Ovarian teratoma recurrence after anti-NMDA encephalitis and fertility management: a clinical case

RESUMEN CASO CLÍNICO: la encefalitis anti receptor N-metil D-aspartato (NMDAR) es un trastorno autoinmune con un amplio espectro de síntomas neuropsiquiátricos. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 22 años con una encefalitis anti-NMDA que cursó con amnesia, crisis parciales complejas y alteraciones...

Incidência aumentada de haplótipo de HLA de classe II na anafilaxia grave secundária à carboplatina

Objetivo: O papel de biomarcadores nas reações de hipersensibilidade a platinas tem sido estudado, e é conhecido que a presença da mutação do gene BRCA1/2 é fator de risco para reações de hipersensibilidade à carboplatina. A genotipagem de HLA de classes I e II auxilia na identificação de pac...

Tumor de células de la granulosa: neoplasia estromal de los cordones sexuales: revisión de la literatura, a propósito de dos casos clínicos
Granulosa cell tumor: stromal neoplasm of the sexual cords: review of the literature and clinical cases

Los tumores de las células de la granulosa, hacen referencia a un conjunto de neoplasias derivadas del tejido estromal de los cordones sexuales, secretores de estrógenos, que corresponden al 1-5% de todos los tumores malignos del ovario, aunque pueden presentar localizaciones extraováricas. Son tumore...

Acute Abdomen Secondary to Ruptured Epithelial Ovarian Cancer during Pregnancy: The Relevance of Teamwork

Abstract Acute abdomen secondary to epithelial ovarian cancer rupture during pregnancy is a rare event. Our aim is to present how the work of a coordinated multidisciplinary team in a case of ruptured epithelial ovarian cancer during pregnancy is feasible to obtain the best results possible. A 34-year-ol...

Causa muy rara de pubertad precoz periférica en una niña: tumor de cordones sexuales con túbulos anulares

Arch. argent. pediatr; 115 (3), 2017
El tumor de los cordones sexuales con túbulos anulares es una neoplasia del estroma gonadal muy infrecuente. Representa el 0,05-0,6% de todos los tumores ováricos, según series. Se presenta un caso especialmente inusual, en una niña de 6 años, detectado a raíz de una pubertad precoz periférica iso...

Rev. medica electron; 39 (supl.1), 2017
Introducción: actualmente en Cuba y en todo el mundo, el cáncer de ovario representa la octava causa más importante de neoplasias malignas en la mujer, pero es la cuarta causa relacionada con la mortalidad. Objetivo: identificar el comportamiento por tipos histológicos y por tratamientos del cáncer ...

Regulation of semaphorin 4D expression and cell proliferation of ovarian cancer by ERalpha and ERbeta

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (3), 2017
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. Semaphorin 4D (sema 4D) is involved in the progress of multiple cancers. In the presence of estrogen-like ligands, estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) participate in the progress of breast and ovarian cancers by transcriptional regula...

Relationship between matrix metalloproteinases and the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (6), 2017
Ovarian cancer is one of the most malignant genital cancers, with a high mortality rate. Many researchers have suggested that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have remarkably high expression in ovarian cancer tissues. MMPs are considered to be related to the occurrence, development, invasion and metastas...

Circulating tumor cells as a new and additional approach to follow-up patients with serous low-grade ovarian adenocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature

Appl. cancer res; 37 (), 2017
Background: Current methods for follow-up of Ovarian Cancer (OC) are widespread, especially with CA125, which, however, is not a perfect biomarker and thus further investigation for new methods of evaluation are warranted. The feasibility of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in advanced OC was investigated ...

Mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and other breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes in Central and South American populations

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. A major advance in the understanding of the genetic etiology of BC was the discovery of BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) genes, which are considered high-penetrance BC genes. In non-carriers of BRCA1/2 mutations, disease susceptibility may ...
