Bristow et al proposed a score based on radiological variables such as peritoneal thickening, peritoneal implants > 2 cm, bowel mesentery tumours > 2 cm, suprarenal lymph nodes > 1 cm, omental extension to the spleen, pelvic sidewall involvement, and hydroureter to identify unresectable disease [ 7].
A computed tomography (CT) scan showed generalized lymphadenopathy, moderate enlargement of liver and spleen, and extension of the genital oedema to the lower abdominal wall.
This grading system (Table 1) is based on the anatomic extension of disruption of the spleen, as shown on CT scans or during laparotomy.
Treatment of mice with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid substantially enhanced natural killer cell activity and correlated closely with a reduction in the growth of the hybridoma tumour cells in the spleen and life extension.
Abdominal CT scans (liver, spleen, grade of ascites and the extension and degree of PVT).
Abdominal CDUS (liver, spleen, grade of ascites 28 and the extension and degree of PVT 24 ).
The common organs and structures surrounding the pancreas that can be involved by tumor extension include the inferior vena cava, aorta, adrenal gland, kidney, spleen, stomach, colon, mesocolon and small bowel.
The GSL is the left lateral extension of the greater omentum connecting the greater curvature of the stomach with the spleen.
The secondary objectives of the extension study were to evaluate the effects of velaglucerase alfa treatment on hemoglobin concentration, platelet count, and spleen and liver volumes (the primary efficacy variables).
