Dickoppf-1 (DKK-1) is a negative regulator of bone formation with tumorigenic
potential. The up-regulation of DKK-1 is an early event in prostate cancer (PCa)
development, thus we investigated its role as a marker in the diagnosis and
prognosis of PCa. We retrospectively enrolled 159 patients who underwent
prostate biopsy, either for elevated PSA or suspect digital rectal examination,

Monocarboxylate Transporter 1 (MCT1) is an independent prognostic biomarker in endometrial cancerBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 17 - Trang 1-10 - 2017

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major health concern due to its rising incidence.
Whilst early stage disease is generally cured by surgery, advanced EC has a poor
prognosis with limited treatment options. Altered energy metabolism is a
hallmark of malignancy. Cancer cells drive tumour growth through aerobic
glycolysis and must export lactate to maintain intracellular pH. The aim of this
study was to ... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluation of chemiluminescence, toluidine blue and histopathology for detection of high risk oral precancerous lesions: A cross-sectional studyBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 12 - Trang 1-7 - 2012

Early detection holds the key to an effective control of cancers in general and
of oral cancers in particular. However, screening procedures for oral cancer are
not straightforward due to procedural requirements as well as feasibility
issues, especially in resource-limited countries. We conducted a cross-sectional
study to compare the performance of chemiluminescence, toluidine blue and
histopatho... hiện toàn bộ
Mycetoma in a non-endemic area: a diagnostic challengeBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 17 - Trang 1-6 - 2017

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by filamentous
bacteria or by fungi. The disease is endemic in certain tropical and subtropical
areas of the world but can be found elsewhere posing sometimes a diagnostic
challenge for clinicians. A 65-year- old man presented with a right foot
swelling evolving for 25 years. During that time, several diagnosis and
treatments have been ... hiện toàn bộ
Colorectal cancer in patients seen at the teaching hospitals of Guadeloupe and Martinique: discrepancies, similarities in clinicopathological features, and p53 statusBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 14 - Trang 1-8 - 2014

In Guadeloupe and Martinique, two French Overseas Departments, colorectal cancer
(CRC) has become an essential public health issue. However, little is known
about CRC characteristics and the p53 status in these populations, particularly
in Guadeloupe, whereas certification of a cancer registry has been recently
validated. This was a descriptive retrospective study of 201 patients who,
between 1995... hiện toàn bộ
Tenascin-W is a better cancer biomarker than tenascin-C for most human solid tumorsBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 12 - Trang 1-10 - 2012

Tenascins are large glycoproteins found in the extracellular matrix of many
embryonic and adult tissues. Tenascin-C is a well-studied biomarker known for
its high overexpression in the stroma of most solid cancers. Tenascin-W, the
least studied member of the family, is highly expressed in the stroma of colon
and breast tumors and in gliomas, but not in the corresponding normal tissues.

Central nervous system tumors: a single center pathology review of 34,140 cases over 60 yearsBMC Clinical Pathology - Tập 13 Số 1 - 2013
Liang Chen, Xiang Zou, Yin Wang, Ying Mao, Lei Zhou
Abstract Background Tumor epidemiology is a significant part of CNS (central
nervous system) tumor studies. Reassessment of original sections can update our
knowledge of tumor spectrum. Here, we discuss the features of CNS tumor
pathology in a single center. Methods A total of 34140 cases from 1950 to 2009
were collected; sections from 1990 to 2009 were reassessed according to WHO 2007
