The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

4.6K
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,...

Non-LTR Retrotransposons03:18

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

13.0K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

6.0K
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...

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum01:21

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

7.6K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms (PRN) are rare and often benign. Complete tumor resection (TR) offers a good prognosis, with expectant management suitable for small, asymptomatic cases.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms (PRN) originate from diverse tissues, with soft tissue sarcomas (STS) being the most common.
  • Non-sarcomatous PRN are rare and less understood, necessitating further investigation into their characteristics and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinicopathologic and radiologic features of non-sarcomatous PRN.
  • To assess the outcomes of complete tumor resection (TR) for these rare neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent resection of retroperitoneal lesions between June 2006 and January 2015.
  • Inclusion of final pathology for non-sarcomatous PRN to confirm diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • The study included 36 patients with PRN, predominantly neurogenic, fat-containing, or cystic types.
  • Complete TR was achieved in 97% of cases, with low operative complication rates (11%) and no mortality.
  • Median overall survival was 53 months, indicating a generally favorable outcome.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the radiologic features of PRN is crucial for appropriate patient management.
  • Non-sarcomatous PRN are typically benign with an indolent course, differing from STS.
  • Complete TR ensures a good prognosis; expectant management is an option for small, asymptomatic, benign PRN.
