BACKGROUND
Atypical teratoid/rhaboid tumors (AT/RTs) and extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumors are highly malignant neoplasms with a dismal prognosis. These tumors predominantly affect infants and targeted, adjuvant treatment approaches would be highly desirable.
METHODS
In the current study, the
Cancer is often seen as a disease of mutations and chromosomal abnormalities. However, some cancers, including pediatric rhabdoid tumors (RTs), lack recurrent alterations targetable by current drugs and need alternative, informed therapeutic options. To nominate potential targets, we performed a
UNASSIGNED
Recently, 3 molecular subgroups of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) were identified, but little is known of their clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics.
UNASSIGNED
A total of 43 patients with known molecular subgroup status (ATRT-sonic hedgehog [SHH], n =
OBJECTIVE
Children who undergo standard therapy for renal tumors are at an increased risk for treatment sequelae such as congestive heart failure, abnormal trunk development, and secondary malignancies. Therefore, research on the use of novel chemotherapeutic agents with fewer side effects is
Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are characterized by unique neoplastic cells demonstrating phenotypic diversity. By using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, we have detected expression of various genes before and after differentiation induction with four different agents in four
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system comprising a mixture of small round cells and mesenchymal and/or epithelial elements, showing mutation of the SMARCB1 gene or SMARCA4 gene. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the tyrosine
The G401 cell line derived from a rhabdoid tumor of the kidney secretes the heparin-binding growth factors midkine and pleiotrophin. Both proteins act as mitogens for diverse cells, but only midkine serves as an autocrine mitogen for G401 tumor cells. We show that midkine specifically binds a
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a highly malignant central nervous system neoplasm that usually affects infants and young children. In this report, we describe culture conditions that enabled the sustained growth of tumor cells obtained from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of an infant
OBJECTIVE
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm of young children. Current treatments have had only limited success. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was found recently to be expressed on MRT cell lines. Gefitinib (trade name Iressa) is an oral and selective
Malignant rhabdoid tumours (MRTs) in the kidney are rare paediatric tumours that are extremely rare in adults. We herein report the case of an adult patient with a renal MRT. A 79-year-old Japanese woman was found to have a tumour sized 63×48 mm in the left kidney, in addition to multiple metastatic
Malignant rhabdoid tumors are extremely aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas that tend to be widely metastatic at diagnosis. These tumors were first described as variants of the kidney neoplasm Wilms' tumor, although tumors of similar clinicopathologic features have been cited in a variety of extrarenal
BACKGROUND
Currently, Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT) constitutes one of the most difficult to treat malignancies in pediatrics. Hence, new knowledge of potential targets for therapeutics and the development of novel treatment approaches are urgently needed. We have evaluated the presence
BACKGROUND
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), originally described as a rare renal sarcoma in childhood, has been known to express phenotypic diversity. In this study, unique characteristics of the MRT cells were investigated by using established cell lines.
METHODS
Immunocytochemical, ultrastructural,
Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system (CNS ATRT) is a malignancy that commonly affects young children. The biological mechanisms contributing to tumor aggressiveness and resistance to conventional therapies in ATRT are unknown. Previous studies have shown the activity of
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare intracranial tumor occurring predominantly in young children. The prognosis is poor, and no effective treatment is currently available. To develop novel effective therapies, there is a need for experimental models for AT/RT. In this research, we
