IgG4-associated cholangitis: a comparative histological and immunophenotypic study with primary sclerosing cholangitis on liver biopsy material
(Springer Nature, 2009)
IgG4-associated cholangitis is a steroid-responsive hepatobiliary inflammatory condition associated with autoimmune pancreatitis that clinically and radiologically mimics primary sclerosing cholangitis. In this study, we ...
Plasma Soluble VEGFR-1 Is a Potential Dual Biomarker of Response and Toxicity for Bevacizumab with Chemoradiation in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer
(Alphamed Press, 2010)
We explored plasma and urinary concentrations of two members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and their receptors as potential response and toxicity biomarkers of bevacizumab with neoadjuvant ...
En bloc esophageal mucosectomy for concentric circumferential mucosal resection (with video)
(Elsevier BV, 2009)
Background: With conventional EMR, specimens are fragmented, metaplasia may be left behind, and invasive lesions could be missed because of incomplete sampling. Concentric subtotal esophageal mucosectomy would address these ...
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and nodular regenerative hyperplasia are frequent oxaliplatin-associated liver lesions and partially prevented by bevacizumab in patients with hepatic colorectal metastasis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
AIMS: Because of its efficacy, oxaliplatin (OX) is increasingly used as a chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Oxaliplatin-associated liver toxicity has been reported and can affect ...
Serous Cystadenoma of the Pancreas: Limitations and Pitfalls of EUS Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)
BACKGROUND: Expectant management of serous cystadenoma (SCA) of the pancreas requires an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Previously published cytologic diagnostic sensitivities have ranged widely, from 10% to 100%. In the ...
Comprehensive Imaging of Gastroesophageal Biopsy Samples by Spectrally Encoded Confocal Microscopy
(Elsevier BV, 2010)
Background: Spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a high-speed reflectance confocal microscopy technique that has the potential to be used for acquiring comprehensive images of the entire distal esophagus ...
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Long-Term Survival Does Not Equal Cure
(Elsevier BV, 2012)
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma represents 90% of pancreatic cancers and is an important cause of cancer death in the United States. Operative resection remains as the only treatment providing prolonged survival, ...
Consensus Statement on the Pathology of IgG4-Related Disease
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
IgG4-related disease is a newly recognized fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by several features: a tendency to form tumefactive lesions in multiple sites; a characteristic histopathological appearance; and—often ...
Autoimmune pancreatitis-related cholecystitis: a morphologically and immunologically distinctive form of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing cholecystitis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)
Aims: Gallbladder involvement in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is reported to be histologically similar to that seen in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and biliary obstruction secondary to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...
Cell polarity protein Lgl2 is lost or aberrantly localized in gastric dysplasia and adenocarcinoma: an immunohistochemical study
(Springer Nature, 2009)
The diagnosis of gastric epithelial dysplasia, a precursor lesion of gastric adenocarcinoma, is hindered by interobserver variability and by its resemblance to regenerative changes. Loss of cell polarity, a histological ...
