Article Synopsis
- Primitive neuro-ectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare and aggressive tumor mainly affecting children and young adults, with very few documented cases found in peripheral nerves.
- A 30-year-old male presented with symptoms leading to the discovery of a PNET in the axillary region, diagnosed through imaging and confirmed via histopathological analysis after surgical removal.
- Accurate diagnosis is essential, as treatment typically includes surgical resection combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, highlighting the need to consider PNET in differential diagnoses of masses in the axillary area.
Background: Iran is a country with very high incidences of stomach cancer, especially in Northern parts. Here we assessed prognostic value of serum screening biomarkers among people >50 years old for early detection of precancerous lesions in a hot spot for gastric carcinoma in Guilan Province, North Iran.
Methods: A cross- sectional population-based survey was conducted on 1,390 residents of Lashtenasha city with the mean age (SD) of 61.
Background And Objectives: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both sexes in Iran. This study was designed to assess upper GI endoscopic findings among people>50 years targeted in a mass screening program in a hot-point region.
Methods: Based on the pilot results in Guilan Cancer Registry study(GCRS), one of the high point regions for GC - Lashtenesha - was selected.
