Occupational factors and risk of adult bone sarcomas:a multicentric case-control study in Europe

2006

International audience; We investigated the association between occupational factors and risk of bone sarcoma, a rare tumor with a largely unknown aetiology. A multicentric case-control study was conducted in 7 European countries in 1995-97. Ninety-six cases aged 35-69 years with a centrally reviewed diagnosis of bone sarcoma (68 chondrosarcomas and 28 osteosarcomas) were compared to 2,632 population (68%) or colon cancer (32%) controls. Subjects were interviewed to obtain information on occupational, medical and reproductive history, smoking and alcohol consumption and selected exposures including use of pesticides. Response proportions were 90% among cases and 66% among controls. Odds rat…

Childhood soft tissue sarcomas incidence and survival in European children (1978-1997): Report from the Automated Childhood Cancer Information System…

2006

This population-based study is based on 5802 cases of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in children aged 0-14 years extracted from the database of the Automated Childhood Cancer Information System (ACCIS) and registered in population-based cancer registries in Europe for the period 1978-1997. STS represent almost 8% of neoplasms in children, almost half of whom are less than 5 years at diagnosis. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequent childhood STS (50%). During 1988-1997 the age-standardised incidence of STS in Europe was 9.1 per million children, lowest in the West and East and highest in the North. The incidence of STS increased almost 2% per year over the period 1978-1997, attributable mostly t…

PML expression in soft tissue sarcoma: prognostic value in alkilating agents/anthracyclin based first line therapy

Immunoreactivity using anti-ERG monoclonal antibodies in sarcomas is influenced by clone selection.

2014

The aim of the present study was to explore ERG immunoreactivity in a series of sarcomas, GIST and malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), considering the not fully elucidated specificity and sensitivity of this antibody. Paraffin-embedded tissue microarrays from those tumors were stained with anti-ERG against the C-terminus [(EPR3864(2)] and N-terminus (Clone 9FY). EPR3864(2) was positive in almost all angiosarcomas, and MRT.GIST were positive in a large proportion of cases (38.4%), and more than half the synovial sarcomas (52.7%) revealed EPR3864(2) staining. Several chondrosarcomas, osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) presented EPR3864(2) expression in a l…

Alteraciones cromosómicas segmentarias como marcador pronóstico en neuroblastoma y sarcomas pediátricos

2020

NEUROBLASTOMA Tumor descrito por primera vez en por el patólogo alemán Virchow en 1864, el neuroblastoma (NB) es el tumor sólido extracraneal más frecuente entre la población pediátrica, y forma parte de los tumores derivados del sistema nervioso simpático (en cadena simpática o ganglios simpáticos). Otros tumores también derivados de la cresta neural son el ganglioneuroblastoma y el ganglioneuroma. Las características del neuroblastoma son las siguientes: - Capacidad de madurar de formas indiferenciadas (neuroblastomas) a formas maduras (ganglioneuroma). - Capacidad de regresar espontáneamente. - Buen pronóstico en pacientes menores de un año. - Comportamiento altamente agresivo en formas …
