A common theme among ethical issues in oncology: the need to individualize advanced cancer care.
Clinical oncologists are trained to evaluate a patient’s condition and assist the patient in choosing between available, ideally evidence-based, options to maximize quality of life and overall health. However, many situations arise that require clinicians to confront choices related to communication, resource utilization, goals of care, and other factors beyond clinical management alone. Medica...
متن کاملGeometry, Statistics, Probability: Variations on a Common Theme
ion Mathematicians like to talk about how things behave, rather than what they are. Nonmathematicians often prefer the reverse. "Anything that behaves this way is a vector (because I said so)" is not a natural way of talking to the nonmathematician. Mathematicians ought to be more sensitive to this than they typically are. Repeating examples in different words, emphasizing the equivalence of th...
متن کاملWnt signaling: a common theme in animal development.
Wnt proteins are now recognized as one of the major families of developmentally important signaling molecules, with mutations in Wnt genes displaying remarkable phenotypes in the mouse, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila. Among functions provided by Wnt proteins are such intriguing processes as embryonic induction, the generation of cell polarity, and the specification of cell fate. Until r...
متن کاملTargeting of Ran: variation on a common theme?
The Ran GTPase plays a key role in nucleocytoplasmic transport. In its GTP-bound form, it directly interacts with members of the importin beta family of nuclear transport receptors and modulates their association with cargo. Work in cell-free higher-eukaryote systems has demonstrated additional roles for Ran in spindle and nuclear envelope formation during mitosis. However, until recently, no R...
متن کاملEpigenetic changes: a common theme in acute myelogenous leukemogenesis
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rather common disease, characterized by the presence of a clonal population of hematopoietic progenitor cells with impaired differentiation. Although traditionally AML has been considered the result of genetic alterations, more recently experimental evidence have demonstrated that epigenetic modifications are important in development and maintenance of leukemia...
