Malignant tumors of the orbit. Analysis of the Florida Cancer Registry

Ophthalmology
C E Margo, Z D Mulla

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the relative frequency and incidence of primary malignant tumors of the orbit occurring in Florida. Cases of primary orbital malignancy were identified in the Florida Cancer Data System registry from 1981 through 1993. Analysis was restricted to persons who reside within the state. Three hundred fourteen primary orbital malignancies were reported; 55% of malignant orbital tumors were lymphoma. The average annual incidence for all malignancies was 2 cases per million. There was a steady increase in the annual incidence of orbital malignancy during the 13 years of the study. Lymphoma showed the greatest rise in annual incidence. The average annual incidence of lymphoma increased 166% the last 6 years of the study compared to the first 6 years. A large increase in orbital lymphoma was documented in the Florida cancer registry from 1981 through 1993. The increase in incidence cannot be explained by improved compliance in reporting or by the small increase in incidence of systemic lymphoma during the survey period. Additional studies are needed to determine whether the observed increase in incidence in orbital lymphoma is genuine or spurious.

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.
