Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the Transverse Colon Presenting as Dermatomyositis: Case Presentation and Literature Review

Abstract

Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the transverse colon is a rare presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or colonic neoplasm. Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune condition of the skin, muscle, and blood vessels that when associated with malignancy is a true paraneoplastic syndrome but is rarely associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We present a case of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the transverse colon diagnosed after the presentation of dermatomyositis and review the literature on dermatomyositis and hematologic neoplasm.

Some strategies of activation therapy using radiations of microwave ranges in experiments on tumor-bearing animals

“…at EMR that opens broad perspectives for optimization of their regulatory actions on the organism in treatments of a great variety of pathology. In experimental and clinical oncology, the EMR in the band of infra-low frequencies (ILF) [4][5][6] and, in contrast thereto, the band of extremely high frequencies (EHF, the millimeter band) [7][8][9], which do not belong to the optical radiation spectrum, are most used as ac- companying therapy electromagnetic factors. Low-intensity EMR in the microwave length band are less common applied, and their effects on tumors are primarily under experimental studies now [10,11].…”
