The histologic differential diagnosis is predicated on whether the tumor is biphasic or monophasic; it includes adenocarcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, glomangiopericytoma (hemangiopericytoma), leiomyosarcoma, malignant melanoma, epithelioid sarcoma, and angiosarcoma. Seeking an explanation, Jian-Wei Gu and his colleagues at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson inoculated chick embryos with human fibrosarcoma cells, derived from a type of bone cancer. In this new study titled Prevention of inflammation-mediated acquisition of metastatic properties of benign mouse fibrosarcoma cells by administration of an orally available superoxide dismutase, published in the British Journal of Cancer (2006), SOD/gliadin was shown to prevent the progression of tumors that are influenced by oxidative stress and inflammation in mice. |
