Prognostic impact of array-based genomic profiles in esophageal squamous cell cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE) is a rare endothelial neoplasm that involves the bones in only 14% of all cases. The optimal treatment strategy has not been established. We herein report a case of primary PMHE in which denosumab treatment showed activity in both imaging studies and the clinical ou...
