Neopterin and Cellular Immune Activation in Active Gynaecological Cancer: Significant Correlation Between Neopterin and Circulating Number of HLA-DR Expressing Lymphocytes

Urine concentrations of neopterin, a marker for the activation of cellular immunity, were determined concomitantly with a large panel of hematological and immunological variables on 24 women with gynaecological cancers (12 uterine cervix, 5 endometrium, 7 ovary).There were 14 women investigated at first diagnosis of carcinoma, and 10 women were stu

Clonality analysis and IDH1 and IDH2 mutation detection in both components of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, implicated its monoclonal origin

Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) is a highly malignant tumor that belongs to an uncommon subtype of chondrosarcoma with a poor prognosis.Microscopically, it is composed of highly differentiated chondrosarcoma and highly malignant noncartilaginous sarcomas with an abrupt interface.The question of whether the two components originated from the
