Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare, highly malignant neoplasm that originates in the adrenal cortex and is difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma, especially if it is gigantic and nonfunctional. We report the case of a 40-year-old man with an incidental mass in the right upper abdomen. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the mass originated from the right kidney and was highly suggestive...
To differentiate the benign and/or malignant epithelial cells in prostate cancer (PCa) glands of native Japanese (NJ) and Japanese-American (JA) men using biomarkers.Tissue microarrays from radical prostatectomy specimens of cancerous and adjacent benign areas from 25 NJ and 25 JA prostate glands were studied. Image analysis was used to quantify total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and proPSA immunohistochemical...
To investigate the clinical utility of the subforms of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA), namely proPSA and “benign” PSA (BPSA), to improve cancer detection when the percent free PSA level is less than 15%. Percent free PSA, while maintaining sensitivity, has greatly improved the specificity of PSA for the early detection of prostate cancer. A low percent free PSA value indicates a greater risk...
