Article Synopsis
- Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the pancreas is a rare type of neurogenic tumor, with only 7 cases reported since its first identification in 1975.
- A 53-year-old male presented with a pancreatic mass, which was confirmed to be GCT through imaging and microscopic analysis showing specific cell markers.
- It is essential to consider GCT in the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors, and while surgical removal is recommended, long-term follow-up is necessary due to potential metastasis and recurrence.
Angiogenesis serves a role in the growth, metastasis and prognosis of tumors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the angiogenic ability and clinical significance of the immune biomarker soluble interleukin‑2 receptor (sIL‑2R) in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Serum levels of sIL‑2R were measured in 35 GC patients with different stages of disease and 32 healthy individuals, and it was investigated whether the levels were associated with angiogenesis factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β1.

The aim of this study was to explore the associations between COX-2 polymorphisms and risk of gastric cancer using a meta-analytic method. We searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Wanfang (Chinese database) to identify the eligible studies.
