Radiologic Staging of Gastrointestinal Neoplasms

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1984
In this article, the ability of computed tomography as well as other imaging methods to detect local and distant metastases in patients with either newly diagnosed or suspected recurrent gastrointestinal tumors is discussed. The role of the radiologic examination in the diagnosis of complications resulting from different types of treatment is also ...

NEOPLASMS OF THE UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1994
Neoplasms of the upper gastrointestinal tract are generally detected by barium studies or endoscopy. Computed tomography remains the primary imaging modality for staging. Magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography may also play an increasing role in evaluating these tumors.

Overt gastrointestinal bleeding in haematologic neoplasms

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2005
Patients with acute leukaemia suffer from various haemorrhages, most frequently due to thrombocytopenia. We could not reach any information regarding the frequency of gastrointestinal bleeding in acute leukaemia and decided to search this complication in patients with acute and chronic leukaemias and myeloproliferative disorders, retrospectively.During

Plasminogen Activators and Gastrointestinal Neoplasms

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989
Plasminogen activators are involved in the growth, the local invasion, and the metastatic spreading of cancer. In particular, the urokinase type of plasminogen activator (u-PA) is produced and secreted by adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract.

A Classification System of Echogenicity for Gastrointestinal Neoplasms

Digestion, 2005
<i>Background and Aims:</i> To confirm the utility of a newly-devised endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) echogenicity classification system, which is based on the normal five-layer structure of the gastrointestinal wall, for the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal neoplasms.

Gastrointestinal Surgery of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

2015
Surgery is the only treatment that may cure the patient with gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) and should always be considered as the first-line treatment if radical resection can be achieved. Even in cases where radical surgery is not possible, palliative resection may be performed to reduce local or hormone-induced symptoms

Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Neoplasms in AIDS

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1988
There is an increased frequency of Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in patients with AIDS. These "opportunistic malignancies" establish the diagnosis of AIDS in an HIV-positive patient and are associated with a high likelihood of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary involvement.

Neoplasms of the Bovine Gastrointestinal Tract

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1990
Neoplasms of the bovine gastrointestinal tract are rare, possibly because of the low age of the sample population (slaughtered cattle). Forestomach neoplasia (papilloma/squamous cell carcinoma) has a high incidence in cattle from northern England and Scotland because of the mutagenic effects of bracken fern consumption and its interaction with BPV-4 ...

Role of ultrasonography in the staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 2001
AbstractThis article reviews the capabilities and limits of ultrasonography (US) in the staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms. US is a well‐established tool in the investigation of abdominal diseases. Its role is very important in the first approach to liver, gallbladder, biliary, and pancreatic diseases, but its abilities for accurate staging may be ...
