapy, and cytoreductive nephrectomy can be offered in selected patients. The systemic therapy treatment options for kidney cancer have now expanded to include tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy, and combinations

Paraneoplastic digital ischemia in clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma: Report of a case and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Digital ischemia has been rarely associated, as a paraneoplastic syndrome, with renal cancer. Since it can severely compromise the patients' quality of life, early recognition is important, in order to optimally address it with currently available treatment options, such as tyrosine inhibitors.

Isolated omental metastasis of renal cell carcinoma after extraperitoneal open partial nephrectomy: A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Metachronous metastatic spread of clinically localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) affects almost 1/3 of the patients. They occur most frequently in lung, liver, bone and brain. Isolated omental metastasis of RCC has not been reported so far. METHODS A 62-year-old patient previously

Rapid response of hypercortisolism to vandetanib treatment in a patient with advanced medullary thyroid cancer and ectopic Cushing syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may rarely present with paraneoplastic syndromes. Among the most frequent ones are the appearance of diarrhea and ectopic Cushing syndrome (ECS). The ECS in the context of MTC is usually present in patients with distant metastatic disease. The use of drugs such as

The EGF/TGF alpha receptor in skin.

Only registered users can translate articles

In responsive cells, all known effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha), and related proteins are mediated through binding to a specific membrane receptor. The EGF/TGF alpha receptor is a single-chain glycoprotein (1186 amino acids) containing three

Clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment of myasthenia gravis: a supplement to the Guidelines of the German Neurological Society.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune antibody-mediated disorder of neuromuscular synaptic transmission. The clinical hallmark of MG consists of fluctuating fatigability and weakness affecting ocular, bulbar and (proximal) limb skeletal muscle groups. MG may either occur as an autoimmune disease

To help clinicians identify and treat patients with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) resulting from a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor, mixed connective tissue variant (PMTMCT).Describe the history, presentation, laboratory findings, diagnostic studies,

Lung cancer associated with seronegative myasthenia gravis.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 64-year-old man presented with diplopia, muscle weakness, a pulmonary nodule and mediastinal widening on a chest radiograph. He was diagnosed with clinical stage IIIA (T2aN2M0) lung cancer. His neurological symptoms worsened following the initiation of thoracic radiation therapy (60 Gy) and

Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia

Only registered users can translate articles

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome caused by tumoral production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). The hallmark biochemical features include hypophosphatemia due to renal phosphate wasting, inappropriately normal or frankly low 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, and

Genes, growth factors and acanthosis nigricans.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acanthosis nigricans (AN) occurs most commonly in association with hyperinsulinaemia and more rarely as a paraneoplastic syndrome. It is also a feature of several genetic disorders. Indirect evidence suggests a role for tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor signalling in the pathogenesis of AN.
