Cancer/Testis genes in relation to sperm biology and function
Cancer testis antigens (CTAs), a large family of tumor-associated and immunogenic antigens expressed in human tumors of various histological origins, are highly restricted to the testis and trophoblast. CTAs have been identified as potent targets for tumor-specific immunotherapeutic advances and have immensely lead to the development of different clinical trials of CTA-based vaccine therapy bec...
متن کاملCancer Biology
1. Cancer is caused by unique mutations in the DNA of normal cells. Most cancers arise from a few cells which acquire somatic mutations over the course of years. Less commonly, some inherited germline mutations, present in all cells, can predispose cells to develop a cancer phenotype. 2. Some DNA mutations that contribute to the formation of cancer arise in normal genes known as proto-oncogenes...

Purpose: Abnormal accumulation and dysregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor family member HER3 is associated with the development of various human cancers including those of the breast, lung, and ovary. We have previously shown that in melanoma HER3 is frequently overexpressed and is associated with poor prognosis. However, the importance of HER3 in colon cancer and its putative pr...
متن کاملBiology of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is a serious health problem, a challenge for research, and a model for studying the molecular mechanisms involved in its development. According to its incidence, this pathology manifests itself in three forms: family, hereditary, and most commonly sporadic, apparently not associated with any hereditary or familial factor. For the types having inheritance patterns and a family ...
متن کاملIntroduction to Cancer Biology
By the time the reader reaches Chapter 20, which focuses specifically on cancer, the mechanisms and symptoms of cancer are relatively easy to understand. Chapter 20 covers topics such as the cellular phenotypes of cancer, genes linked to cancer, and cancer treatment. While the primary literature citations at the end of the chapter will provide good starting points for the curious student, a mor...
