A tube is inserted through a patient's nose or throat , down through the esophagus and stomach then into the small intestine duodenum. There, a small probe is inserted into the ampulla of Vater. A dye is injected through the probe and into the pancreatic and bile ducts. X-rays are then taken to visualize the pancreatic and bile ducts. Surgical removal of a structure or part of a structure.
For example, pancreat ectomy is the surgical removal of the pancreas or a portion of it. These are specialized cells that produce hormones released into the bloodstream.
For example, the islets of Langerhans are endocrine cells in the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. This hormone helps control blood sugar glucose levels. Some rare tumors of the pancreas, the endocrine Islet Cell tumors, can produce these same hormones. It is very important that these rare tumors be properly diagnosed because it will determine the treatment and prognosis.

A dome shaped muscle that separates the lungs and heart from the abdomen. This muscle assists in breathing. A small anatomic structure. This is essentially a tube that carries various bodily fluids. The pancreatic duct runs the full length of the pancreas and drains into the duodenum. The disease in which the body is unable to appropriately control blood sugar glucose levels.
This may be caused by failure of the pancreas to produce adequate amounts of insulin. A dye, taken by mouth or injected, that is sometimes used during x-ray examinations to highlight areas that otherwise might not be seen. A fluid filled sac. Some tumors of the pancreas, including the serous cystadenomas and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, form cysts. Cysts have a distinct appearance in CT scans. They are important to recognize because the treatment of cystic tumors can differ from that for solid tumors.
The treatment of a cancer by chemicals. For pancreatic cancer these include: Gemzar Gemcitabine , 5-flurouracil, leukovorin, taxol, and others. A way to image internal organs. A series of x-ray pictures taken by a machine that encircles the body like a giant tube. Computers are then used to generate cross-sectional images of the inside of the body. A blood marker for pancreas cancer. It is not a good screening test for diagnosing possible pancreas cancers in individuals without symptoms.
Instead, it can be useful in following the progress of patients known to have a cancer by measuring how their cancer is responding to treatment. A malignant tumor. It has the potential of invading into the adjacent tissues, spreading to other organs and may eventually lead to the patient's death.
The middle part of the pancreas between the neck and the tail. The superior mesenteric blood vessels run behind this part of the gland. A green fluid produced by the liver that helps digest fats. It is transported from the liver to the duodenum by the bile duct. When the flow of bile is blocked, patients may become jaundiced yellow skinned. A duct that carries bile from the liver to the intestine.
This term may refer to the hepatic, cystic or common bile duct. Tumors which are non-cancerous. These generally grow slowly and do not invade adjacent organs or spread metastasize beyond the pancreas.
A radiographic technique used to visualize blood vessels. A contrast medium a dye is usually injected into the vessels to make them appear white on the x-rays. The large artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart. David Mortimer, who co-founded production company Fever Media with Mr Hopkins, paid tribute to "one of the greatest producers of his generation". Mr Hopkins worked on Strictly while he was creative head of format entertainment at the BBC, a role he held between The format was eventually sold to more than 35 different countries.
The spread of and presence of cancer cells that have spread to other organs in the body outside of the primary site. A rare, benign, ovarian tumor which is probably of stromal origin and characterized by a distinctive microcystic appearance. Triad of benign ovarian tumor with ascites and pleural effusion that resolves after resection of the tumor.
Ovarian fibromas constitute the majority of the benign tumors seen in Meigs syndrome. A natural process during which a women ceases to have a menstrual period; this typically occurs in the late 40ss. The ovaries no longer ovulate i. A doctor specialized in the treatment of cancer using hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.
A lump or swelling. A mass can be due to excess fluid or an abnormal growth of cells; the growth of cells can be benign or malignant. An ovarian carcinoma usually of transitional cell type, resembling an invasive urothelial carcinoma. Rarely, the tumor is of squamous type. Cancer cells with the ability to invade surrounding tissue and with the potential to metastasize spread to lymph nodes and distant organs. The small channels that carry the lymph fluid throughout the body and drain through lymph nodes.
A type of white blood cell belonging to the immune system. Lymphocytes have many functions, including fighting viruses and cancer. Small organs comprised of groups of lymphocytes immune cells that filter the lymph fluid that flows through the lymphovascular or lymphatic channels through the body.
Cancers often first use the lymphatic channels to spread through the body. A steroid cell tumor composed of Leydig cells, as proven by the presence of cytoplasmic crystals of Reinke. The diagnosis is occasionally tenable in the absence of crystals when other classic features are present. An invasive carcinoma, usually with distinctive patterns showing low-grade malignant cytological atypia.
An immunostain that marks a gene that is involved in cell proliferation or growth. The degree of Ki67 labeling in a cancer cell correlates to how quickly the tumor is growing and how aggressive it is. See also proliferation index. Refers to metastatic signet-ring cell carcinomas, which may originate from many anatomic sites, stomach most commonly.
As such, invasive implants are equal to invasive low-grade serous carcinoma. A distinctive type of granulosa cell tumor that occurs mainly in children and young adults.
A pattern of growth where the cancer cells grow into invade the surrounding tissues see also infiltrating. Areas of the body that are inflamed often look swollen and red. Something that occurs during an operation. For instance, a frozen section is done intraoperatively. A pattern of growth where the cancer cells grow into invade the surrounding tissues see also invasive. A type of laboratory test that can detect the proteins expressed by a cell.
Examples include immunohistochemistry to look for the expression of the estrogen receptor ER and progesterone receptor PR in ovarian cancer cells. A type of treatment that uses the immune system to fight cancer; these therapies target proteins expressed by immune cells or on the cancer cell. A substance released into the blood that influence how other tissue behave and grow. Examples include estrogen, progesterone, and androgen. A receptor protein that binds hormones within a cell in order to affect changes within the cell.
Tumors with high numbers of hormone receptors need hormones to grow. A form of systemic treatment that blocks hormones from getting to the cancers that have hormone receptors. A carcinoma composed of epithelial cells displaying papillary, glandular often slit-like and solid patterns with high-grade nuclear atypia.
A steroid cell tumor composed of Leydig cells. Ovarian Leydig cell tumors have been divided into two subtypes by some pathologists, the hilus cell tumor and the Leydig cell tumor, nonhilar type. A type of dye that is applied to tissue sections so that the cells absorb the color and can be seen with the eye when looking under the microscope. This dye turns the nuclei blue and the cytoplasm pink. A histologic description of how closely the cancer cells resemble their normal cell of origin.
In general, the overall grade score is calculated by looking at the mitotic rate, the nuclear grade or atypia, and the degree of gland formation. The final grade will be either grade 1, 2 or 3 or low-grade and high-grade. In general, a higher tumor grade is associated with more aggressive behavior. A small, thin rectangular piece of glass where tissue slices from a biopsy or a surgical specimen are placed and stained with dye so that the tissue can be evaluated under a microscope.
Tissues in the body that make protein secretions; glands are shaped like small round structures. A mutation in DNA that is present at birth and that can be transferred from parent to child. A meeting between a patient and a medical geneticist or counselor to discuss the potential impact of a genetic test result on the health of a patient and for their family.
A member of the healthcare team specialized in diagnosing and interpreting genetic test results. A geneticist might be consulted to help understand germline or somatic mutations. A method that pathologists can perform intra-operatively i. The results are only preliminary, however, and must be confirmed with review of the final FFPE sections.
