A 16-month-old girl and a 5-year-old boy with botryoid sarcoma of the biliary tree are presented. The girl's tumor infiltrated the liver, whereas the boy's tumor was confined to the extrahepatic biliary tree. Computed tomography not only enabled the evaluation of the tumor-surrounding structures,
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bile ducts is associated with a poor prognosis because complete resection rarely is considered possible. We reviewed the literature and report our experience with the management of 3 consecutive patients. The patients were 1, 4, and 9 yr old at presentation, and had
The plant Moringa oleifera is used as food and medicine. M. oleifera flowers are source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and are used to treat inflammation and tumors. This work evaluated the antitumor activity of the M. oleifera flower trypsin inhibitor (MoFTI) in sarcoma 180-bearing mice.
BACKGROUND
We investigated prognostic factors (PFs) for 90-day mortality in a large cohort of advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients treated with first-line chemotherapy.
METHODS
The PFs were identified by both logistic regression analysis and probability tree analysis in patients
Little is known about the regulation of sarcoma proliferation by hormones and/or growth factors. We therefore characterised the in vitro proliferative influence on eight sarcoma cell lines of the platelet-derived growth factor, the insulin-like growth factor 1, triiodothyronine, the epidermal growth
Isolated cytostatic lung perfusion (ILP) is an attractive technique allowing delivery of a high-dose of cytostatic agents to the lungs while limiting systemic toxicity. In developing a rat model of ILP, we have analysed the effect of the route of tumour cell injection on the source of tumour
We report a case of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and disseminated infection by Mycobacterium genavense in a 40-year-old HIV-positive man with CD4+ T-cell count 5/µL. He presented with anorexia, diarrhoea, cachexia and multiple firm violaceous nodules distributed over the face, neck and upper and lower
BACKGROUND
Head and neck sarcoma are very rare malignant tumors which can occur on any different ENT localization.
OBJECTIVE
The authors report tree different variety of ENT sarcoma diagnosed and treated at the oto-rhino-laryngological department of military hospital of Tunis. We intend to remind of
The uterine sarcoma human cell line MES-SA/Dx5 overexpresses the MDR1 gene product, P-glycoprotein (Pgp). Pgp is a heavily glycosylated, ATP-dependent drug efflux pump expressed in many human cancers. There are more than 150 known isoforms of Pgp, which complicates the characterization of Pgp
From July 1972 through September 1984, 8 of 44 children diagnosed as having primary malignant hepatic tumors, who were treated at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, had undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma (five patients) or rhabdomyosarcoma (three patients). The natural history and response to
OBJECTIVE
Epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is one of the most common acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining malignancies, a disease with stigmatized clinical features that characterizes the diagnosis of AIDS. This study aims to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis between liposomal
BACKGROUND
Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is a minimally invasive technique for delivering high-dose regional chemotherapy. We report our experience with ILI for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
METHODS
From our prospective database, 21 patients with STS of the limb treated with ILI between
BACKGROUND
We sought to determine the cost-effectiveness of different treatment strategies for patients with pulmonary metastases from soft tissue sarcoma.
METHODS
We constructed a decision tree to model the outcomes of 4 treatment strategies for patients with pulmonary metastases from soft tissue
BACKGROUND
Retroperitoneal or visceral sarcoma may recur with disease limited to the abdomen and pelvis. In this clinical situation, further surgical treatments in an attempt to control the disease may be appropriate. CT is used to help select patients for additional surgical
BACKGROUND
Many biological attributes of tumors (including regional blood flow and microcirculation) can deteriorate the homogeneity of heat distribution and temperature elevation during hyperthermia. We analyzed the connection between the microcirculation status of osteogenic sarcomas and the
