Histochemistry is the golden standard in the diagnosis of carcinosarcomas

November 15, 2007

A case study of carcinosarcoma has been published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology on November 7, 2007. The patient in the study was the first case of gastric carcinosarcoma obtained in this part of the world . The patient was admitted by Dr. Tomislav Randjelovic as surgeon and Dr. Branka Filipovic as gastroenterologist. The operation was performed by Dr. Randjelovic and his team; the anatomical and patoanatomical evaluation of macroscopic and microscopic features of the tumor were performed by Dr. Babic, Dr. Cemerikic and Dr. Filipovic.

Carcinosarcomas are very rare malignancies in the Western Balkans. Moreover, our case is, to the best of our knowledge, the first ever reported . It is important never to reject the possibility of the appearance of carcinosarcoma in differential diagnosis of the clinical manifestations described in our paper, which appeared to be unspecific and could potentially be connected with numerous diseases of the stomach.




Their case shows that histochemistry is the golden standard in the diagnosis of carcinosarcomas: epithelial component expressed positivity for cytokeratin 18, epithelial membranous antigen (EMA), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Chromogranin A positive epithelial cells could also be observed. The mesenchymal component had intensive staining for vimentin, although neither muscular nor neural differentiation could be found. No Helicobacter pylori was seen.

Theta Minerals Indium (16 oz)

Theta Minerals Indium (16 oz)
by The Wolfe Clinic

Indium exists in small amounts, and is not water-soluble in nature. It is for this reason that it is designated a trace mineral. Testing done in 1975 was unable to determine indium levels in the body due to its low concentration. Indium is vital for our continued good health, and a solution to some of mankind's most dreaded health problems. One of many health problems that research has shown that indium may help is cancer. It has shown to be effective against Walker 256 carcinosarcomas. A 1983 study found that indium sought out and saturated tumor tissue. This is good news given the general tumor reducing characteristics of indium. A 1971 study found that indium supplementation caused a lower incidence of tumors. Indium users have known of it's anti-depressant activity for over two...
