Cervical carcinoma with rhabdoid phenotype: Report of two cases.

Int J Gynecol Cancer

Department of Pathology, University of Natal Medical School, Durban, South Africa.

Published: September 2000

This report documents two cases of cervical carcinomas having a prominent rhabdoid cell component. In one instance, rhabdoid cells were present as a component of endocervical adenocarcinoma, whereas in the other case, an undifferentiated cervical carcinoma developed a prominent rhabdoid phenotype on recurrence. Like tumors containing rhabdoid elements which have been described at other sites, these neoplasms behaved in an aggressive manner.

Introduction: A recent pan-cancer transcriptome analysis indicated differential activity of alternative promoters of genes TNS3 and LRRFIP1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to non-cancerous tissue. The promoters upregulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma regulate expression of transcripts TNS3-203 and LRRFIP1-211.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the biomarker potential of TNS3-203 and LRRFIP1-211 transcripts in oral cancer, the most common type of head and neck cancer.

Drug resistance and cancer recurrence are major cause of Cervical cancer (CC) patient mortality. Cisplatin (CDDP) is the major drug that has been extremely used in all stages in treating CC, although relapse and malignant instances have been observed as a result of cisplatin resistance in CC. In the present study, we established Cisplatin resistant CC HeLa cell line model and the cytotoxic effects of Andro as a single agent or in combination with CDDP were investigated to assess its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent in cisplatin-resistant HeLa (CisR-HeLa) cells.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Maryland, School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Objective: Advances in the treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) include transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and proton beam therapy (PBT). This study aims to improve understanding of the treatment toxicities associated with adjuvant PBT following TORS for OPSCC.

Hobnail papillary thyroid carcinoma (HNPTC) is an unusual and aggressive variant of PTC. Malignant pleural effusion secondary to thyroid carcinoma is a rare event reported in less than 1% of cases. Herein we present a case of metastatic HNPTC initially diagnosed by pleural effusion cytology, with a very poor outcome.
