Patients with newly diagnosed T-ALL/LBL who received frontline chemotherapy between the years 2000 and 2014 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were identified and immunophenotypically categorized into early, thymic, and mature per the World Health Organization (WHO) classification using CD1a and surface CD3 status.
Our results highlight the conserved nature of CD1 genes and may point to the immuoregulatory functions of CD1 molecules in cancer that can be exerted through fine tuning of NK, T and NKT cells.
The relationship existing between inflammation and cancer due to chronic infection, and demonstrated in many solid tumors, led us to study LCs in eight cases of vulvar LS, which showed an evolution to carcinoma of the vulva and in ten cases of unchanged vulvar LS in matched patients by immunohistochemistry for antibodies CD1a and S100.
