Malignant melanomas occurred most frequently on the plantar surface of the foot (76%). Melanoma is also a virulent tumor in black patients, with 11 of 13 patients developing lymph node metastasis and only 2 patients surviving. Skin cancer in black patients presents a very different clinical ...
An international research team has succeeded in stopping the growth of malignant melanoma by reactivating a protective mechanism that prevents tumor cells from dividing. The team used chemical agents to block the enzymes responsible for erasing epigenetic marks at the DNA. This discovery has potential ...
A new Tel Aviv University study reveals a novel way of detectingbrainmicrometastases months before they transform into malignant inoperable growths. According to the research, micro-tumorcellshijack astrogliosis, the brain's natural response to damage or injury, to support metastatic growth. This know...
Nowadays, prostate cancer is the most widespread tumour in worldwide male population. Actually, brachytherapy is the most advanced radiotherapy strategy for the local treatment of prostate cancer. It consists in the placing of radioactive sources closed
the base of the tumors were circumscribed with inflammation...as if the body became 'alerted' to their presence. W/in a few days, the tumors began to 'seep'. By the 21st day, what was left was a mere shell of the tumor that simply fell off leaving pink healthy skin beneath with no...
Black Seed Components Kill Malignant Brain Cancer Cells Researchers from Ohio State University published a study in 2013 indicating that glioblastoma is the most aggressive and common type of malignant brain tumor in humans, with a median survival of 15 months. These researchers emphasized that there...

Next, the anticancer competence of melanin has been investigated versus two distinct malignant cell lines, Mcf7 and A431. The variation in the morphological nature of Mcf7 and A431 cell lines is the initial manifestation shown after exposure to melanin pigment. As the concentrations of melanin in...
Tumor suppressor genesare parts of the genetic code that prevent and interrupt malignant changes in cells. In approximately half ofall human malignancies, the p53 gene is mutated, thus impairing the cell protective role ofp53.9 Whenp53is functional, it defends the health of cells byrepairing damag...
In contrast, the C3G-treated mice showed no tumor involvement at the abdominal wall (left panel). B, in the positive control mouse, the tumor also extensively involved the mesenteric fat with malignant ascites (arrows). C, sections of implanted tumor from dorsal skin of positive control mouse...
