Conservative multimodal management of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the thyroid
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) represent 1% of sarcomas. Head and neck peripheral PNETs have an intermediate prognosis between abdominopelvic disease and extremities.

Evidence of a dual histogenetic pathway of sacrococcygeal teratomas [PDF]
Aims Sacrococcygeal teratomas are rare tumours that occur most frequently in neonates, although adult cases also occur. The molecular pathogenesis of these tumours and their long-term prognosis is uncertain.

Molecular pathology of testicular germ cell tumours: an update for practicing pathologists
Molecular testing for isochromosome 12p is usually only necessary in difficult cases that encompass metastases or recurrent diseases including somatic‐type malignancies. So far, no breaking progress has been made in the field of targeted therapy as TGCTs only rarely show targetable molecular alterations.

Ewing Family Tumors: Potential Prognostic Value of Reverse-Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Minimal Residual Disease in Peripheral Blood Samples [PDF]
In more than 95% of patients, the Ewing family of tumors (ET) has chimeric transcripts caused by fusion of the EWS gene to either FLI1 or ERG. The presence of specific EWS-FLI1 or EWS-ERG transcripts in peripheral blood (PB) samples of

Imatinib inhibits proliferation of Ewing tumor cells mediated by the stem cell factor/KIT receptor pathway, and sensitizes cells to vincristine and doxorubicin-induced apoptosis [PDF]
Purpose and Experimental Design: The stem cell factor/ KIT receptor loop may represent a novel target for molecular- based therapies of Ewing tumor. We analyzed the in vitro impact of KIT blockade by imatinib in Ewing tumor cell lines.
