Expression of cancer/testis antigens MAGE-A, MAGE-C1, GAGE and CTAG1B in benign and malignant thyroid diseases.

Despite considerable advances in the understanding of thyroid gland biology, correctly diagnosing thyroid nodules and treating high-grade thyroid carcinoma remains challenging. Cancer/testis (CT) antigens have emerged as potential diagnostic tools as well as targets of potential cancer vaccinations. In the present study, a total of 117 patients who underwent surgical therapy for thyroid disease were available for analysis.

TOTAL COST OF HOSPITALIZATION OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING ELECTIVE LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY RELATED TO NUTRITIONAL STATUS.

Background: In the Western world, the population developed an overweight profile. The morbidly obese generate higher cost to the health system. However, there is a gap in this approach with regard to individuals above the eutrofic pattern, who are not considered as morbidly obese.

Expression of MAGE-A4 and MAGE-C1 tumor-associated antigen in benign and malignant thyroid diseases.

Background: A subset of thyroid tumors characterized by a follicular growth pattern can represent a serious diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology for genetic profiling have been used in an attempt to resolve some of these issues.

Methods: Tumor tissue samples of thyroid were obtained from 70 patients who underwent surgical therapy.

To describe a patient with unilateral metastatic choroidal gastric adenocarcinoma as a first sign of systemic dissemination. A 54-year-old woman presented with a 7-month history of progressive pain and decrease in vision in her left eye.

Prognostic factors in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Unlabelled: Researchers have been looking for factors that can influence the prognosis of oral cancer, because its outcome is highly uncertain.

Aim: To evaluate variables that can impact the survival rate of patients with squamous-cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Material And Methods: Data analysis of 45 patients from January, 2001 to January, 2006.

Mandibular ameloblastoma treated by bone resection and immediate reconstruction.

Multicystic ameloblastoma mainly affects adult patients between the third and seventh decades of life, frequently in the posterior region of the mandible. The resection of a mandible segment without adequate reconstruction produces serious esthetic and functional sequelae leading to a loss of quality of life. The objective of this study is to show that multidisciplinary treatment of ameloblastomas helps in total lesion excision associated with complete reconstruction of the damaged area.
