Cancer can no doubt cause a lot of pain and discomfort to our pets, and can significantly shorten their lives. However, not all cancers carry a poor prognosis. The key for us dog parents is to educate ourselves more on different types of common dog cancer and their clinical signs, and ...
Physical examination may not be helpful in making a diagnosis of esophageal cancer; the esophagus is hidden within the chestcavityand not easily evaluated by physical examination. In the early stage of esophageal cancer, there may be no symptoms at all. It is only when the tumor grows enough ...
The lung also is a very common site for metastasis from malignant tumors in other parts of the body. The same types of cells as the original (primary) tumor make up tumor metastases. For example, ifprostate cancerspreads via the bloodstream to the lungs, it is metastatic prostate cancerin ...
Metastatic brain tumors are the most common type of tumor found in the brain and are much more common than primary brain tumors. Metastatic tumors are usually named after the type of tissue from which the original cancer cells arose (for example, metastatic lung or metastatic breast cancer). ...
Positron emission tomography(PET) scanning is a specialized imaging technique that uses short-lived radioactivedrugsto produce three-dimensional colored images of those drugs in the tissues within the body. While CT scans and MRI scans look at anatomical structures, PET scans measure metabolic activity...
Using a stethoscope, doctors sometimes can hear fluid around the lungs, which may suggest lung cancer. But definitively diagnosing it usually involves a combination of several tests, according to the ACS. These include: Imaging tests such X-rays, positron emission tomography (PET) scans, CT scans...
Getting imaging scans: Prior to surgery, patients may need to get imaging tests like positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) scans. These scans will help doctors see exactly where the cancer is so all tumors can be removed during surgery. Mesothelioma Surgery Recovery Recov...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals that a high level of ASCL1 is key in specifying highly migratory neural stem cell (NSC)/astrocyte-like tumor cell types, which are marked by upregulation of ribosomal protein, oxidative phosphorylation, cancer metastasis, and therapeutic resistance ...
