(4) The results obtained indicated that CEA may be used as a marker for tumour progression up to the point of malignant transformation, after which the selection for anaplastic variants during continuous in vitro culture may result in the subsequent reduction of cell membrane CEA expression.
(5) Moreover, S-phase prolongation was observed with the malignant changes, and the cell cycle time did not differ markedly among normal epithelium (22.8 hr), anaplastic epithelium (23.0 hr), and frank invasive carcinoma (26.1 hr).
(6) Based on the histological and immunohistochemical examination the tumors were differentiated as Burkitt's lymphoma (n = 1), as anaplastic large cell (ALC) lymphoma of the B-cell type (n = 1), as high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma not classifiable according to the Kiel classification (n = 1), as immunoblastic-plasmoblastic lymphoma (n = 1), and as centroblastic lymphoma (n = 1).
(7) Electron microscopy of two cases of anaplastic giant cell tumor of the thyroid revealed that these neoplasms consisted of pleomorphic cells with large, bizarre-shaped nuclei and relatively little cytoplasm rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum.
(8) The median survival of all patients was 15 months, of glioblastoma (n = 41) 5.1 months, of anaplastic astrocytoma (n = 29) 12.4 months, of benign grade I-II astrocytoma (n = 30) 93.5 months, of other glioma 82.9 months (n = 27), and of probable glioma 9.8 months (n = 19); 22 patients are still alive 8.9-11.9 years after diagnosis.
(9) However, no such arrays were found in the plasma membranes of anaplastic glioma or glioblastoma tissues.
(10) Both large and small-cell anaplastic patients had significantly depressed lymphocyte proliferation by mitogens and allogeneic cells.
(11) The other 2 cases were identified as epidermoid carcinoma or anaplastic carcinoma as desmosome and tonofilaments were found.
(12) This is unlike DAB-1 and DAB-2 which showed poorly differentiated trabecular or anaplastic carcinomatous patterns.
(13) The predominant picture in the three cases was that of a mucinous cystic tumor, but small nodules of solid anaplastic carcinoma were found in all three cases.
(14) Of 874 morphologically classified tumours, squamous cell composed 45%, undifferentiated large cell 17%, small cell anaplastic 14%, adenocarcinoma 19%, carcinoid 2% and others 3%.
(15) Contact area for the continuous dog-kidney cell line MDCK was larger than that of either the leukemic blood cell RBL-1 or the anaplastic human colon cell HCT-15.
(16) However, while partially retaining their secretory capability, the anaplastic cells progressively lose their capacity to synthetize basal lamina and develop complex cellular attachments.
(17) The 2-year survival rates were 36% for anaplastic gliomas and 16% for glioblastomas.
(18) Many of the tumor cells were only slightly atypical but careful examination revealed at least some significantly anaplastic cells in every case, the degree of cellular atypia tending to parallel the depth of invasion.
(19) The patterns of immunoreactivity of large cell anaplastic lymphoma were similar, except that none was positive with B-cell antibodies and three were positive with T-cell antibodies.
(20) Reported is the case of a 70-year-old woman who, on diagnosis, was found to have a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland that showed an anaplastic transformation of a metastatic lesion of the right cervical lymph node.
