Carcinoma

ADENOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA A carcinoma showing components of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma with each comprising at least 10% of the tumour. ICD-O Code 8560/3 Clinical features Signs and symptoms The frequency of adenosquamous carcinoma is between 0.4-4% of lung carcinomas {586,909,1445,1867,1950,2203}. Clinical presentation and behaviour is similar to adenocarcinoma with a majority of the patients being smokers Relevant diagnostic procedures Most tumours are peripheral and their

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma which is also known as nasopharyngeal cancer or cancer of the nasopharynx. It is a cancer that begins in the upper part of the throat behind the nose and near the base of the skull. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat, the pharynx, which lies behind the nose. The nasopharynx is a chamber about 1 ½ inches. It lies above the soft part of the roof of the mouth, the soft palate, and in back of the nasal passages. The nasopharynx serves as a passageway for air

The main reason hepatocellular carcinoma is considered is due to the occurrence of multiple symptoms in HCC patients is common, and may include pain, fatigue, weight loss, and obstructive syndromes such as ascites and jaundice which was evident in the patient (Sun & Sarna, 2008). Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, and incidence of HCC is highest in Africa and Asia, where viral hepatitis is endemic. HCC is often diagnosed at advanced stages and prognosis is

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the liver,also it is known to be the fifth most common cancer and third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide (1,2).HCC is a hypervascular tumor that mostly occurs in the settings of liver cirrhosis,and one of the leading causes of death in patients with cirrhosis. Spontaneous rupture is a major life threatening complication of HCC that occurs in 3%-15% of cases with geographical differences between western

Abstract : Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignant tumor

Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma is a type of malignant skin tumour which is named because this cancer histologically resembles the cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis, the basal layer (Basal and squamous cell skin cancer, 2012). As skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and basal cell carcinoma effects approximate 70% of people with non-melanoma skin cancers it is important to the management of our patients’ health, even though the eye-lids, ears and nose are usually effected

Renal cell carcinoma or kidney cancer BM has been challenging to find the proper course of treatments since a large range of therapies have shown responses. There has yet to be specific biomarkers that can be identified for diagnostic purposes. Studies have shown that PI3K, AKT, and mTOR pathway are important in the development of renal carcinoma. These pathways will likely be the targets for therapy. Gastrointestinal cancer (esp. colorectal and esophageal cancer) has been shown to contribute to

Title : Solitary cervical lymphadenopathy : a rare presentation of renal cell carcinoma. Abstract: Renal Cell Cancer, considered as the most fatal cancer of urinary tract is most frequently diagnosed as an incidental finding. Very few cases in literature are noted to present with cervical lymph node enlargement especially solitary. We report a rare case of left renal cell carcinoma in a young female, presenting with left cervical lymphadenopathy. Fine needle aspiration cytology was suspicious

Basal cell carcinoma is known as the most common type of skin cancer beginning with your basal cells. Basal cells produce new skin cells as old ones die off. A cancer is formed when there is a mutation of cells of uncontrollable growth which can take place and spread to many places in your body. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in particular, is very common and there are nearly 4 million cases of this cancer diagnosed in the United States each year (“Skin Cancer Foundation.”). Like most skin cancers

Next, the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) also can be considered as one type of carcinoma. This carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer compared to the basal cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The incidence of this skin cancer is increasing in some countries especially the United Kingdom. This type of the cancer is cancer that develops from the epithelial cells of the epidermis of the skin. This cancer is usually caused by long-term UV light exposure that can develop in normal skin or in skin
