Neoplastic Liability in Klinefelter's Syndrome

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1966
One of the common clinical interests shared by physicians and psychiatrists is the genetically determined syndrome to which Klinefelter has given his name. Over the past few years positive identification has become possible through advances in cytogenetics, and more recently evidence has been accumulating which seems to indicate that a significant ...

Ectopic Hormonal Syndromes in Neoplastic Disease

Hospital Practice, 1987
Because tumors have enormous capacity to produce peptides that are active systemically, malignant disease is often associated with nonmetastatic manifestations—some resembling endocrine syndromes. Although the mechanisms of these syndromes are heterogeneous, molecular biology techniques have revealed several common patterns.

Brain tryptophan and the neoplastic anorexia-cachexia syndrome

Cancer, 1979
The cause of anorexia associated with neoplasia is unknown, and some investigators have suggested a central mechanism. Recent neurophysiologic studies have revealed the possible role of serotoninergic system involving tryptophan (TRP) and its indole neurotransmitter metabolites in regulating particular aspects of feeding behavior.

HCV-related autoimmune and neoplastic disorders: the HCV syndrome

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2007
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection may be associated with a great number of both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. HCV lymphotropism is responsible for poly-oligoclonal B-lymphocyte expansion, which is the common underlying alteration in a significant percentage of HCV-infected individuals.

Neoplastic and paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the skin

2012
Neoplasms of the skin are the most frequently diagnosed tumours of domesticated animals. The prevalence varies depending on the study and geographical location, but in dogs and cats they represent between 25% and 58% of all neoplasms. More than 25 morphologically distinct cutaneous neoplasms have been described.

[Neoplastic polyendocrine syndromes and the kidney].

Giornale italiano di nefrologia : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di nefrologia, 2011
Some neoplastic polyendocrine syndromes may affect the kidney. These include multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and 2 (MEN 1, MEN 2) as well as mixed syndromes characterized by endocrine and non-endocrine diseases. Kidney involvement may be related to secondary systemic hypertension or diabetes mellitus, direct hormonal effects, and benign or ...
