ulcerative colitisPeople at average risk for colorectal cancer (asymptomatic, age greater than or equal to years, no risk factors) are offered fecal occult blood testing each year and sigmoidoscopy every five years. In case of a positive fecal occult blood test, examination of the whole colon ...
One unique clinical presentation is that of iNHL with circulating peripheral blood lymphoma cells with or without splenomegaly, but with minimal to no lymphadenopathy (LAD). This presentation is characteristic of SMZL, but can also be seen in a subset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic...
Apoptosis has been established as a mechanism of anti-cancer defense. Members of the BCL-2 family are critical mediators of apoptotic cell death in health and disease, often found to be deregulated in cancer and believed to lead to the survival of malign
