The aim of this study was to evaluate in breast cancer patients the feasibility of sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification and the sensitivity of this technique to detect node metastases. Between January and July 1997, SLNs were tracked with Evans Blue dye in 100 patients with breast cancer who
OBJECTIVE
The main study objective was to describe the distribution of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and the prevalence of SLN micrometastases in patients with early cervical cancer. The secondary objective was to confirm the SLN detection rate and negative predictive value found in our preliminary
Previously, we have shown that a significant proportion of human gastric carcinomas of the diffuse type may be neuroendocrine tumors derived from the enterochromaffinlike (ECL) cell. The growth of the ECL cell is specifically regulated by gastrin, suggesting an important role of gastrin in human
Crocetin, a carotenoid compound derived from saffron, has long been used as a traditional ancient medicine against different human diseases including cancer. The aim of the series of experiments was to systematically determine whether crocetin significantly affects pancreatic cancer growth both in
To determine the anti-metastatic potential of combinations of two bioactive carotenoids of saffron, crocin and crocetin, on 4T1 breast cancer and on a mice model of TNBC, and assess the effect of the most potent combination on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.The Assessment of the risk of lymph node invasion and tumour recurrence is critical to determine whether additional surgery is required in patients with endoscopically-removed pT1 colorectal cancer (CRC). A reproducible assessment of this risk of recurrence based on histopathological parameters is
Eighty-two cases of giant cell tumor (GCT) were reviewed. Hematoxylin-eosin-and hematoxylin, phloxine, saffron, and alcian green-stained sections (82 cases) were examined for mitotic rate, the number of giant cells, and the pleomorphism of the stromal cells. In 29 cases, the tumor was stained for
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is an optical device that aims to image histological architecture and may be used to reduce positive surgical margins. The ability of CLE to describe prostatic and periprostatic tissues, and prostate cancer (PCa) is still an object of Increased deposition and reorientation of stromal collagen fibers are associated with breast cancer progression and invasiveness. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) may be sensitive to the collagen fiber organization in the stroma and could provide important biomarkers for breast cancer BACKGROUND
Saffron is harvested from the dried, dark red stigmas of Crocus sativus flowers. It is used as a spice for flavoring and coloring food as a perfume. It is often used for treating several diseases. We investigated the potential of the ethanolic extract of saffron to induce
OBJECTIVE
Crocin (Cro) and crocetin (Crt) are two widely known saffron carotenoids, which exert anticancer effects by different mechanisms. Here, we investigated and compared the preventive effect of Cro and Crt at the initiation and promotion stages of breast cancer induction in an animal
We aimed to describe hysteroscopic peritumoral tracer injection for detecting sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with endometrial cancer and to evaluate tolerance of the procedure, detection rate and location of SLNs. Five patients with early endometrial cancer underwent hysteroscopic
Sixty pituitary tumors from 151 aging rats of the BN/BiRij strain, the WAG/Rij strain and their F1 hybrid were studied light microscopically. The lowest tumor incidence (18%) was found in the BN/BiRij strain, the highest incidence (71%) in the WAG/Rij strain. In the F1 hybrid the incidence (45%) was
OBJECTIVE
To map sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) detected by intracervical injection in patients with endometrial cancer and to determine the prevalence of node micrometastases.
METHODS
Radionuclide and blue dye injections were used for SLN detection in 43 patients with clinical stage I endometrial
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an important member of the antioxidant defense system and is proposed as a therapeutic agent against the ROS-mediated diseases, and a therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Saffron carotenoids, crocin (Cro) and crocetin (Crt), are antioxidants with anticancer
