Value of liver scintiscan in staging of testicular neoplasm

Urology, 1978
A nineteen-year retrospective study of the usefulness of liver scanning in the staging evaluation of germinal cell testicular neoplasms was undertaken at the National Naval Medical Center. Of 94 patients, 90 (96 per cent) demonstrated accurate correlation between liver scan and histopathologic diagnosis.

Laparoscopic Staging of Periampullary Neoplasms

2007
The global concept of preoperative staging of malignancies is to select, as well as possible, those patients who are or are not candidates for operative resection. In the case of periampullary neoplasms, we have good, nonoperative palliation for patients with incurable neoplasms.

Thoracic neoplasms: Imaging requirements for diagnosis and staging

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1984
This article reviews the pathophysiology of thoracic neoplasms and discusses current imaging recommendations for diagnosis and staging of these tumors. Particular emphasis is given to primary lung cancers, which comprise a variety of tumors of differing histologic type and behavior.

Computed Tomographic Staging of Malignant Gastric Neoplasms

Radiology, 1979
Eight patients with proved gastric carcinoma and 3 with gastric lymphoma were studied preoperatively with computed tomography. CT accurately identified abnormal stomach wall thickening and intra-abdominal tumor extension. Mural thickening was seen on the CT scan when a moderately distended stomach had a wall more than 10 mm thick.

Staging of Bone Neoplasms: An Orthopedic Oncologist's Perspective

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2000
The process of staging bone tumors is complex. The goal of staging is to define the type of tumor and its extent. Like staging for other neoplasms, it stratifies patients into groups based on prognosis and established treatment protocols. Staging is a multidisciplinary effort involving orthopedic oncologists, musculoskeletal radiologists, and ...

Endoscopic Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis and Staging of Pancreatic Neoplasms

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer, 2001
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death among Americans. Twenty-eight thousand cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed annually and about the same number of patients die of pancreatic cancer every year. Most patients with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed when the tumor is 3 cm or more in diameter.

Role of computerized tomography in the staging of gastrointestinal neoplasms

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 2001
AbstractGastrointestinal neoplasms are very common diseases, and the first challenge for clinicians is to define the extent of the tumor in order to plan the best treatment. The role of computerized tomography in assessing this kind of patient is well established worldwide.

CT and MR Imaging in Staging Bladder Neoplasms

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1987
Thirteen patients with bladder carcinoma were examined by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT to determine the relative accuracy of the modalities in staging bladder carcinoma. Magnetic resonance correctly identified the presence or absence of extravesical spread of carcinoma in 10 of 13 patients (77%).

Stage specific transforming genes in lymphoid neoplasms

1985
Identification of activated cellular transforming genes in a variety of neoplasms has been greatly facilitated by the use of the NIH 3T3 transfection assay. A unique property of the NIH 3T3 cells is that they have the ability to undergo transformation following integration of dominantly acting genes, possibly because they have already progressed some ...

Overview and Staging of Renal Neoplasms

2016
In 2010, the ISUP drafted the most current classification of renal neoplasm. Among the major additions to the prior 2004 WHO classification are the recognition of tubulocystic RCC, acquired cystic disease-associated RCC, clear cell (tubulo) papillary RCC, MiT family translocation RCC, and hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC syndrome-associated RCC as ...
