3839 (ii) Increased tissue blood flow which favours increased oxygen diffusion into the tissue;15 and (iii) increased capillary recruitment and density, which can limit the diffusion distance to cells during an
Cellular toxicity Human HepG2 cells can act as a surrogate for effects of toxicity on human liver, an important cause of drug failure in the clinic, and cytotoxicity is often an early-stage marker for adverse effects of compounds (in combination with other parameters), etc. Heterogeneity of ...
What is breast cancer? Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast grow out of control. Several types of breast cancer can develop, depending on which cells turn into cancer. Most breast cancers start in the tissue or ducts of the breast. ...
Genetic mutations are most often caused by hereditary factors, environmental factors and certain viral infections, but can sometimes happen for no fathomable reason. Cancer can develop in any part of the body and spread to other parts in a process known as invasion and metastasis. Cancer cells ca...
Blood tests may be used to check for anemia (lack of red blood cells). Stomach cancer can cause anemia to develop. A bowel movement sample may be checked for blood. An x-ray, ultrasound, or CT may show the size and location of the tumor or if the cancer has spread. You may be ...
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), sometimes referred to as "oat-cell carcinoma," occurs when the cells in your lungs start to grow unusually or uncontrollably. This unusual growth takes place inside your lungs or the lining of the airways. As more cancer cells grow, they can form into a tum...
Tumors such as hartoma and papilloma are considered benign and non-cancerous. They do not damage the surrounding lung tissue. But malignant cancer cells create an array of health problems. Malignant and Destructive Lung Cancers Malignant lung cancers can be separated into two categories. These are...
Why Cancer Comes Back The simplest explanation is that the treatment you had before didn't destroy all the cancer cells in your body. Even very small cells that were left behind can grow into tumors over time. That doesn't mean you got the wrong treatment. Cancer cells are tricky, and ...
Cancer can be life threatening. The key is in early diagnosis. If cancer is diagnosed early, there is a high chance that cancer can be completely cured. How Does Cancer Spread to Other Parts of the Body? The cells within malignant tumors have the ability to invade neighboring tissues and ...
However, certain molecules are found only in cancer cells, and researchers are attempting to use those molecules to train the immune system to fight cancer. They call these molecules neoantigens, and they're introduced to healthy cells through processes such as genetic mutation. "If you can iden...
