2 days ago · Neuroendocrine tumors, or NETs, are tumors that form in neuroendocrine cells. NETs are rare and complex. Because their behavior can be difficult to predict, it is important for patients to be seen by an experienced team of doctors for diagnosis and treatment.
5 days ago · Lymphoscintigraphy is a type of imaging that can provide a map of lymphatic fluid drainage and lymph nodes. It's commonly used to help evaluate breast cancer.
3 days ago · An oncogene is a mutated gene that has the potential to cause cancer. Before an oncogene becomes mutated, it is called a proto-oncogene, and it plays a role in regulating normal cell division. Cancer can arise when a proto-oncogene is mutated, changing it into an oncogene and causing the cell to divide and multiply uncontrollably.
5 days ago · Non-small cell lung cancers account for about 85% of lung cancers, many of them associated with smoking. Of these, roughly 30% are squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cell carcinoma begins in the tissues that line the air passages in the lungs. It is also known as epidermoid carcinoma.
2 days ago · Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse population of membrane structures produced and released by cells into the extracellular space for the intercellular trafficking of cargo molecules. They are implicated in various biological processes, including angiogenesis, immunomodulation, and cancer cell signaling. While much research has focused on their biogenesis or their effects on recipient ...
1 day ago · In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body of cells that have been damaged beyond repair. Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing cancer. If apoptosis is for some reason prevented, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division and the subsequent development of a tumor.
5 days ago · Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mediators between cancer cells and other types of cells, such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), in the tumor microenvironment. EVs can remodel the tumor microenvironment ...
