Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.2K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

The Retinoblastoma Gene

3.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum01:21

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

6.6K
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or smooth ER is a sub-organelle with specialized functions in animal cells and plant cells. It is often associated with the tubule morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum.
The ER provides optimal conditions for synthesizing steroid hormones and lipids, such as phospholipids and triglycerides. Traditionally, lipid metabolism was considered to be a smooth ER function. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that rough ER is completely excluded from lipid...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Rare Cancers
  • Neurosurgical Oncology

Background:

  • Ewing's sarcoma is a rare, aggressive cancer primarily affecting bones and soft tissues in children and young adults.
  • Primary kidney involvement is exceptionally rare, making diagnosis challenging.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with an abdominal mass, a rare manifestation of Ewing's sarcoma.
  • The tumor's primary location in the kidney posed significant diagnostic difficulties.
  • Initial presentation mimicked other pediatric abdominal pathologies.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with primary Ewing's sarcoma of the kidney.
  • Diagnostic challenges included differentiating it from other renal tumors and soft tissue sarcomas.
  • Histopathological and imaging studies were crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses in pediatric oncology.
  • Early detection and aggressive multimodal treatment (surgery and chemotherapy) are vital for favorable outcomes.
  • Further research into rare pediatric cancer presentations can improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies.
