Introduction: Appendix neoplasms are rare and identified in about 1% of all appendectomies, with the most common etiologies being first of epithelial origin and second, neuroendocrine. Neuroendocrine tumors are derived from enterochromaffin cells, producing the granules Chromogranin A and Synaptophysin and are the second most common histological type of appendix neoplasm, often found incidentally after appendec...
Introduction: Lung cancer is a cancer of high incidence and mortality. The identification of PD-L1 immunoexpression has enabled new treatments with monoclonal antibodies, and the PCR technique for researching EGFR changes allows indicating treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Objective: to evaluate the immunohistochemical profile and EGFR changes in a series of lung cancer samples. Methodology: Retrospect...

Following this concept, a promising target for an immunomodulatory therapy ...
