Nerve sheath tumors are tumors arising from nerve sheaths or which show nerve sheath differentiation. They are divided as benign and malignant. They are associated with Von Recklinghausen syndrome. Characterised by café-au-lait spots, lisch nodules, acoustic neuromas, One of the most important benign tumors in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is plexiform neurofibroma, and there is a risk of developing malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) throughout life approximately 10%. However lesion characterization by anatomical imaging methods are not possible.
Malignant tumors of peripheral nerve sheath (malignant Schwannoma) arising in mediastinum are rare, principally in patients without Von Recklinghausen's disease been fever exceptional as symptom of presentation. We present a case of a woman without neurofibromatosis with a malignant Schwannoma in
BACKGROUND
Sorafenib and dacarbazine have low single-agent response rates in metastatic sarcomas. As angiogenesis inhibitors can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, we investigated the combination of sorafenib and dacarbazine in select sarcoma subtypes.
METHODS
Patients with leiomyosarcoma (LMS),
Hyperthermia greater than or equal to 42 degrees C is tumoricidal in vitro and in many animal models, although such temperatures have only recently been achieved experimentally in some human cancers. A recently developed radio frequency device that provides safe hyperthermia to any depth without
One hundred and forty adult patients with advanced sarcomas (125 soft tissue and 15 bone) were treated with a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin, and DTIC (CYVADIC). There were 21 (15%) complete and 45 (32%) partial responders, with an overall
The cytokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), has emerged as a likely mediator of many of the systemic alterations observed in patients with cancer (fever, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and alterations in plasma protein composition) and may also mediate local effects such as alteration in
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical and radiological manifestations of primary pulmonary schwannoma in order to improve the diagnosis of this rare disease.
METHODS
Seven cases of primary pulmonary schwannoma which was confirmed by pathology of surgical specimens were retrospectively
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disease consisting of seven types, of which types 1 to 4 are caused by a dominant autosomal gene mutation; such disease sometimes arises in patients with NF type 1. However, it remains unclear whether the origin of neurofibrosarcoma is directly One hundred eighty-five dogs with histologically confirmed, measurable malignant tumors were used in a prospective study to determine the response to 2 doses of the anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, doxorubicin. Eighty-three dogs had been refractory to one or more previous treatment modalities
BACKGROUND
The role of doxorubicin (Doxo) as part of multidrug regimens used to treat children with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is controversial. To evaluate the feasibility of combining Doxo with the well established ifosfamide, vincristine, and actinomycin D (IVA) regimen, the Italian STS Committee
In 1938, the Malignant Triton Tumor (MTT) was first explained by Mason.Case 1: A man aged 28 years presented with chest pain and difficulty in breathing since last five months, there was no history of cough fever or night sweats. Clinical examination was
