Their monoclonal origin (as indicated by recent investigations) indicates the neoplastic nature of most endometriotic lesions. p53, a representative tumor suppressor, regulates cell proliferation, and genetic alterations in p53 are involved…
Four endometriotic lesions were examined for the presence of genetic alterations in microsatellite marker sites among eight tumor suppressor genes. For this, a microdissection method was used on paraffin sections. Only one instance of loss …
BACKGROUND: Serum levels of CA125 and CA 19-9 are often elevated in patients with endometriosis, but the clinical or biological significance of this is not well established. The aim of the present study was to compare serum and tissue level…
In the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, proliferative activity and expression levels of cell cycle-regulatory molecules are higher in endometriotic lesions than in the corresponding eutopic endometrium. In some endometriotic lesions,…
A case of ovarian pregnancy associated with microscopic endometriosis is described. The case satisfied Spiegelberg's four criteria. The associated endometriotic lesion histologically showed prominent decidual change.
Histological features of 21 cases of postmenopausal endometriosis as well as the corresponding eutopic endometrium were studied. Immunocytochemical analysis of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 nuclear antigen wa…
This study was designed to investigate whether or not the pelvic peritoneum exhibits a metaplastic process into müllerian-type epithelium using a marker for epithelial differentiation (Ber-EP4 antigen) and markers that indicate müllerian di…
Immunohistochemical expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was studied in the endometrium and in endometriotic lesions during the menstrual cycle and in post-menopausal patients. During the menstrual cycle, in the basal lay…
Endometrial carcinoma in 40 women under 40 years of age (group A), was analyzed clinicopathologically in comparison with that in 126 women over 50 years of age (group B). 1. The incidence of endometrial carcinoma in women under 40 years of …
Immunohistochemical study with various monoclonal antibodies to the mononuclear cell surface antigens was carried out on the regional lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer to assess the augmentative effect of lentinan. Zero, 2, 4, or…
The clinical and pathological findings in 23 cases of clear cell carcinoma of the ovary treated at Cancer Institute Hospital from January 1951 to September 1987 are discussed. Clear cell carcinoma accounted for 7.1% of all malignant tumors …
