Down Syndrome: Current Status, Challenges and Future Perspectives
Down syndrome (DS) is a birth defect with huge medical and social costs, caused by trisomy of whole or part of chromosome 21. It is the most prevalent genetic disease worldwide and the common genetic cause of intellectual disabilities appearing in about 1 in 400-1500 newborns. Although the syndrome had been described thousands of years before, it was named after John Langdon Down who described ...
متن کاملThe molecular biology of lung cancer brain metastasis: an overview of current comprehensions and future perspectives.
Brain metastases occur in 20-40% of patients with advanced malignancies and lung cancer is one of the most common causes of brain metastases. The occurrence of brain metastases is associated with poor prognosis and high morbidity in patients with advanced lung cancer, even after intensive multimodal therapy. Progress in treating brain metastases has been hampered by a lack of model systems, a l...
متن کاملCurrent treatments and future perspectives in colorectal and gastric cancer.
Given the high rate of distant spread, effective systemic therapy is key to improving survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The past 40 years have seen progress. The addition of folinic acid (FA) to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the use of infusional rather than bolus 5-FU, and the combination of new active agents such as irinotecan and oxaliplatin with 5-FU/FA have each led to an increas...
متن کاملErlotinib Resistance in Lung Cancer: Current Progress and Future Perspectives
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world. Despite modern advancements in surgeries, chemotherapies, and radiotherapies over the past few years, lung cancer still remains a very difficult disease to treat. This has left the death rate from lung cancer victims largely unchanged throughout the past few decades. A key cause for the high mortality rate is the drug resistance that builds up...
متن کاملCurrent Status and Future Perspectives in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is increasing all over the world. The exact cause of this increase is still debated and there are conflicting reports. Sophisticated molecular studies suggest that environmental chemicals may have effects of thyroid carcinogenesis. The development of powerful molecular biology techniques has enabled targeted next-generation sequencing for detection of mutations in thyroid cancer,...
