Case description

High Magnification Endoscopy. You can observe a close up of the malign nodules. tumor mass of the stomach from patients with scirrhous. carcinoma was analyzed biochemically and immunohistochemically to elucidate whether or not infiltrating carcinoma cells are directly responsible for overproductions of collagen in the lesion. Collagen content per unit transverse section of the tumor was two to four times higher than the normal. Of particular interest was that the contents of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate were five to ten times higher than the normal, suggesting that cells in the lesion of the tumor are in an actively proliferating stage.
