Excerpt

Leiomyosarcomas are rare, comprising only 0.1 % of all primary pancreatic malignancies [1]. They originate from smooth muscle and are most commonly found within the stomach and small intestine as well as in the large intestine, uterus, and retroperitoneum [2]. Leiomyosarcomas have a predilection for hematogenous spread with the liver and lungs being the most common sites of metastasis. Diagnosis requires immunohistochemical confirmation with positivity most commonly seen for smooth muscle actin (SMA), caldesmon, vimentin, and desmin. In a recent review, only 25 cases of solitary metastatic leiomyosarcomas were found in the literature [3]. …

Blutdrucksenkung könnte Uterusmyome verhindern

Frauen mit unbehandelter oder neu auftretender Hypertonie haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Uterusmyome. Eine Therapie mit Antihypertensiva geht hingegen mit einer verringerten Inzidenz der gutartigen Tumoren einher.

Alphablocker schützt vor Miktionsproblemen nach der Biopsie

16.05.2024 alpha-1-Rezeptorantagonisten Nachrichten

Nach einer Prostatabiopsie treten häufig Probleme beim Wasserlassen auf. Ob sich das durch den periinterventionellen Einsatz von Alphablockern verhindern lässt, haben australische Mediziner im Zuge einer Metaanalyse untersucht.

Antikörper-Wirkstoff-Konjugat hält solide Tumoren in Schach

16.05.2024 Zielgerichtete Therapie Nachrichten

Trastuzumab deruxtecan scheint auch jenseits von Lungenkrebs gut gegen solide Tumoren mit HER2-Mutationen zu wirken. Dafür sprechen die Daten einer offenen Pan-Tumor-Studie.

Mammakarzinom: Senken Statine das krebsbedingte Sterberisiko?
