Abstract

Primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the ovary has been recently recognized as a separate subtype of epithelial cancer. It has been proposed that recognition of such tumors is important on clinical grounds because of a favorable response to chemotherapy and an improved patient survival. The authors reviewed the histological and clinicopathologic findings of 58 patients with advanced stage (stages III and IV) ovarian cancer with a view to determining the frequency of TCC and confirming the favorable prognosis. Of these cases, 15 (26%) were reclassified as TCC; 13 were predominantly TCC, and 2 had a mixed pattern with approximately 50% of the tumor being TCC. TCC patients ranged in age from 44 to 70 years of age (mean, 57). Ten of the patients had stage III disease, and five were stage IV. The tumor was unilateral in 2 cases and bilateral in 11 (2 unknown). Tumor size varied between 3 and 23 cm. Of the stage III patients, five were optimally debulked, and five had residual disease. All patients received the same type of chemotherapy. The median overall survival was 28 months. There was no significant difference in the clinical outcome of patients with TCC compared with that of patients with serous carcinomas. These data s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
