Globular C1q Receptor (gC1qR/p32/HABP1) Is Overexpressed in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Is Associated With Increased Survival in Surgical Patients Treated With Chemotherapy.

Frontiers in Oncology 2019 October 11 [Link] Abstract Introduction: Globular C1q receptor (gC1qR/p32/HABP1) is overexpressed in a variety of cancers, particularly adenocarcinomas. This study investigated gC1qR expression in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and its pathophysiologic correlates in a surgical patient cohort. Methods: Tissue microarrays comprising 6 tumoral and 3 stromal cores from 265 patients with MPM (216 epithelioid, […]

Clinicopathologic study of deciduoid mesothelioma using SMARCB1/INI1 immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Human Pathology 2019 August 22 [Link] Kawai T, Ogata S, Nakashima H, Urabe S, Murakami I, Hiroshima K Abstract Deciduoid mesothelioma is a rare variant of epithelioid mesothelioma. Malignant rhabdoid tumors, renal medullary carcinoma, and some synovial sarcomas show a loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein, a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. All of those tumors […]
