Small cell lung cancer is a common type of lung cancer that is generally classified within the spectrum of neuroendocrine lung neoplasms. Using high-density cDNA arrays, we profiled gene expression of small cell lung cancers and compared... more
Here, we report the case of a patient with a slowly-progressing anterior mediastinal teratoma submitted to surgical resection. The anatomopathological examination of the sample revealed malignant degeneration to carcinoid tumor. Such... more
Subcutaneous (SC) octreotide acetate effectively relieves the diarrhea and flushing associated with carcinoid syndrome but requires long-term multiple injections daily. A microencapsulated long-acting formulation (LAR) of octreotide... more
This study aims to evaluate the potential of (1)H NMR spectroscopy, combined with multivariate statistics, for discriminating between tumour and non-involved (control) pulmonary parenchyma and for providing biochemical information on... more
Liver transplantation can be considered a therapeutic option for patients with neuroendocrine tumors only metastatic to the liver. Important selection criteria are well-differentiated tumors and a low proliferation rate (Ki67... more
Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine malignancies that frequently metastasize and secrete hormones that cause debilitating symptoms in patients. In this study we report the effects of valproic acid (VPA), a drug long used for the treatment... more
Carcinoids of the appendix continue to be of interest, despite their low incidence. There is still considerable controversy surrounding these tumors, especially with regard to the role of right hemicolectomy in the surgical management.... more
Background/Purpose: Endobronchial tumors are rare in chil- dren and often misdiagnosed as benign conditions resulting in delayed definitive treatment. The authors reviewed their experience to highlight pertinent aspects of diagnosis and... more
Three cases of carcinoid tumour of the appendix (about 0,3 % of all performed appendectomies) has induced the Authors to a review of the literature with the aim to underline the most important biological and pathological findings and the... more
Carcinoid tumours are slow growing tumours, derived from enterochromaffin cells located in the crypts of Lieberkühn, which is part of neuroendocrine system. A 36-year-old female patient presented in surgical clinic with complaints of... more
Appendiceal tumors are found in about 1% of appendectomies performed and 0.5% of intestinal neoplasias. Appendiceal carcinoids are the predominant histology in this group and are usually casual after appendectomy for other reasons. The... more
Lung cancers were investigated for their heterogeneity as expressed by their immunoreactivity for cytokeratins and neurofilament proteins, as well as for the neuroendocrine differentiation antigen MOC-1. Using broadly cross-reacting... more
Laryngeal atypical carcinoids (AC/moderately-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma) are associated with moderately aggressive clinical behavior; however, a subset of tumors classified as AC have much greater aggressive potential. These... more
Positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) is one of the initial mediastinal staging modality for non-small cell lung cancer; however, the clinical utility in carcinoid tumours is uncertain. We sought to determine the test performance of... more
