Cancers of the brain are the consequence of abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Brain cancers can arise from primary brain cells, the cells that form other brain components (for example, membranes, blood vessels), or from the growth ofcancercells that develop in other organs and that ha...
The unique biology and microenvironment of the brain is the main aspect of brain cancers. Each form of tumor has its own biology, course of therapy, prognosis outlook, and a different set of risk factors [10,11], and this makes the brain tumor classification difficult to describe. Pressure ...
Prognosis Since most patients are diagnosed when the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other structures, the prognosis for esophageal cancer is poor. Generally, no more than half of all patients are candidates for curative treatment. Even if cure is attempted, the cancer can recur. ...
Diagnosis and prognosis Initial diagnosis often begins with a positive Pap test, which is followed by a more comprehensive examination to confirm the presence of cervical cancer. Examination typically involves colposcopy, in which the epithelial tissues of the cervix, vagina, and vulva are viewed with...
The prognosis is dismal, especially among lung cancers. Keywords: marantic endocarditis; anticoagulation; overall survival; meta-analysis; lung cancer 1. Introduction Hypercoagulability has been demonstrated to be associated with cancer. There is unlikely a single mechanism but rather a diverse set of...
Lung cancer stages help doctors determine the spread of the cancer, the likelihood of your body’s response to treatment, and other factors related to your prognosis (overall health outlook). NSCLC has five stages based on the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) system. ...
(the cell or tissue from which a tumour arises) and by their microscopic appearance. That classification scheme, though not followed with rigid logic or consistency, allows tumours to be categorized by a characteristic clinical behaviour, such as prognosis, and by response to therapy. Tumour...
Metastasization occurs when more of the abnormal cells circulate, and become attached in different body parts like the lungs, brain, liver, colon, intestine, uterus, breasts, bone and throat, which is just to mention a few. As it is, successful metastasis has been established as the leading...
Women who have hormone-receptor positive cancers generally have a better prognosis. That's because they are more likely to respond to hormone therapy.The biopsy sample should also be tested for a growth-promoting protein called HER2. The HER2 gene tells the cell to make the HER2 protein. ...
The transition from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is associated with poorer patient prognosis. Here, the authors investigate NUMB loss as a driver of the NMIBC-to-MIBC transition and identify a RHOA/ROCK/YAP signaling pathway as a therapeutic...
