    A034047-100 Top Secrets.qxd 5/18/06 2:32 PM Page 1 TOP 100 SECRETS These secrets are 100 of the top board alerts. They summarize the concepts, principles, and most salient details of CT body scans. 1. Computed tomography (CT) differs from conventional radiography by forming a cross-sectional image, eliminating the superimposition of structures that occurs in plain film imaging because of compression of three-dimensional body structures onto the two-dimensional recording system. 2. The sensitivity of CT to subtle differences in x-ray attenuation is at least a factor of 10 higher than normally achieved by film screen recording systems because of the virtual elimination of scatter. 3. Radiation doses in CT range from 15–50 mGy, depending on exam type. In general, these doses are at least 10 times higher than in radiographic exams. 4. Always seek to optimize scan parameters to minimize patient dose consistent with diagnostic image quality: Minimize mAs, minimize kVp, maximize pitch, maximize slice thickness, and maximize collimator setting. 5. When scanning children, be sure to use pediatric protocols, not adult protocols. In pediatric protocols the CT scan parameters should be reduced so that radiation doses are optimized according to patient size. 6. Pregnant women should be scanned only if there is adequate justification to avoid unnecessary fetal irradiation. 7. Many of the side effects of contrast media are entirely or mainly due to high osmolality. The other causes of side effects due to contrast media are chemotoxicity (allergic-like symptoms), ion toxicity (interference with cellular function), and those caused by a high dose.

  • Comprehensive Inherited Cancer Precision Panel Overview
    Comprehensive Inherited Cancer Precision Panel Overview Hereditary cancer syndromes are encountered in all medical specialties. Although they account for about 5% of all malignancies, it is of special importance to identify these patients because, unlike patients with sporadic cancers, they require special, long-term care as their predisposition can cause them to develop certain tumors at a relatively early age. These cancers can arise in the lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, skin, eyes, heart. Most hereditary cancers are associated with a “germline mutation” that will be present in every cell of the human body. Identification of patients at risk of inherited cancer susceptibility is dependent upon the ability to characterize genes and alterations associated with increased cancer risk as well as gathering a detailed personal and family history aiding in the identification of the mode of inheritance as well as other family members at risk of suffering from this susceptibility. Most hereditary cancer syndromes follow an autosomal dominant inheritance, and the penetrance is high. The Igenomix Comprehensive Inherited Cancer Precision Panel provides a comprehensive analysis of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant cancer predisposition genes. Indications The Igenomix Comprehensive Inherited Caner Precision Panel is indicated as a screening and diagnostic test in those cases where there are: ‐ Multiple relatives on the same side of the family with the same or related forms of cancer ‐ Cancer at an early age ‐ Early presentation of an aggressive cancer type ‐ Multiple primary cancers in an individual 1 Clinical Utility The clinical utility of this panel is: ‐ Early and accurate genetic diagnosis allowing the most appropriate clinical management of a patient with personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary cancer syndrome.

The molecular characterization of this translocation was initiated using two primary t(5;ll)-positive renal oncocytomas and a panel of soma tic cell hybrids derived from one of these tumors, in conjunction with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Southern blot analysis. The breakpoint in chromosome band llql3 could be located within a genomic interval of at maximum 400 Kb immediately centromeric to the BCLl locus. © Elsevier Science Inc., 1997 INTRODUCTION cytogenetic anomaly in at least 3 independent cases and, as such, should be considered as a primary change.

  • 2015 DQC Review of Answers
    Question 1 A 55-year-old gentleman is referred for Mohs surgery of a biopsy positive metatypical basal cell carcinoma of the R lateral forehead. Based on the findings on this slide what additional tests would you consider? A. Send tissue for CK 20 staining. B. Order a CT to look for pulmonary changes/renal oncocytoma. C. Send tissue for MLH-1, and MSH-2 and 6 staining. D. Check thyroid function tests. Discussion Question 1 Correct Answer: C. Send tissue for MLH-1, and MSH-2 and 6 staining. Main Histologic Features: • Dermal neoplasm with sebaceous differentiation throughout the tumor • Significant mitotic activity with atypical mitoses • No peripheral palisading or peritumoral mucin • Incidental overlying squamous cell carcinoma in situ Differential Diagnosis: • Basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation • Sebaceoma • Trichilemmal carcinoma • Granular cell tumor Clinical Concerns: • Facial neoplasms can be associated with systemic syndromes: Fibrofolliculomas/trichodiscomas seen in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome 80-90% risk of pulmonary cysts 15-20% risk of renal cancer, particularly oncocytoma Trichilemmomas seen in Cowden syndrome Thyroid involved in 66% of cases Malignancy develops in at least 40% of patients. • Sebaceous neoplasms can be seen in Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) which carries an increased risk of colon, genitourinary, breast and hematologic malignancies. • MTS is more commonly associated with extraocular sebaceous carcinomas. • MTS can be screened for by using immunohistochemical tissue stains for MLH-1, MSH-2 and MSH-6 proteins (Muir-Torre panel). Absence of staining identifies tumors with mismatch repair deficiency and suggests MTS, which can then be confirmed by genetic testing. References: • Ansai S, Takeichi H, Arase S, Kawana S, Kimura T.

The purpose of this study of 88% and a specificity of 100%. The concomitant expression of p63 and PAX8 in RMC is to summarize the clinicopathologic features of bRCCs and compare them with those seen in our study further suggests an intermediate phenotype between renal tubular and of unilateral renal cell carcinomas (uRCCs).
