Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma: Multimodality Treatment Results

open access: yesTumori, 2003
Aims and Background Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma is a distinct entity that can occur in many sites, and it is pathologically similar to small-cell lung cancer. We report the results of a retrospective study of a multimodality treatment of 16 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of extrapulmonary small ...

Clinical and therapeutic aspects of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma

open access: yesCancer Treatment Reviews, 2009
Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) is usually treated similarly to small cell lung cancer. Differences in aetiology, clinical course, frequency of brain metastases, and survival, however, warrant a differential therapeutic approach. In this review, we focus on the treatment of the most predominant sites of origin of EPSCC; the gastrointestinal

Extrapulmonary small‐cell carcinoma compared with small‐cell lung carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesCancer, 2007
AbstractBACKGROUND.The study was conducted with the aim of reviewing the clinical features, therapy, and natural course of patients with extrapulmonary small‐cell carcinoma (EPSCC) and small‐cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) to better define current concepts regarding EPSCCs.METHODS.The medical records of patients with proven diagnosis of small‐cell carcinoma

Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma

Cancer, 1997
Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCCA) is often an underrecognized clinicopathologic entity, distinct from small cell lung carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to review the study institution's experience with EPSCCA with specific emphasis on the epidemiology and response to treatment of these uncommon neoplasms.Using the tumor registry ...

Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma: A Pictorial Review

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2011
Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) is a rare, aggressive neoplasm arising from virtually any organ. Numerous oncologic studies have addressed prognostic indicators and survival rates in EPSCC, however relatively little has been published regarding the imaging features and metastatic patterns of these uncommon tumors.

Extrapulmonary small-cell carcinoma of the liver

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, 2004
A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of a mass (13 x 10 cm) in the left lobe of the liver seen by imaging studies. On subsequent biopsy of the mass, the lesion was histologically diagnosed as malignant small round-cell tumor, consistent with metastatic small-cell carcinoma. Segment IV segmentectomy was performed.

The Pathology of Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma

Seminars in Oncology, 2007
Extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas (EPSCCs) are uncommon malignant neoplasms with a reported incidence of 0.1% to 0.4% in the United States. Since their first description in 1930, they have been seen in nearly every organ system. Like their more common pulmonary counterparts, EPSCCs are thought to arise from a multipotential stem cell. However, there

Imaging features of extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma

Clinical Radiology, 2013
Small cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 20% of lung cancers; however, it rarely occurs at other sites. Extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma (EPSCC) is notoriously aggressive with a strong propensity for both regional and distant spread. The majority of the literature on these uncommon tumours is from a clinicopathological viewpoint with a ...
