To compare lesions occurring in different geographic areas and the diagnostic criteria applied in those countries, a study with a panel of internationally recognized thyroid pathologists to develop consensus diagnostic criteria for PD carcinomas was designed.

It is shown that the RET/PTC1 oncogene induces the expression of a large set of genes involved in inflammation and tumor invasion, including those encoding chemokines, cytokines, and adhesion molecules.

A large group of patients of all ages who were treated at a single institution over a 30‐year period of synovial sarcoma treatment showed clear trends in survival and morbidity.
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans treated at a single institution: a surgical disease with a high cure rate.

- 20 October 2005
This being one of the largest mono-institutional series of DFSP, it is confirmed that long-term outcome is excellent, in terms of both local and distant control, after a wide excision with negative margins.
Prognostic value of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in the vertical growth phase of primary cutaneous melanoma

- 1 April 1996
In an attempt to delineate the histologic diagnostic criteria, to classify different categories of lymphocytic infiltrates, previously described by Elder et al. as brisk, nonbrisk, and absent, and to verify their prognostic significance, 285 consecutive cases of primary cutaneous melanomas are reviewed.
Aggressive surgical policies in a retrospectively reviewed single-institution case series of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma patients.

- MedicineJournal of Clinical Oncology
- 2009
In a single institution, the adoption of a policy of more liberal visceral en bloc resections was paralleled by greater local control, and liposarcomas and grades 1 to 2 tumors had the greatest local benefit at 5 years.

This finding casts doubt on whether RMS is the same disease in adults as it is in children, as published series have reported definitively worse results.
Alternative mutations of BRAF, RET and NTRK1 are associated with similar but distinct gene expression patterns in papillary thyroid cancer
- M. Frattini, C. Ferrario, A. Greco
- BiologyOncogene
- 23 September 2004
Gene expression profiling of a subset of 31 tumors performed using cDNA microarray chips showed no strong differences in global gene expression among the different cases, however, a supervised analysis of the obtained data identified a portion of genes differentially expressed in tumors carrying BRAF mutation or RTK rearrangement.
Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis: A Front-Line Conservative Approach to Select Patients for Surgical Treatment
- M. Fiore, F. Rimareix, S. Bonvalot
- MedicineAnnals of Surgical Oncology
- 1 July 2009
A conservative policy could be a safe approach to primary and recurrent DF, which could avoid unnecessary morbidity from surgery and/or radiation therapy, and a multidisciplinary, stepwise approach should be prospectively tested in DF.
