Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcomas. They resemble developing skeletal muscle and are histologically divided into two main subtypes; alveolar and embryonal RMS. Characteristic genomic aberrations,... more
Resection is the only curative treatment option for primary and secondary malignant tumors of the liver. Although curative resection is associated with long-term survival rates, it can only be performed in 10% of patients with primary... more
Objective— To describe a surgical technique for resection of the entire bladder neck, including the trigone and proximal urethra in dogs with invasive tumors causing life-threatening urinary tract obstruction.Study Design— Clinical case... more
While fairly complete and reliable incident data on childhood cancers are available from the registries in India, mortality and survival information is not. Information concerning the latter was obtained by the Bangalore cancer registry... more
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare childhood cancer that affects only approximately 300 children per year in the United States. The purpose of this review is to provide the reader a greater understanding of the complex diagnosis, assessment and... more
Orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is mesenchymal tumor, presents 10-20% of all rhabdomyosarcoma are usually diagnosed in children. It presents clinically by rapidly progressive unilateral proptosis. Imaging is fundamental to assessing the extent... more
As for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of other anatomic regions, the evaluation of traditional clinicopathological parameters does not allow the unequivocal outcome prediction of the single cases of orbital RMS. We investigated the role of DNA... more
A rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is unusual and is termed as a malignant triton tumor. A series of 10 such cases with their clinicomorphological features, diagnosed over a 10-year period, is... more

To evaluate the performance of seven different TPS (Treatment Planning Systems: Corvus, Eclipse, Hyperion, KonRad, Oncentra Masterplan, Pinnacle and PrecisePLAN) when intensity modulated (IMRT) plans are designed for paediatric tumours.... more
The Pax3FKHR fusion protein is present in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and results from the t (2; 13)(q35; q14) chromosomal translocation. Its oncogenic activity is dependent on a combination of proteinDNA and proteinprotein interactions... more
Objective The aim of this study was to identify novel genes following genomic DNA copy number changes using a genome-wide array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) analysis in uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS). Methods Genomic... more
Histologic grading has been considered the most important prognostic factor for soft tissue sarcomas. Several grading systems have been proposed based on the assessment of morphologic features in heterogeneous groups of sarcomas.... more
