Comparing the four major epithelial histologic cell types, endometrioid has a statistically significant increase in 3-year disease-specific survival compared with the other histologies as seen in Table 2 and Figure 2 (P=0.015).
NSCLC encompasses 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (Adeno-Ca), and large cell lung cancer (LCLC).
Human lung cancers are classified into two major histologic types, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the latter consisting of several subtypes.
A panel of 18 gene promoters was assessed by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (QMSP) in 85 primarily resected renal tumors representing the four major histologic subtypes (52 clear cell (ccRCC), 13 papillary (pRCC), 10 chromophobe (chRCC), and 10 oncocytomas) and 62 paired normal tissue samples.
Its major histologic subtype is clear-cell RCC (ccRCC), with a proportion of 70 85% in RCC (Escudier et al, 2012).
Ovarian cancer consists of 4 major histologic subtypes including serous, clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous [ 1].
The predominant histology of B cell tumors was DLBCL (15 %) and IVLBCL (14 %), while PTCL (12 %) and ENKL (11 %) were the major histologic subtypes noted among T/NK cell tumors [ 5].
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of all lung cancers, and includes two major histologic subtypes: adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (1).
The neoplastic cells had two major histologic patterns, Antoni types A and B. Within occasional foci, pleomorphic cells with an epithelioid appearance were present in addition to multinucleated cells with periodic acid Schiff (PAS -positive cytoPAS -positiveles.
The two major histologic types of EC are esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) [ 1, 3, 6– 8].
