gallbladder neoplasms/phosphatase

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) in gallbladder cancer (GBC). METHODS Serum ALP and GGT levels and clinicopathological parameters were retrospectively evaluated in 199 GBC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)

Many factors regulate cancer cell apoptosis, among which Survivin has a strong anti-apoptotic effect and PHLPP is a tumor suppressor gene that can induce significant apoptosis. However, the relationship between PHLPP and Survivin in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) has not been reported. This study found

OBJECTIVE Gallbladder carcinoma is usually characterized by late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Skeletal metastases in gallbladder cancer have been rarely reported in literature. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of skeletal metastasis in gallbladder cancer at our high-volume center and their

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive malignancy usually diagnosed in an advanced stage. We investigated the effects of alterations of the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) gene on the occurrence and development of GBC, which has not been previously reported. A total 141 cases of GBC were

Gallbladder cancer is an uncommon malignancy with an overall poor prognosis. The clinical and imaging presentation of gallbladder cancer often overlaps with benign disease, making diagnosis difficult. Gallbladder cancer is most easily diagnosed on imaging when it presents as a mass replacing the

BACKGROUND Consequences of incidental gallbladder cancer (iGBC) following cholecystectomy may include repeat operation (depending on T stage) and worse survival (if bile spillage occurred), both avoidable if iGBC were suspected preoperatively. METHODS A retrospective single-institution review was

We report a 11 years old male diagnosed as a X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome that presented with recurrent infections and sclerosing cholangitis and later developed a gallbladder cancer. Immunological evaluation showed decreased levels of serum IgG and IgA with elevated levels of IgM. Study of CD40

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze surgical outcomes and prognostic factors affecting survival after surgical resection in patients with gallbladder cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 86 patients treated surgically for gallbladder cancer from January 2000 to December 2009 at

BACKGROUND There is no consensus regarding the optimum surgical approach to gallbladder cancer. This study reviews the management of gallbladder cancer in a single unit. METHODS Retrospective study of 73 consecutive patients diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. Twenty-three patients underwent surgery

Presently, no effective markers are available to facilitate gallbladder cancer (GBC) diagnosis. This study aims to explore available markers for GBC diagnosis. Clinical data of 144 GBC and 116 cholelithiasis patients were retrospectively reviewed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to

Cancer-related inflammation and systemic inflammatory markers have been widely recognized as an essential part in tumor multiplication, invasion, and metastasis of tumor cells. This study aimed to estimate and compare the prognostic value of various biomarkers on overall survival (OS) in patients

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between P-glycoprotein expression and anti-cancer drug resistance of gallbladder carcinoma and the use of P-glycoprotein as a biomarker of gallbladder carcinoma, the expression of P-glycoprotein was detected in benign and malignant gallbladder neoplasms and

As a key regulator of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component N-recognin 5 (UBR5) plays an important role in various cancers. In this study, our results showed for the first time that UBR5 was overexpressed in gallbladder cancer (GBC) tumor tissues. UBR5 overexpression
