## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Astrocytoma is a primary brain tumor that affects 20,000 Americans each year. To date, only age and histologic grade stand out as independent predictors of survival. There is now increased interest in the use of molecular markers as objective standards against which to es

Mutations in the p53 tumour-suppressor gene (exons 5-8) were investigated in 31 Belarussian childhood thyroid tumours (24 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma, 3 benign tumours and 2 cases each of thyroiditis and goiter); 33 thyroid tumours from juveniles and adults without radiation exposures (25 c
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 10 is the most common genetic changes in glioblastomas of World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In most cases, the allelic losses involve loci along the entire chromosome, a finding in line with monosomy 10. LOH on chromosome 10 ma
Most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) first occur as well-differentiated HCCs, from which poorly differentiated HCC cells develop because of dedifferentiation. In this study, we try to clarify the changes of dedifferentiation and cell proliferative activity and their relationship in small HCCs (less
