Objective: Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are heterogeneous tumors displaying multiple and complex molecular abnormalities with no specific pattern. Despite current therapeutic advances, the patients with STS still have a poor outcome, which makes it necessary to find out new prognostic markers. The Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) has been associated with prognosis in several human neoplasms; however, its rol...
Aim of the study: To evaluate the morphological pattern of cervicovaginal flora elements in liquid based SurePath™ cytology.Material and methods: During the period between May, 2010 and August, 2011, 10.166 gynecological samples preserved in liquid based SurePath were evaluated at Barretos Cancer Hospital, in order to identify cervicovaginal flora.Results: Data showed that Lactobacillus sp were observed in 48.9...
To evaluate whether lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) are useful markers of worse outcome in colorectal carcinoma and if LVD and LVI correlate to the classical clinical-pathological parameters, we analysed 120 cases of colorectal carcinomas selected from the files of Division of Pathology, Hospital das Clinicas, São Paulo University, Brazil. Assessment of LVD and LVI was perform...
Tumour cells are known to be highly glycolytic, thus producing high amounts of lactic acid. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), by promoting the efflux of the accumulating acids, constitute one of the most important mechanisms in the maintenance of tumour intracellular pH. Since data concerning MCT expression in colorectal carcinomas (CRC) are scarce and controversial, the present study aimed to assess the exp...
