Introduction: Although computed tomography (CT) is the best mean to identify adrenal neoplasms there is still controversy of the concordance of the estimated radiological and histological size of the lesion. Since the size of adrenal tumours is a major criterion for surgical excision, we investigated whether recent and more sophisticated imaging techniques, can more accurately predict tumor’s size.Methods: We have retrospectively analyzed a series o...

Introduction: Ephrin receptors (EPHs) have a role in tumor growth, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis of several neoplasms. Aim of the study was to investigate the expression and possible clinical significance of EPH-A4 and EPH-A2 protein expression in the pathophysiology of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).Methods: EPH-A4 and -A2 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis along with Ki-67 proliferation index (%) on 28 paraffin emb...
